[PATCH net v2 resend 2/4] net: renesas: rswitch: fix race window between tx start and complete

From: Nikita Yushchenko
Date: Sun Dec 08 2024 - 04:50:51 EST


If hardware is already transmitting, it can start handling the
descriptor being written to immediately after it observes updated DT
field, before the queue is kicked by a write to GWTRC.

If the start_xmit() execution is preempted at unfortunate moment, this
transmission can complete, and interrupt handled, before gq->cur gets
updated. With the current implementation of completion, this will cause
the last entry not completed.

Fix that by changing completion loop to check DT values directly, instead
of depending on gq->cur.
