mainlining shenanigans
82172b7655
The current code mishandles -EBUSY in two ways:
- The flow change doesn't test the return from the flush and runs on to
process the current packet racing with the wakeup processing
- The -EBUSY handling for a single packet inserts the tx into the txlist
after the submit call, racing with the same wakeup processing
Fix the first by dropping the skb and returning NETDEV_TX_OK.
Fix the second by insuring the the list entry within the txreq is inited
when allocated. This enables the sleep routine to detect that the txreq
has used the non-list api and queue the packet to the txlist.
Both flaws can lead to having the flushing thread executing in causing two
threads to manipulate the txlist.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
