commit 07b3975352374c3f5ebb4a42ef0b253fe370542d upstream. Currently, if we drop a packet, we exit from NAPI loop before the budget is consumed. In some situations this will make the RX processing stall e.g. when flood pinging the system with oversized packets, as the errorneous packets are not dropped efficiently. If we drop a packet, we should just continue to the next one as long as the budget allows. Signed-off-by: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
