[PATCH net 1/4] NTB: ntb_transport: Recycle TX entries before client callbacks
From: Koichiro Den
Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 01:35:33 EST
ntb_tx_copy_callback() invokes the client callback before returning the
entry to tx_free_q. The callback may wake a stopped client queue, only
for the next enqueue to find no local entry and return -EBUSY. The window
is narrow, but the retry is unnecessary.
Save the callback data and length, then return the entry to tx_free_q
before invoking the client. A completion callback then means both the
client buffer and transport entry are ready for reuse.
Fixes: fce8a7bb5b4b ("PCI-Express Non-Transparent Bridge Support")
