The mvpp2_txq_bufs_free() function is called upon TX completion to DMA unmap TX buffers, and free the corresponding SKBs. It gets the references to the SKB to free and the DMA buffer to unmap from a per-CPU txq_pcpu data structure. However, the code currently increments the pointer to the next entry before doing the DMA unmap and freeing the SKB. It does not cause any visible problem because for a given SKB the TX completion is guaranteed to take place on the CPU where the TX was started. However, it is much more logical to increment the pointer to the next entry once the current entry has been completely unmapped/released.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
