The previous patch to support PTP Sync packet one-step timestamping
described one-step timestamping packet handling logic as below in
commit message:
- Trasmit packet immediately if no other one in transfer, or queue to
skb queue if there is already one in transfer.
The test_and_set_bit_lock() is used here to lock and check state.
- Start a work when complete transfer on hardware, to release the bit
lock and to send one skb in skb queue if has.
There was not problem of the description, but there was a mistake in
implementation. The locking/test_and_set_bit_lock() should be put in
enetc_start_xmit() which may be called by worker, rather than in
enetc_xmit(). Otherwise, the worker calling enetc_start_xmit() after
bit lock released is not able to lock again for transfer.

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.
