In do_tx(), skb->data is mapped to streaming DMA on line 1111: paddr = dma_map_single(...,skb->data,DMA_TO_DEVICE); Then skb->data is accessed on line 1153: (skb->data[3] & 0xf) This access may cause data inconsistency between CPU cache and hardware. To fix this problem, skb->data[3] is assigned to a local variable before DMA mapping, and then the driver accesses this local variable instead of skb->data[3].

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.
