I am aware you object to storing extra state, but I can't see a way around this. Without remembering that we're restarting, netif_wake_queue() is called in the ISR from sky2_tx_complete(), and netif_tx_lock() is used in sky2_tx_done(). If anybody can see a way around this, please let me know.
Stephen please do something about this, soon. Michael has been trying to get this fixed for more than a month, and if you don't have a better fix like right now then we should put his fix in for the time being. Sky2 patches are ones that consistently rot in patchwork and I'd appreciate if it that trend would cease, thanks.
