[PATCH 4.9 175/175] net: renesas: sh_eth: Fix freeing wrong tx descriptor

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

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

From: Yoshihiro Shimoda <yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@renesas.com>

[ Upstream commit 0341d5e3d1ee2a36dd5a49b5bef2ce4ad1cfa6b4 ]

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.
