Are you sure this fix applies to the upstream version of talitos?
(i.e. have you encountered the error while running on cryptodev.git ?)

Looks to me this is a fix for the not-upstreamed-yet NAPI patch
(which needs to be reworked according to Dave's feedback).

When you respin the patch series, consider removing this one.

Cheers,
Horia
