If I'm understanding the code correctly, the TX ISR assumes that
everything between the last entry we processed (ring->r.rp) and a
certain point (cur_rp) is complete. The former index was saved during
the previous interrupt and the latter is determined via a register read.
So assuming properly synchronized interrupts (such as with PCIe MSI) and
no device-/firmware-related ordering bugs, then I think we're OK -- the
only "volatile" piece is the register read, which already embeds
volatile in the IO accessors.

Yes, I tested the later versions of this series, and I didn't see this
problem so far. I'll follow up there with my Review/Test information
eventually.

Thanks,
Brian
