From: Esben Haabendal <esben@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f6396341194234e9b01cd7538bc2c6ac4501ab14 ] As documented in Documentation/networking/driver.rst, the ndo_start_xmit method must not return NETDEV_TX_BUSY under any normal circumstances, and as recommended, we simply stop the tx queue in advance, when there is a risk that the next xmit would cause a NETDEV_TX_BUSY return.
