Linux kernel source tree
8b3fae3e23
Add __netif_tx_lock() to ensure that only one packet is being
transmitted at a time to avoid race conditions in the netif_txq
struct and prevent packet data corruption. Failing to do so causes
kernel panic with the following error:
[ 2184.746764] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 2184.751412] kernel BUG at lib/dynamic_queue_limits.c:99!
[ 2184.756728] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 00000000f2000800 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
logs: https://gist.github.com/MeghanaMalladiTI/9c7aa5fc3b7fb03f87c74aad487956e9
The lock is acquired before calling emac_xmit_xdp_frame() and released after the
call returns. This ensures that the TX queue is protected from concurrent access
during the transmission of XDP frames.

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 reStructuredText 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.
