Currently the driver attempts to wake the Tx queue for every descriptor processed. However, this is overkill and can cause thrashing since Tx xmit can be running concurrently on a different CPU than Tx clean. Fix this by refactoring Tx cq servicing into its own function so the Tx wake code can run after processing all Tx descriptors. The driver isn't using the expected memory barriers to make sure the stop/start bits are coherent. Fix this by making sure to use the correct memory barriers. Also, the driver is using the wake API during Tx xmit even though it's already scheduled. Fix this by using the start API during Tx xmit.

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.
