skbs are freed on error and not put on the ring. We may, however, be in a situation where we're freeing the last skb of a batch, and there is a doorbell ring pending because of xmit_more() being true earlier. Make sure we ring the door bell in such situations. Since errors are rare don't pay attention to xmit_more() and just always flush the pending frames. The busy case should be safe to be left alone because it can only happen if start_xmit races with completions and they both enable the queue. In that case the kick can't be pending. Noticed while reading the code. Fixes: 4d172f21cefe ("bnxt_en: Implement xmit_more.")

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
