But you're right, it doesn't work this way. I'll have to think of
something. Maybe I can rip out all the retry logic and just store an skb
myself (like dev->gso_skb) and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY when I used that
one and the queue got full because of it. That'll requeue a lot when
non-gso skbs are coming in, but mind you this is not a common case, most
of the time fragmentation will not be enabled and even when it is device
queues should be long enough.
Yes keeping your own gso_skb sounds like a good solution.

Cheers,
