From: Rusty Russell Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2010 16:34:01 +0000 (+0000) Subject: virtio_net: fix oom handling on tx X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34.2~101 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0094153a72107b3097818f1221c1f49c2eb0db90;p=karo-tx-linux.git virtio_net: fix oom handling on tx commit 58eba97d0774c69b1cf3e5a8ac74419409d1abbf upstream. virtio net will never try to overflow the TX ring, so the only reason add_buf may fail is out of memory. Thus, we can not stop the device until some request completes - there's no guarantee anything at all is outstanding. Make the error message clearer as well: error here does not indicate queue full.
