[PATCH] net: renesas: sh_eth: Fix freeing wrong tx descriptor

From: Yoshihiro Shimoda <yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@renesas.com>
Date: 2021-09-07 11:30:22
Also in: linux-renesas-soc
Subsystem: networking drivers, renesas superh ethernet driver, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Niklas Söderlund, Linus Torvalds

The cur_tx counter must be incremented after TACT bit of
txdesc->status was set. However, a CPU is possible to reorder
instructions and/or memory accesses between cur_tx and
txdesc->status. And then, if TX interrupt happened at such a
timing, the sh_eth_tx_free() may free the descriptor wrongly.
So, add wmb() before cur_tx++.
Otherwise NETDEV WATCHDOG timeout is possible to happen.
