Hello!
However I'm confused about a couple of things, and there are only two
uses of netif_rx_reschedule() in the kernel, so I'm a little stuck.
First, do not believe to even single bit of code or docs about
netif_rx_reschedule(). It was used once in the first version of NAPI
for 3com driver
I'm looking at updating IP-over-InfiniBand to use NAPI, and due to the

Actually, why does undoing the change to quota make sense? Presumably
I passed N packets to netif_receive_skb() -- why shouldn't I
