Subject: virtio: fix delayed xmit of packet and freeing of old packets.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=11a3a1546d0adc36485c2ad4af7ab950712df6ff;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

virtio: fix delayed xmit of packet and freeing of old packets.

Because we cache the last failed-to-xmit packet, if there are no
packets queued behind that one we may never send it (reproduced here
as TCP stalls, "cured" by an outgoing ping).
