Hi Alok,

I think this patch isn't needed. gve_tx_add_skb_dqo() is only called
after checking gve_maybe_stop_tx_dqo(), which checks that
gve_alloc_pending_packet() will not return NULL.


Thank you for the clarification,

Even so, I felt it could be a bit misleading for developers and tools. But if you believe the patch isn't required,I completely understand.
In that case, I kindly request you to provide your NACK on the [PATCH net v2] mail thread for formal tracking,
so that other developers can also be aware of the reasoning and understand the context.

Appreciate your time and feedback!


Thanks,
Alok
