From 8fa9524d6b5519b6e1d549cb37bbbd10587e3eae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2014 15:29:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 3c509: Call dev_consume_skb_any instead of dev_kfree_skb. Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in el3_start_xmit as it can be called in hard irq and other contexts. dev_consume_skb_any is used as on this simple hardware the skb is consumed directly by the start_xmit function.
