And it should not. The qdisc drops the packet due to flow control, not the hardware device. Device drops are for things like transmission errors on the wire. If you start incrementing tx_dropped here, people won't be able to tell they have a deteriorating cable or bad switch or similar. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
