From 70c37bf97f2a91accba76080db69144f3b69f736 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Bj=C3=B8rn=20Mork?= Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:51:28 +0000 Subject: net: usbnet: prevent buggy devices from killing us MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A device sending 0 length frames as fast as it can has been observed killing the host system due to the resulting memory pressure. Temporarily disable RX skb allocation and URB submission when the current error ratio is high, preventing us from trying to allocate an infinite number of skbs. Reenable as soon as we are finished processing the done queue, allowing the device to continue working after short error bursts.
