Subject: [PATCH] net/fec: fix link/queue interaction, wake queue iff link is up
Date: Wed,  6 Oct 2010 13:31:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1286364718-20070-1-git-send-email-oskar@linutronix.de> (raw)

with hardware slow in negotiation, the system did freeze
while trying to mount root on nfs at boot time.

while the driver did report being busy when the link is down
or no transmission buffers are available, it did not stop the
queue, causing instant retries. furthermore, transmission being
triggered with link down was caused by unconditional queue
wakes, especially on timeouts.

now, wake queue only iff link is up and transmission
buffers are available, and dont forget to wake queue
when link has been adjusted. next, add stop queue notification
upon driver induced transmission problems, so network stack has
a chance to handle the situation.
