[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/5] net/netvsc: exhausting transmit descriptors is not an error

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin at microsoft.com>

If application sends faster than vswitch can keep up, then the
transmit descriptor pool will be exhausted. This is not a failure
so change the name statistic and don't include it in oerrors.
