From b37c0fbe3f6dfba1f8ad2aed47fb40578a254635 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 02:29:06 +0000 Subject: net: Add memory barriers to prevent possible race in byte queue limits This change adds a memory barrier to the byte queue limit code to address a possible race as has been seen in the past with the netif_stop_queue/netif_wake_queue logic.
