[PATCH 4.9 32/33] nfp: TX time stamp packets before HW doorbell is rung

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri May 18 2018 - 03:26:07 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 46f1c52e66dbc0d7a99f7c2a3c9debb497fe7b7b upstream.

TX completion may happen any time after HW queue was kicked.
We can't access the skb afterwards. Move the time stamping
before ringing the doorbell.
