Currently, the driver knocks the ring doorbell before updating
the ring->last_to_use in tx flow. if the hardware transmiting
packet and napi poll scheduling are fast enough, it may get
the old ring->last_to_use in drivers' napi poll.
In this case, the driver will think the tx is not completed, and
return directly without clear the flag __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF,
which may cause tx timeout.

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.
