linux napi网卡驱动原理

NAPI（New API） 将中断与轮讯结合在一起，避免频繁的中断造成的系统开销。
基本思路是：
中断到来--->关闭中断--->调度softirq--->在softirq里面多设备进行轮询，直到没有包为止--->开启中断

/*
 * Structure for NAPI scheduling similar to tasklet but with weighting
 */
struct napi_struct {
 /* The poll_list must only be managed by the entity which
  * changes the state of the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit.  This means
  * whoever atomically sets that bit can add this napi_struct
  * to the per-cpu poll_list, and whoever clears that bit
  * can remove from the list right before clearing the bit.
