Subject: [PATCH net 01/11] net: au1000: recycle RX descriptors on allocation failure
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:31:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027223140.3774570-2-f.fainelli@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027223140.3774570-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com>

An skb allocation failure retries the same completed descriptor forever
in hard IRQ context. Return the buffer to DMA and advance the ring even
when the packet must be dropped.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
