bnx2x: fix panic when TX ring is full
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There is a off by one error in the minimal number of BD in
bnx2x_start_xmit() and bnx2x_tx_int() before stopping/resuming tx queue.

A full size GSO packet, with data included in skb->head really needs
(MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 4) BDs, because of bnx2x_tx_split()

This error triggers if BQL is disabled and heavy TCP transmit traffic
occurs.

bnx2x_tx_split() definitely can be called, remove a wrong comment.
