If so then it is possible for the netpoll poll to run between np->intr_status being cleared and netif_rx_complete() being called. If the hardware asserts an interrupt at the wrong moment then this could cause the In any case, this is a problem independently of netpoll if the chip shares an interrupt with anything so the interrupt handler should be fixed to cope with this situation instead. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
