af_packet / TX_RING not fully non-blocking (w/ MSG_DONTWAIT).
This patch fixes an issue where the send(MSG_DONTWAIT) call on a TX_RING is not fully non-blocking in cases where the device's sndBuf is full. We pass nonblock=true to sock_alloc_send_skb() and return any possibly occuring error code (most likely EGAIN) to the caller. As the fast-path stays as it is, we keep the unlikely() around skb == NULL. Signed-off-by: Mathias Kretschmer <mathias.kretschmer@fokus.fraunhofer.de> Signed-off-by: David S.
