Is the netif_running() check even required?

No, it is not.

When a device is brought down, one of the first things
that happens is that we wait for all pending NAPI polls
to complete, then block any new polls from starting.

Great, thanks.  I will submit a patch to remove the bogus
check.  This should fix myri10ge properly.


Thank you,

Drew
