Long before this driver went into mainline, it had support for multiple TX queues per port, with lockless TX enabled. Since Linux did not know anything of this, filling up any hardware TX queue would stop the core TX queue and multiple hardware TX queues could fill up before the scheduler reacted. Thus it was necessary to keep a count of how many TX queues were stopped and to wake the core TX queue only when all had free space again. The driver also previously (ab)used the per-hardware-queue stopped flag as a counter to deal with various things that can inhibit TX, but it no longer does that. Remove the per-channel tx_stop_count, tx_stop_lock and per-hardware-queue stopped count and just use the networking core queue state directly. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
