From 0f97ede45e65ffb6eab856313e79b14b902bcfaa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 20:52:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] packet: report tx_dropped in packet_direct_xmit Since commit 015f0688f57c ("net: net: add a core netdev->tx_dropped counter"), we can now account for TX drops from within the core stack instead of drivers. Therefore, fix packet_direct_xmit() and increase drop count when we encounter a problem before driver's xmit function was called (we do not want to doubly account for it).
