From 8afb6c474b0dd8f9cf7e122a19c71924566fdb97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rabin Vincent Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:22:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dwc_eth_qos: fix race condition in dwceqos_start_xmit The xmit handler and the tx_reclaim tasklet had a race on the tx_free variable which could lead to a tx timeout if tx_free was updated after the tx complete interrupt.
