Subject: [PATCH 2.6.35-rc1] net-next: vmxnet3 fixes [1/5] Spare skb to avoid
starvation (fwd)
skb_alloc() failure can cause the ring to loose all packet reception. Avoid
this by introducing a spare buffer. The spare skb is only used when the ring
is "empty" and an skb allocation failure would cause the ring to starve. It is
never handed up to netif_rx(), and instead, when the rx_interrupt occurs, the
skb is shuffled back to reuse. Further use the incoming receive packet
interrupts as events to poll for skb allocation.
