Improve TX pool buffer accounting to prevent the producer index from overruning the consumer. First, set the next free index to an invalid value if it is in use. If next buffer to be consumed is in use, drop the packet. Finally, if the transmit fails for some other reason, roll back the consumer index and set the free map entry to its original value. This should also be done if the DMA map fails. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
