[ Upstream commit ca1ab89cd2d654661f559bd83ad9fc7323cb6c86 ] We can simplify the for() condition and eliminate variable tx_left. The change also considers that tp->cur_tx may be incremented by a racing rtl8169_start_xmit(). In addition replace the write to tp->dirty_tx and the following smp_mb() with an equivalent call to smp_store_mb(). This implicitly adds a WRITE_ONCE() to the write.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
