[ Upstream commit 41294e6a434d4f19e957c55b275ea0324f275009 ] Improve the following in rtl8169_start_xmit: - tp->cur_tx can be accessed in parallel by rtl_tx(), therefore annotate the race by using WRITE_ONCE - avoid checking stop_queue a second time by moving the doorbell check - netif_stop_queue() uses atomic operation set_bit() that includes a full memory barrier on some platforms, therefore use smp_mb__after_atomic to avoid overhead Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/80085451-3eaf-507a-c7c0-08d607c46fbc@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Stable-dep-of: c71e3a5cffd5 ("r8169: Fix possible ring buffer corruption on fragmented Tx packets.")

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.
