From 34336635467c5102777ea8acf34fc8bf391f98c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Brandeburg Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2008 15:51:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ixgb: move time stamp set before setting dma pointer a user pointed out that setting variables out of order with respect to the checks we make for tx timeout handling could result in a race where ->dma was set but ->time_stamp was set to the old value.
