PATCH 1/1 ucc_geth: Fix full TX queue processing
From: Jiajun Wu <[email protected]>
commit 7583605b6d29f1f7f6fc505b883328089f3485ad ("ucc_geth: Fix empty TX queue processing") fixed empty TX queue mishandling, but didn't account another corner case: when TX queue becomes full.
Without this patch the driver will stop transmiting when TX queue becomes full since 'bd == ugeth->txBd[txQ]' actually checks for two things: queue empty or full.
Let's better check for NULL skb, which unambiguously signals an empty queue.

Yes,'if (!skb)' is enough.
You can reproduce transmitting stopping if you use 'if ((bd == ugeth->txBd[txQ])' and run ipforwarding with MTU=64 1Gbps 100%linerate.
OK, let's resend the patch with just !skb check?
