Subject: [PATCH net-next] sfc: ensure recovery after allocation failures
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2019 17:27:43 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6beed7df-01e6-a15e-0e19-d40bf0ff945c@solarflare.com> (raw)

From: Robert Stonehouse <rstonehouse@solarflare.com>

After failing to allocate a receive buffer the driver may fail to ever
request additional allocations. EF10 NICs require new receive buffers to
be pushed in batches of eight or more. The test for whether a slow fill
should be scheduled failed to take account of this. There is little
downside to *always* requesting a slow fill if we failed to allocate a
buffer, so the condition has been removed completely. The timer that
triggers the request for a refill has also been shortened.
