Someone most know the answer to this: What's the proper way to dispose
of Tx skbs that are owned by the h/w ("in-flight") when link was lost?
Lets say your h/w stops Tx processing when link is lost, but you've got
apps waiting for those Tx resources to be returned. h/w isn't giving
those resources back until link is up. Bonding doesn't like this.
We've tried walking the h/w list, and skb_orphan'ing the skbs, but that
only works if the usage count = 1. The other solution is to tear down
and rebuild the Tx ring, but that requires a h/w reset to recover. Yuk!
Any ideas?
