Subject: net/mlx4_en: remove NETDEV_TX_BUSY
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fe971b95c22578456ff7198537827841c726d3f7;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

net/mlx4_en: remove NETDEV_TX_BUSY

Drivers should avoid NETDEV_TX_BUSY as much as possible.

They should stop the tx queue before qdisc even tries to push another
packet, to avoid requeues.

For a driver supporting skb->xmit_more, this is likely to be a prereq
anyway, otherwise we could have a tx deadlock : We need to force a
doorbell if TX ring is full.
