[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 077/217] r8169: use READ_ONCE in rtl_tx_slots_avail

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Tue Dec 22 2020 - 22:07:16 EST


From: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 95f3c5458dfa5856bb110e31d156e00d894d0134 ]

tp->dirty_tx and tp->cur_tx may be changed by a racing rtl_tx() or
rtl8169_start_xmit(). Use READ_ONCE() to annotate the races and ensure
that the compiler doesn't use cached values.
