Hi Chuanyu:
Apologize first for my typo in the last comment, should be a smp_mb()
here to prevent the used_flags to be checked(read) before updating the
len (writing).
smp_wmb() can only prevent re-ordering between writes.
btw. If you want you patch to be applied for David tree, you need also
cc or to netdev.
