Subject: Re: [PATCH] virtio_net: Remove BUG() to aviod machine dead

thanks, I submit the patch as commented by Andrew 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/5/18/256

Actually, if xmit_skb() returns error, below code will give a warning 
with error code.

	/* Try to transmit */
	err = xmit_skb(sq, skb);

	/* This should not happen! */
	if (unlikely(err)) {
		dev->stats.tx_fifo_errors++;
		if (net_ratelimit())
			dev_warn(&dev->dev,
				 "Unexpected TXQ (%d) queue failure: %d\n",
				 qnum, err);
		dev->stats.tx_dropped++;
		dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
		return NETDEV_TX_OK;
	}
