Subject: [PATCH 1/1] e1000e:  stop cleaning when we reach tx_ring->next_to_use
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 14:01:52 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BB3AA30.3060906@hp.com> (raw)

Tx ring buffers after tx_ring->next_to_use are volatile and could
change, possibly causing a crash.  Stop cleaning when we hit
tx_ring->next_to_use.
