From 8707bdd48ab705a459ac1b12014075a139d1d4f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jarek Poplawski Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 14:59:30 -0800 Subject: gianfar: Fix boot hangs while bringing up gianfar ethernet Ira Snyder found that commit 8c7396aebb68994c0519e438eecdf4d5fa9c7844 "gianfar: Merge Tx and Rx interrupt for scheduling clean up ring" can cause hangs. It's because there was removed clearing of interrupts in gfar_schedule_cleanup() (which is called by an interrupt handler) in case when netif scheduling has been disabled. This patch brings back this action and a comment.
