[0/1] Convert tasklets to BH workqueues in ethernet drivers

Message

Allen Pais May 7, 2024, 7:01 p.m. UTC

This series focuses on converting the existing implementation of
tasklets to bottom half (BH) workqueues across various Ethernet
drivers under drivers/net/ethernet/*.

Impact:
 The conversion is expected to maintain or improve the performance
of the affected drivers. It also improves the maintainability and
readability of the driver code.

Testing:
 - Conducted standard network throughput and latency benchmarks
   to ensure performance parity or improvement.
 - Ran kernel regression tests to verify that changes do not introduce new issues.

I appreciate your review and feedback on this patch series.
And additional tested would be really helpful.
