Read 32 bits RX info to a local variable to fix race condition between reading RX length and RX tag. Another solution is to get RX tag at first statement, but adopted solution can save some memory read, and also save 15 bytes binary code. RX tag, a sequence number, is used to ensure that RX data has been DMA to memory completely, so driver must check sequence number is expected before reading other data. This potential problem happens only after enabling 36-bit DMA. Signed-off-by: Ping-Ke Shih <pkshih@realtek.com> Link: https://msgid.link/20240611021901.26394-2-pkshih@realtek.com
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 reStructuredText 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.
