Hi Eric,

Can you please test this patch, if it solves the issue you reported?

Overall logic in the KNI looks good to me, this helps to serialize the requests
even for async ones.

But can you please clarify how it behaves in the kernel side with '-EAGAIN'
return type? Will linux call the ndo again, or will it just fail.

If it just fails should we handle the re-try on '-EAGAIN' within the kni module?
