net: fec: fix the race between xmit and bdp reclaiming path When we transmit a fragmented skb, we may run into a race like the following scenario (assume txq->cur_tx is next to txq->dirty_tx): cpu 0 cpu 1 fec_enet_txq_submit_skb reserve a bdp for the first fragment fec_enet_txq_submit_frag_skb update the bdp for the other fragment update txq->cur_tx fec_enet_tx_queue bdp = fec_enet_get_nextdesc(txq->dirty_tx, fep, queue_id); This bdp is the bdp reserved for the first segment. Given that this bdp BD_ENET_TX_READY bit is not set and txq->cur_tx is already pointed to a bdp beyond this one. We think this is a completed bdp and try to reclaim it. update the bdp for the first segment update txq->cur_tx So we shouldn't update the txq->cur_tx until all the update to the bdps used for fragments are performed. Also add the corresponding memory barrier to guarantee that the update to the bdps, dirty_tx and cur_tx performed in the proper order.
