sunvnet: Do not spin in an infinite loop when vio_ldc_send() returns EAGAIN
ldc_rx -> vnet_rx -> .. -> vnet_walk_rx->vnet_send_ack should not spin into an infinite loop waiting EAGAIN to lift. The sender could have sent us a burst, and gone to lunch without doing any more ldc_read()'s. That should not cause the receiver to loop infinitely till soft-lockup kicks in. Similarly __vnet_tx_trigger should only loop on EAGAIN a finite number of times. The caller (vnet_start_xmit()) already has code to reset the dring state and bail on errors from __vnet_tx_trigger Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com> Acked-by: Raghuram Kothakota <raghuram.kothakota@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
