[PATCH] libcxgbi: do not print a message when memory allocation fails

From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <hidden>
Date: 2011-12-14 15:46:36
Also in: linux-scsi, lkml
Subsystem: scsi subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: "James E.J. Bottomley", "Martin K. Petersen", Linus Torvalds

In alloc_pdu, libcxgbi tries to allocate a skb with GFP_ATOMIC, which
may potentially fail. When it happens, the current code prints a warning
message.

When the system is under IO stress, this failure may happen lots of
times and it usually scares users.

Instead of printing the warning message, the code now increases the
tx_dropped statistics for the ethernet interface wich is doing the iscsi
task.
