You don't need a full mb(). virt_wmb() should be sufficient.

Could I suggest an alternative approach.
You don't need to introduce a local tx_disable flag, the only place where a wakeup
could cause problems is after a send_completion was processed during detach state.

Instead, just avoid wakeup in that place.
