staging: unisys: Fix improper use of NETDEV_TX_BUSY
Using NETDEV_TX_BUSY is tricky. Its meant for situations where the error in question is transient and quickly resolved. But the driver rarely is able to know that to a certainty. And in the case of visornic, it just uses it without any care for that, in the hopes that it won't loose frames, even if the problem is that the skb is somehow malformed for the hardware. If we get one of those kinds of skbs, NETDEV_TX_BUSY will just cause us to spin, processing the same error over and over. Fix it by dropping the frame, stopping the queue where appropriate, and returning NETDEV_TX_OK Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Romer <benjamin.romer@unisys.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
