There are a number of flags used in the IPA driver to attempt to manage race conditions that can occur between runtime resume and netdev transmit. If we disable TX before requesting power, we can avoid these races entirely, simplifying things considerably. This patch implements the main change, disabling transmit always in the net_device->ndo_start_xmit() callback, then re-enabling it again whenever we find power is active (or when we drop the skb). The patches that follow will refactor the "old" code to the point that most of it can be eliminated.

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.
