-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Michal Schmidt upstream commit: d119b3927994e3d620d6adb0dd1ea6bf24427875 The BUG_ON(skge->tx_ring.to_use != skge->tx_ring.to_clean) in skge_up() was sometimes observed when setting MTU. skge_down() disables the TX queue, but then reenables it by mistake via skge_tx_clean(). Fix it by moving the waking of the queue from skge_tx_clean() to the other caller. And to make sure start_xmit is not in progress on another CPU, skge_down() should call netif_tx_disable(). The bug was reported to me by Jiri Jilek whose Debian system sometimes failed to boot. He tested the patch and the bug did not happen anymore.
