From: Julio Faracco <jcfaracco@xxxxxxxxx> Driver virtio_net is not handling error events for TX provided by dev_watchdog. This event is reached when transmission queue is having problems to transmit packets. To enable it, driver should have .ndo_tx_timeout implemented. This serie has two commits: In the past, we implemented a function to recover driver state when this kind of event happens, but the structure was to complex for virtio_net that moment. Alternativelly, this skeleton should be enough for now. For further details, see thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/23/691 Patch 1/2: Add statistic field for TX timeout events. Patch 2/2: Implement a skeleton function to debug TX timeout events.
