From ca32723afedd65d612029705446bf44bde5eab14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Herring Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:49:23 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] net: calxedaxgmac: update ring buffer tx_head after barriers Ensure that the descriptor writes are visible before the ring buffer head is updated. Since writel is a barrier, we can simply update the head after the writel. Reported-by: Lennert Buytenhek Signed-off-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: David S.
