In p54p_tx(), skb->data is mapped to streaming DMA on line 337: mapping = pci_map_single(..., skb->data, ...); Then skb->data is accessed on line 349: desc->device_addr = ((struct p54_hdr *)skb->data)->req_id; This access may cause data inconsistency between CPU cache and hardware. To fix this problem, ((struct p54_hdr *)skb->data)->req_id is stored in a local variable before DMA mapping, and then the driver accesses this local variable instead of skb->data.
