[PATCH net] igc: Prevent garbled TX queue with XDP ZEROCOPY

[Florian Kauer <florian.kauer@linutronix.de>]

When the TX queue is used both by an application using
AF_XDP with ZEROCOPY as well as a second non-XDP application
generating high traffic, the queue pointers can get in
an invalid state. Most importantly, it can happen that
next_to_use points to an entry where next_to_watch != 0.

However, the implementation assumes at several places
that this is never the case, so if it does hold,
bad things happen. In particular, within the loop inside
of igc_clean_tx_irq(), next_to_clean can overtake next_to_use.
Finally, this prevents any further transmission via
this queue and it never gets unblocked or signaled.
Secondly, if the queue is in this garbled state,
the inner loop of igc_clean_tx_ring() will never terminate,
completely hogging a CPU core.

The reason is that igc_xdp_xmit_zc() reads next_to_use
before aquiring the lock, and writing it back
(potentially unmodified) later. If it got modified
before locking, the outdated next_to_use is written
pointing to an entry that was already used elsewhere
(and thus next_to_watch got written).
