# \[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 16/16\] net: ll\_temac: Avoid ndo\_start\_xmit returning NETDEV\_TX\_BUSY - From: Sasha Levin \ - Date: 2021-06-21 18:04:06 - List: netdev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/netdev/2021/06/1421586 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/stable/2021/06/1421573/t.md ```text From: Esben Haabendal [ Upstream commit f6396341194234e9b01cd7538bc2c6ac4501ab14 ] As documented in Documentation/networking/driver.rst, the ndo_start_xmit method must not return NETDEV_TX_BUSY under any normal circumstances, and as recommended, we simply stop the tx queue in advance, when there is a risk that the next xmit would cause a NETDEV_TX_BUSY return.
