Subject: [PATCH net-next] mlx4: dont orphan skbs in mlx4_en_xmit()
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2012 19:53:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348854806.5093.2686.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1348056777.26523.750.camel@edumazet-glaptop>
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
After commit e22979d96a55d (mlx4_en: Moving to Interrupts for TX
completions) we no longer need to orphan skbs in mlx4_en_xmit()
since skb wont stay a long time in TX ring before their release.
Orphaning skbs in ndo_start_xmit() should be avoided as much as
possible, since it breaks TCP Small Queue or other flow control
mechanisms (per socket limits)
