From b5ca88eb335580dc48ef5ebb3b86719bdb5a4113 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Brandeburg Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2008 15:51:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ixgb: fix race on rx_buffer_len in mtu change some random coverage testing found that when changing mtu under heavy traffic load, NAPI would use the rx_buffer_len variable after it had been changed by change_mtu. Similar to e1000 bugs found long ago.
