From c82b9d7fe7464aec78210544948564ffe3bb2d2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2011 20:26:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netxen: fix race in skb->len access As soon as skb is given to hardware, TX completion can free skb under us. Therefore, we should update dev stats before kicking the device. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Amit Kumar Salecha <amit.salecha@qlogic.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
