[PATCH net 1/1] net: fec: using the standard return codes when xdp xmit errors

[PATCH net 1/1] net: fec: using the standard return codes when xdp xmit errors

[Shenwei Wang]

The existing logic did not properly handle unsuccessful xdp xmit frames,
this patch revises the logic to return standard error codes (-EBUSY or
-ENOMEM) on unsuccessful transmit.

Start the xmit of the frame immediately right after configuring the
tx descriptors.

Hi Shenwei,

I'm not sure that changing the calling convention is the fix here.
The caller seems to get it right both before and after this part
of this patch change. So this seems to be a cleanup rather than a fix.

This is the money part of this change. I think it warrants more
explanation.

If there are two changes to be made, they probably belong in two
patches.

I think this tag should be:

Fixes: 26312c685ae0 ("net: fec: correct the counting of XDP sent frames")
