[PATCH v2 net-next 5/9] sunvnet: add memory barrier before check for tx enable

From: Shannon Nelson <hidden>
Date: 2017-02-07 22:17:42
Also in: lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

In order to allow the underlying LDC and outstanding memory operations
to potentially catch up with the driver's Tx requests, add a memory
barrier before checking again for available tx descriptors.
