[PATCH net 1/5] dwc_eth_qos: fix race condition in dwceqos_start_xmit
From: Lars Persson
Date: Mon Feb 29 2016 - 10:23:47 EST
From: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@xxxxxxxx>
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.
