bnx2x: Tx barriers and locks [Resending with the proper subject. Sorry for the mess. ] This patch is based on the RFC of Stanislaw Gruszka. More specifically it fixes two possible races: - One, described by Stanislaw, may lead to permanent disabling of the Tx queue. This is fixed by adding the smp_wmb() to propagate the BD consumer change towards the memory. - Second may lead to bnx2x_start_xmit() returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY. This is fixed by taking a tx_lock() before rechecking the number of available Tx BDs. thanks, vlad Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Vladislav Zolotarov <vladz@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
