It is a much faster way to get rid of packets waiting for an overwhelmed guest. The first patch changes current netback code where it relies currently on netif_carrier_ok. The second turns off the carrier if the guest times out on a queue, and only turn it on again if that queue (or queues) resurrects. ==================== Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: David S.
