[PATCH 13/21] NTB: Out of free receive entries issue

From: Jon Mason
Date: Sat Jan 19 2013 - 04:03:37 EST


If the NTB client driver enqueues the maximum number of rx buffers, it
will not be able to re-enqueue another in its callback handler due to a
lack of free entries. This can be avoided by adding the current entry
to the free queue prior to calling the client callback handler. With
this change, ntb_netdev will no longer encounter a rx error on its first
packet.
