Subject: net/tap: remove redundant syscall on Tx
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d3668acb7b49fad0e85faf65d42001ca654f1ed4;p=dpdk.git

net/tap: remove redundant syscall on Tx

Polling the Tx queue file descriptor before writing to it is not mandatory
since it is configured as non-blocking.
