Subject: [NET-NEXT PATCH 10/25] ixgb: remove lltx support and update tx routine
Date: Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:51:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080708225152.6925.18633.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080708224858.6925.29725.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>

a) kernel developers suggest LLTX is broken and unsafe to use, remove it.
b) remember to pre-stop the queue if we won't have room
c) removing lltx means we can remove our tx lock
