Most drivers should not have to worry about selecting the right weight for their NAPI instances and pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT. It'd be best if we didn't require the argument at all and selected the default internally. This change prepares the ground for such reshuffling, allowing for a smooth transition. The following API should remain after the next release cycle: netif_napi_add() netif_napi_add_weight() netif_napi_add_tx() netif_napi_add_tx_weight() Where the _weight() variants take an explicit weight argument. I opted for a _weight() suffix rather than a __ prefix, because we use __ in places to mean that caller needs to also issue a synchronize_net() call.

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.
