Hi!

There is a potential data race in drivers/net/ethernet/sis/sis190.ko.

Regard such situation:

CPU 1 				CPU 2

...
->sis190_open
- registers interrupts
...
->sis190_tx_timeout
- is called at some point
    ->sis190_tx_clear
       skb = tp->Tx_skbuff[i]
       [skb != null]

                an interrupt comes to CPU 2

				-> sis190_irq
				  -> sis190_tx_interrupt
				    skb = tp->Tx_skbuff[entry];
       ...
       -> dev_kfree_skb_irq(skb)
         ->dev_kfree_skb(skb)

In this case the skb is freed twice. Likely, in the interrupt handler 
the same spinlock should be acquired as in
sis190_tx_timeout.
