[ Upstream commit 3a689e34973e8717cd57991c6fcf527dc56062b5 ] tp->dirty_tx isn't changed outside rtl_tx(). Therefore I see no need to guarantee a specific order of reading tp->dirty_tx and tp->cur_tx. Having said that we can remove the memory barrier. In addition use READ_ONCE() when reading tp->cur_tx because it can change in parallel to rtl_tx().

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.
