Two comments:

1) we have a vague definition of "RX work processed." Due to error conditions and goto's in that function, rx_processed_cnt may or may not equal the number of packets actually processed.

2) man I dislike these inline C statement combinations (ranting at original code style, not you). I would much rather waste a few extra lines of source code and make the conditions obvious:

        while (... && (rx_processed_cnt < limit)) {
                rx_processed_cnt++;

                ...
        }

or even

        while (1) {
                ...
                if (rx_processed_cnt == limit)
                        break;
                rx_processed_cnt++;
        }

The compiler certainly doesn't care, and IMO it prevents bugs.

agreed. Do you have an uptodate patch/git-URI for the forcedeth rewrite you did? I can throw it into the testbed.

Branch 'fe-lock' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git

It works here locally, but at this very minute I am rewriting those changesets yet again :)
