Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Fix queue full check
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 10:40:36 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101028051036.25340.23442.sendpatchset@krkumar2.in.ibm.com> (raw)

I get many queue full errors being wrongly reported when running
parallel netperfs:

Oct 17 10:22:40 localhost kernel: net eth0: Unexpected TX queue failure: -28
Oct 17 10:28:22 localhost kernel: net eth0: Unexpected TX queue failure: -28
Oct 17 10:35:58 localhost kernel: net eth0: Unexpected TX queue failure: -28
Oct 17 10:41:06 localhost kernel: net eth0: Unexpected TX queue failure: -28

I initially changed the check from -ENOMEM to -ENOSPC, but
virtqueue_add_buf can return only -ENOSPC when it doesn't have
space for new request.  Patch removes redundant checks but
displays the failure errno.
