[ Upstream commit de0337d641bfa5b6d6b489e479792f1039274e84 ]
The TSO path called ionic_tx_map_skb() before preparing the TCP pseudo checksum (ionic_tx_tcp_[inner_]pseudo_csum()), which may perform skb_cow_head() and might modifies bytes in the linear header area.
Mapping first and then mutating the header risks: - Using a stale DMA address if skb_cow_head() relocates the head, and/or - Device reading stale header bytes on weakly-ordered systems (CPU writes after mapping are not guaranteed visible without an explicit dma_sync_single_for_device()).
Reorder the TX path to perform all header mutations (including skb_cow_head()) *before* DMA mapping. Mapping is now done only after the skb layout and header contents are final. This removes the need for any post-mapping dma_sync and prevents on-wire corruption observed under VLAN+TSO load after repeated runs.
This change is purely an ordering fix; no functional behavior change otherwise.
