From 0db1d6fc1ea051af49ebe03c503d23996a7c5bbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Mackall Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 19:25:54 -0700 Subject: [NETPOLL]: add retry timeout Add limited retry logic to netpoll_send_skb Each time we attempt to send, decrement our per-device retry counter. On every successful send, we reset the counter. We delay 50us between attempts with up to 20000 retries for a total of 1 second. After we've exhausted our retries, subsequent failed attempts will try only once until reset by success. Signed-off-by: Matt Mackall Signed-off-by: David S.
