bug in bge driver with ENOBUFS on 4.7

2002-11-09 Thread Don Bowman
In bge_rxeof(), there can end up being a condition which causes the driver to endlessly interrupt. if (bge_newbuf_std(sc, sc->bge_std, NULL) == ENOBUFS) { ifp->if_ierrors++; bge_newbuf_std(sc, sc->bge_std, m); continue; } happens. Now, bge_newbuf_std returns ENOBUFS. 'm' is also NULL.
