Heiner Kallweit 794867ee67 r8169: change wmb to smb_wmb in rtl8169_start_xmit
A barrier is needed here to ensure that rtl_tx sees the descriptor
changes (DescOwn set) before the updated tp->cur_tx value. Else it may
wrongly assume that the transfer has been finished already. For this
purpose smp_wmb() is sufficient.

No separate barrier is needed for ordering the descriptor changes
with the MMIO doorbell write. The needed barrier is included in
the non-relaxed writel() used by rtl8169_doorbell().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
