From: Auke Kok Date: Fri, 26 May 2006 16:35:38 +0000 (-0700) Subject: ixgb: revert an unwanted fix regarding tso/descriptors X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=989316ddfeafd0e8fb51a4d811383769ad62637a;p=linux-beck.git ixgb: revert an unwanted fix regarding tso/descriptors There seemed to be another bug introduced as well as a performance hit with the addtion of the sentinel descriptor workaround. Removal of this workaround appears to prevent the hang. We'll take a risk and remove it, as we had never seen the originally reported bug under linux.
