[PATCH] skge: dont free skb until multi-part transmit complete

Browse source

Don't free transmit buffers until the whole set of transmit descriptors
has been marked as done.  Otherwise, we risk freeing a skb before the
whole transmit is done.

This changes the transmit completion handling from incremental to a
two pass algorithm. First pass scans and records the start of the last
done descriptor, second cleans up until that point.
