Don't test for having link and let hardware deal with this situation.

Without this patch I see a machine running an -rt patched Linux being
stuck in sch_direct_xmit when it looses link while there is still a
packet to be sent. In this case the fec_enet_start_xmit routine returned
NETDEV_TX_BUSY which makes the network stack reschedule the packet and
so sch_direct_xmit calls fec_enet_start_xmit again.
I failed to reproduce a complete hang without -rt, but I think the
problem exists there, too.

Applied, thanks.

Thanks, I see it as a264b981f2c76e281ef27e7232774bf6c54ec865 in net.git
(i.e.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=a264b981f2c76e281ef27e7232774bf6c54ec865)

You missed to take the

	Acked-and-tested-by: Fugang Duan [off-list ref]

. If you want to fix that, you can do:

	git filter-branch --msg-filter 'if test $GIT_COMMIT = a264b981f2c76e281ef27e7232774bf6c54ec865; then sed "/David/ i Acked-and-tested-by: Fugang Duan [off-list ref]"; else cat; fi' a264b981f2c76e281^..

on your master branch to add it to that commit.

Best regards
Uwe
