From: Jitendra Kalsaria <redacted> qlge driver was acting wrongly when considering TX ring full as a TX error. TX ring full is expected behavior when NIC is overwhelmed and is expected to happen, as far as packets are not lost. Signed-off-by: Jitendra Kalsaria <redacted>
If your driver is properly coded, this code path should never trigger, ever. So it is an error, and you need to fix whatever bug exists in your driver which allows this to happen, rather than this change here which attempts to sweep the issue under the rug.
