From e05b310198f2ff513ad6654176e0e263088f9500 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2014 15:34:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 8390: Call dev_consume_skb_any instead of dev_kfree_skb. Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in __ei_start_xmit that can be called in hard irq and other contexts. dev_consume_skb is used as in this simple driver the skb is always immediately consumed, there are no drops.
