[PATCH 1/1] net/hyperv: Fix the code handling tx busy

From: Haiyang Zhang
Date: Mon Mar 19 2012 - 12:55:56 EST


Instead of dropping the packet, we keep the skb buffer, and return
NETDEV_TX_BUSY to let upper layer retry send. This will not cause
endless loop, because the host is taking data away from ring buffer.
