From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian@huawei.com>

Currently the driver doesn't drop a packet which can't be sent by tun
(e.g bad packet). In this case, the driver will always process the
same packet lead to the tx queue stuck.

To fix this issue:
1. in the case of persistent failure (e.g bad packet), the driver
   can skip this descriptor by ignoring the error.
2. in the case of transient failure (e.g -ENOBUFS, -EAGAIN and -ENOMEM),
   the driver schedules the worker to try again.

Fixes: 3a4d5c94e959 ("vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server")

Hmm, there's the case of link being temporarily down (e.g. for
reconfigure), which IIRC returns EIO.

It's also probably a good idea to keep unlikely(err < 0) around
and then just regular err == -EAGAIN || err == -ENOMEM || err == -ENOBUFS
since that first test can be done faster.

So not making progress on a bad packet has some advantages,
e.g. this is easier to debug.
When is it important to drop the packet and continue?

I'd just drop this tag, looks more like a feature than a bug ...

In the case, the VM will not be able to send packets persistently. Services of VM
are affected.

Well VM can always harm itself right? Just halt the CPU, services will
be affected ;)

Do these two patches need to be sent separately?
