Subject: [PATCH] stop send queue before resetting gianfar

From: Markus Brunner <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 09:51:23 +0200

After a transmit timed out, the reset task will be called, which will free the
allocated resources(stop_gfar). If gfar_poll will be called before the
resources get allocated again gfar_clean_tx_ring will call
dev_kfree_skb_any(NULL).
This Patch calls netif_stop_queue before calling stop_gfar.
