It should not. netvsc_start_xmit() should not be called if the queue is stopped. The problem is the following : netvsc_start_xmit() is called with the packet that is going to stop the queue, filling last slot, but with skb->xmit_more = 1; So you need to do something about xmit_more, after calling netif_tx_stop_queue(), not before. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
