From 73151ce35bd6d56e61a87b2855193f82540bf3d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Cochran Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 16:00:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mv643xx_eth: fix race in trasmit path. Because the socket buffer is freed in the completion interrupt, it is not safe to access it after submitting it to the hardware.
