From 8a5f9edc4dd6c1f9fb2446a36e7cd44b79412271 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haiyang Zhang Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2011 12:19:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] staging: hv: fix counting of available buffer slots when send fails Because the number of available buffer slots doesn't decrease for failed sends, we should not call netvsc_xmit_completion(), which increase the count of available slots. In this failed case, just free the memory is enough. Signed-off-by: Haiyang Zhang Signed-off-by: K. Y.
