Subject: [PATCH] hp100: fix an skb->len race
Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2011 00:43:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1308523413.3539.97.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110619.120536.1593516819440469613.davem@davemloft.net>

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.
