Since the Tx ring cleanup can run at the same time that data is being transmitted, a spin lock was used to protect the ring. This patch eliminates the need for Tx spinlocks by updating the current ring position only after all ownership bits for data being transmitted have been set. This will insure that ring operations in the Tx cleanup path do not interfere with the ring operations in the Tx transmit path. Signed-off-by:
