Subject: Re: TX watchdog vs link-layer flow control
Also: given that the watchdog fires if *any* TX queue is stopped, that
seems to mean that on a device with hardware TX priority it could be
triggered for a TX queue with low priority if the link is filled with
higher-priority TX packets for long enough. (This depends on how 'hard'
the priorities are, of course.)
