After failing to allocate a receive buffer the driver may fail to ever request additional allocations. EF10 NICs require new receive buffers to be pushed in batches of eight or more. The test for whether a slow fill should be scheduled failed to take account of this. There is little downside to *always* requesting a slow fill if we failed to allocate a buffer, so the condition has been removed completely. The timer that triggers the request for a refill has also been shortened.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
