[PATCH net-next 1/2] net: mvneta: add xmit_more support

From: Marcin Wojtas
Date: Tue Sep 13 2016 - 03:01:43 EST


From: Simon Guinot <simon.guinot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Basing on xmit_more flag of the skb, TX descriptors can be concatenated
before flushing. This commit delay Tx descriptor flush if the queue is
running and if there is more skb's to send.
