From 658924dc9ae2ca8e3c46f36306f5dbd501cf4688 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2011 12:43:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] hp100: fix an skb->len race As soon as skb is given to hardware and spinlock released, TX completion can free skb under us. Therefore, we should update netdev stats before spinlock release. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
