    net: axienet: Fix race condition causing TX hang · 7de44285
    Robert Hancock authored
    It is possible that the interrupt handler fires and frees up space in
    the TX ring in between checking for sufficient TX ring space and
    stopping the TX queue in axienet_start_xmit. If this happens, the
    queue wake from the interrupt handler will occur before the queue is
    stopped, causing a lost wakeup and the adapter's transmit hanging.
    
    To avoid this, after stopping the queue, check again whether there is
    sufficient space in the TX ring. If so, wake up the queue again.
