Nathan Fontenot b41b83e9a7 ibmvnic: Clean up tx pools when closing
When closing the ibmvnic driver, most notably during the reset
path, the tx pools need to be cleaned to ensure there are no
hanging skbs that need to be free'ed.

The need for this was found during debugging a loss of network
traffic after handling a driver reset. The underlying cause was
some skbs in the tx pool that were never free'ed. As a
result the upper network layers never tried a re-send since it
believed the driver still had the skb.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
