From: Vineeth Remanan Pillai Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2017 18:59:01 +0000 (+0000) Subject: xen-netfront: Rework the fix for Rx stall during OOM and network stress X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=538d92912d3190a1dd809233a0d57277459f37b2;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git xen-netfront: Rework the fix for Rx stall during OOM and network stress The commit 90c311b0eeea ("xen-netfront: Fix Rx stall during network stress and OOM") caused the refill timer to be triggerred almost on all invocations of xennet_alloc_rx_buffers for certain workloads. This reworks the fix by reverting to the old behaviour and taking into consideration the skb allocation failure. Refill timer is now triggered on insufficient requests or skb allocation failure.
