Subject: [PATCH for-2.6.35] virtio_net: do not reschedule rx refill forever
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:18:27 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100610151827.GA3452@redhat.com> (raw)
We currently fill all of RX ring, then add_buf
returns ENOSPC, which gets mis-detected as an out of
memory condition and causes us to reschedule the work,
and so on forever. Fix this by oom = err == -ENOMEM;
Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
