Subject: Re: [PATCH] vmxnet3: fix starving rx ring whenoc_skb kb fails


If the rx ring is completely empty, then the device may never fire an rx 
interrupt. Unfortunately, the rx interrupt is what triggers populating the 
rx ring with fresh buffers, so this will cause networking to lock up.

This patch replenishes the skb in recv descriptor as soon as it is 
peeled off while processing rx completions. If the skb/buffer 
allocation fails, existing one is recycled and the packet in hand is 
dropped. This way none of the RX desc is ever left empty, thus avoiding 
starvation
