I though it would be prudent because the queue can be non-empty even for
the case of skb=NULL. So should it be there in this patch, another patch
or not at all ?

Then maybe change return code ?

It seems strange that a validate_xmit_skb_list() failure stops the
__qdisc_run() loop but schedules another round.



It was suggested by Cong Wang to return 0 in order to stop the loop. Do you guys agree that the loop should be stopped for such failures ? Then I will put the schedule call inside the if as you proposed earlier.
