I'm worried about the first stating "setting timing", but then not
writing it to the register.

Hmmm...Either move tx-complete handling to the interrupt handler, or
just use a budget big enough for rx and tx-complete.

No, if correctly used, NAPI is race free and no events will be lost:

Handle incoming events (rx or tx-complete) until:
a) number of handled events == budget
or
b) no more events pending.

	while (work_done < budget && interrupts_pending()) {
		work_done += handle_rx(budget - work_done);
		work_done += handle_tx(budget - work_done);
	}

Then, if you have handled less events then budget:
1) call napi_complete()
then
2) enable interrupts.

	if (work_done < budget) {
		napi_complete();
		enable_interrupts();
	}

Then, return number of handled events:

	return work_done;
