Subject: [PATCH net-2.6] ifb: goto resched directly if error happens and dp->tq isn't empty
Date: Sun,  5 Dec 2010 08:09:08 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1291507748-4958-1-git-send-email-xiaosuo@gmail.com> (raw)

If we break the loop when there are still skbs in tq and no skb in
rq, the skbs will be left in txq until new skbs are enqueued into rq.
In rare cases, no new skb is queued, then these skbs will stay in rq
forever.

After this patch, if tq isn't empty when we break the loop, we goto
resched directly.
