Wei. ---8<--- From 11db4a9cd7267a621725c48f0e0a99c1d6d31866 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:49:59 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xen-netback: correct typo nr_gops -> budget work_done should be limited by budget not nr_gops. Otherwise we trigger "WARN_ON_ONCE(work > weight)" in net/dev/core:net_rx_action.
