via-rhine: forbid holes in the receive descriptor ring.
Rationales: - throttle work under memory pressure - lower receive descriptor recycling latency for the network adapter - lower the maintenance burden of uncommon paths The patch is twofold: - it fails early if the receive ring can't be completely initialized at dev->open() time - it drops packets on the floor in the napi receive handler so as to keep the received ring full Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
