From: Linas Vepstas Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 18:23:42 +0000 (-0500) Subject: spidernet: Don't terminate the RX ring X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc6~66 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2bf27a0d4913a5f0ef38e3be510b1b3add2869ad;p=linux-2.6 spidernet: Don't terminate the RX ring The terminated RX ring will cause trouble during the RX ram full conditions, leading to a hung driver, as the hardware can't find the next descr. There is no real reason to terminate the RX ring; it doesn't make the operation any smooother, and it does require an extra sync. So don't do it.
