Subject: [PATCH 9/10] spidernet: service TX later.
Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 17:21:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070516222147.GI4997@austin.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070516215605.GA4325@austin.ibm.com>
When entering the netdev poll routine, empty out the RX
chain first, before cleaning up the TX chain. This should
help avoid RX buffer overflows.
