From fbf33a2802f71dba06faa948af805884ff16a2ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kretschmer, Mathias" Date: Fri, 8 May 2015 15:44:37 +0200 Subject: af_packet / TX_RING not fully non-blocking (w/ MSG_DONTWAIT). This patch fixes an issue where the send(MSG_DONTWAIT) call on a TX_RING is not fully non-blocking in cases where the device's sndBuf is full. We pass nonblock=true to sock_alloc_send_skb() and return any possibly occuring error code (most likely EGAIN) to the caller. As the fast-path stays as it is, we keep the unlikely() around skb == NULL. Signed-off-by: Mathias Kretschmer Signed-off-by: David S.
