Subject: 8139cp: reset BQL when ring tx ring cleared
From: stephen hemminger <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 98962baad72fd6d393bf39dbb7c2076532c363c6 ]
This patch cures transmit timeout's with DHCP observed
while running under KVM. When the transmit ring is cleaned out,
the Byte Queue Limit values need to be reset.
