From d516b187a9cc2e842030dd005be2735db3e8f395 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiner Kallweit hkallweit1@gmail.com Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2024 21:51:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] r8169: don't increment tx_dropped in case of NETDEV_TX_BUSY
The skb isn't consumed in case of NETDEV_TX_BUSY, therefore don't increment the tx_dropped counter.
