[ Upstream commit 3c603136c9f82833813af77185618de5af67676c ]
We can't take the tx lock from the napi poll routine, because
netpoll can poll napi at any moment, including with the tx lock
already held.
The tx lock is protecting against two paths - the disable
path, and (as Michael points out) the NETDEV_TX_BUSY case
which may occur if NAPI completions race with start_xmit
and both decide to re-enable the queue.
For the disable/ifdown path use synchronize_net() to make sure
closing the device does not race we restarting the queues.
Annotate accesses to dev_state against data races.
For the NAPI cleanup vs start_xmit path - appropriate barriers
are already in place in the main spot where Tx queue is stopped
but we need to do the same careful dance in the TX_BUSY case.

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.
