Subject: [net 3/3] e1000e: Guarantee descriptor writeback flush success.
Date: Tue,  3 Apr 2012 15:28:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1333492139-32697-4-git-send-email-jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1333492139-32697-1-git-send-email-jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

From: Matthew Vick <matthew.vick@intel.com>

In rare circumstances, a descriptor writeback flush may not work if it
arrives on a specific clock cycle as a writeback request is going out.
