From 75c1c82566f23dd539fb7ccbf57a1caa7ba82628 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Changli Gao Date: Sat, 4 Dec 2010 14:09:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ifb: goto resched directly if error happens and dp->tq isn't empty If we break the loop when there are still skbs in tq and no skb in rq, the skbs will be left in txq until new skbs are enqueued into rq. In rare cases, no new skb is queued, then these skbs will stay in rq forever. After this patch, if tq isn't empty when we break the loop, we goto resched directly.
