From 58eba97d0774c69b1cf3e5a8ac74419409d1abbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2010 16:34:01 +0000 Subject: virtio_net: fix oom handling on tx virtio net will never try to overflow the TX ring, so the only reason add_buf may fail is out of memory. Thus, we can not stop the device until some request completes - there's no guarantee anything at all is outstanding. Make the error message clearer as well: error here does not indicate queue full.
