When accessing shared memory to check for the stat of submitted descriptors, make sure to use READ_ONCE(). This will guarantee the compiler treats these memory locations as volatile and doesn't apply any caching. While this doesn't fix any particular problem I ran into, it's best practice to do it this way. Note that this patch also removes the superflous extra condition check in the do-while loop in reap_tx_dxes(), as the loop will break instantly anyway in that case.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
