4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 9eab46b7cb8d0b0dcf014bf7b25e0e72b9e4d929 ] e1000_clean_tx_irq cleans buffers and sets tx_ring->next_to_clean, then e1000_xmit_frame reuses the cleaned buffers. But there are no memory barriers when buffers gets recycled, so the recycled buffers can be corrupted. Use smp_store_release to update tx_ring->next_to_clean and smp_load_acquire to read tx_ring->next_to_clean to properly hand off buffers from e1000_clean_tx_irq to e1000_xmit_frame. The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).
