>Description:
Interface watchdog fires, if tx descriptor ring is not emptied for EM_TX_TIMEOUT seconds.
              
>How-To-Repeat:
              
>Fix:
Following comments in em(4) code, watchdog timer should be restarted if we process some descriptors, but current code restarts timer if no descriptors are freed (num_avail == adapter->num_tx_desc_avail)
 
  * If there are no pending descriptors, clear the timeout. Otherwise,
  * if some descriptors have been freed, restart the timeout.

It seems to be "typo" bug, this patch fixes problem for me
