From 996defd7f8b5dafc1d480b7585c7c62437f80c3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Hancock robert.hancock@calian.com Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2022 15:41:29 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] net: axienet: Fix TX ring slot available check
The check for whether a TX ring slot was available was incorrect, since a slot which had been loaded with transmit data but the device had not started transmitting would be treated as available, potentially causing non-transmitted slots to be overwritten. The control field in the descriptor should be checked, rather than the status field (which may only be updated when the device completes the entry).
