Under heavy stress you can sometimes run into -ENOMEM and you inform the callers. Now ath5k/ath9k both require dev_alloc_skb()'ing some buffers when RXing. Right now we simply move on, but I think it'd be nicer to inform mac80211 and let mac80211 decide. If the system is under complete load I don't expect my drivers to bail out but to somehow gracefully wait a while and then try again. But after a while data starts to become pretty useless if you keep running into -ENOMEM. What should we do then? Thoughts?
