From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Rob Herring Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: calxedaxgmac: fix rx ring handling when OOM Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:32:44 -0500 Message-ID: <1364506365-13689-1-git-send-email-robherring2@gmail.com> Cc: "David S. Miller" , Rob Herring To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org From: Rob Herring If skb allocation for the rx ring fails repeatedly, we can reach a point were the ring is empty. In this condition, the driver is out of sync with the h/w. While this has always been possible, the removal of the skb recycling seems to have made triggering this problem easier.
