From d09f32622f6fc247dd88f731c34be10395785d8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2015 13:34:35 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 133/251] efinet: retransmit if our device is busy When I fixed the txbuf handling I ripped out the retransmission code since it was flooding our network when we had the buggy behavior. Turns out this was too heavy handed as we can still have transient tx timeouts. So instead make sure we retry our transmission once per timeout. This way we can deal with transient transmission problems without flooding the box. This fixes an issue we were seeing in production.
