From 2367a17390138f68b3aa28f2f220b8d7ff8d91f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 19:34:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: flush when in xmit_more mode and under descriptor pressure When xmit_more mode is being used and the ring is about to become full or the stack has stopped the ring, enforce a tail pointer write to the hw. Otherwise, we could risk a TX hang. Code suggested by Alexander Duyck. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
