From fe971b95c22578456ff7198537827841c726d3f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2014 09:30:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx4_en: remove NETDEV_TX_BUSY Drivers should avoid NETDEV_TX_BUSY as much as possible. They should stop the tx queue before qdisc even tries to push another packet, to avoid requeues. For a driver supporting skb->xmit_more, this is likely to be a prereq anyway, otherwise we could have a tx deadlock : We need to force a doorbell if TX ring is full.
