Rollback the reservation in the completion ring when we get a
NETDEV_TX_BUSY. When this error is received from the driver, we are
supposed to let the user application retry the transmit again. And in
order to do this, we need to roll back the failed send so it can be
retried. Unfortunately, we did not cancel the reservation we had made
in the completion ring. By not doing this, we actually make the
completion ring one entry smaller per NETDEV_TX_BUSY error we get, and
after enough of these errors the completion ring will be of size zero
and transmit will stop working.
Fix this by cancelling the reservation when we get a NETDEV_TX_BUSY
error.

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.
