From: dhananjay@netxen.com Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2007 18:23:58 +0000 (-0800) Subject: netxen: optimize tx handling X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc8~34^2~11 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=53a01e00f8c78bc5875e09aca7749ea54bb09798;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git netxen: optimize tx handling netxen driver allows limited number of threads simultaneously posting skb's in tx ring. If transmit slot is unavailable, driver calls schedule() or loops in xmit_frame(). This patch returns TX_BUSY and lets the stack reschedule the packet if transmit slot is unavailable. Also removes unnecessary check for tx timeout in the driver itself, the network stack does that anyway.
