This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: ravb: Always process TX descriptor ring to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-ravb-always-process-tx-descriptor-ring.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3cf1fec3a3cf24eb22bd8136e2214736d2ca22ed Author: Paul Barker <paul.barker.ct@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 2 15:53:04 2024 +0100 net: ravb: Always process TX descriptor ring [ Upstream commit 596a4254915f94c927217fe09c33a6828f33fb25 ] The TX queue should be serviced each time the poll function is called, even if the full RX work budget has been consumed. This prevents starvation of the TX queue when RX bandwidth usage is high.
