From 48925e372f04f5e35fec6269127c62b2c71ab794 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:59:20 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: avoid (most) NETDEV_TX_BUSY by stopping queue early. Now we can tell the theoretical capacity remaining in the output queue, virtio_net can waste entries by stopping the queue early. It doesn't work in the case of indirect buffers and kmalloc failure, but that's rare (we could drop the packet in that case, but other drivers return TX_BUSY for similar reasons). For the record, I think this patch reflects poorly on the linux network API. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Cc: Dinesh Subhraveti --- Reading git-format-patch failed
