commit a9e79b116cc4d0057e912be8f40b2c2e5bdc7c43 upstream.
This change fix the TX ack mechanism in various ways:
- For NO_ACK tagged packets, we don't need to wait for TX_ACK indication
and so are not subject to the single packet ack limitation. So we don't
have to stop the tx queue, and can call the tx status callback as soon
as DMA transfer has completed.
- Fix skb ownership/reference. Only start status indication timeout
once the DMA transfer has been completed. This avoids the skb to be
both referenced in the DMA tx ring and by the tx_ack_skb pointer,
preventing any use-after-free or double-free.
- This adds a sanity (paranoia?) check on the skb tx ack pointer.
- Resume TX queue if TX status tagged packet TX fails.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
