Background:
We have a customer is running a Profinet stack on the 8MM which receives and
responds PNIO packets every 4ms and PNIO-CM packets every 40ms. However, from
time to time the received PNIO-CM package is "stock" and is only handled when
receiving a new PNIO-CM or DCERPC-Ping packet (tcpdump shows the PNIO-CM and
the DCERPC-Ping packet at the same time but the PNIO-CM HW timestamp is from
the expected 40 ms and not the 2s delay of the DCERPC-Ping).

After debugging, we noticed PNIO, PNIO-CM and DCERPC-Ping packets would
be handled by different RX queues.

The root cause should be driver ack all queues' interrupt when handle a
specific queue in fec_enet_rx_queue(). The blamed patch is introduced to
receive as much packets as possible once to avoid interrupt flooding.
But it's unreasonable to clear other queues'interrupt when handling one
queue, this patch tries to fix it.

Fixes: ed63f1dc

 (net: fec: clear receive interrupts before processing a packet)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
