Subject: [PATCH 3/3] efinet: retransmit if our device is busy
ecb9bb
ecb9bb
When I fixed the txbuf handling I ripped out the retransmission code since it
ecb9bb
was flooding our network when we had the buggy behavior.  Turns out this was too
ecb9bb
heavy handed as we can still have transient tx timeouts.  So instead make sure
ecb9bb
we retry our transmission once per timeout.  This way we can deal with transient
ecb9bb
transmission problems without flooding the box.  This fixes an issue we were
ecb9bb
seeing in production.  Thanks,
ecb9bb
