BTW, I just fixed the issue. It appears that inline patches can get
messed up in replies.

+From: Prasad J Pandit <ppandit@redhat.com>
+
+RTL8139 ethernet controller in C+ mode supports multiple
+descriptor rings, each with maximum of 64 descriptors. While
+processing transmit descriptor ring in 'rtl8139_cplus_transmit',
+it does not limit the descriptor count and runs forever. Add
+check to avoid it.
