[ Upstream commit865ad2f220] The netif_stop_queue() call in sonic_send_packet() races with the netif_wake_queue() call in sonic_interrupt(). This causes issues like "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (macsonic): transmit queue 0 timed out". Fix this by disabling interrupts when accessing tx_skb[] and next_tx. Update a comment to clarify the synchronization properties.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
