Subject: [PATCH 3.18 84/92] tg3: Fix race condition in tg3_get_stats64().

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Chan <michael.chan@...adcom.com>


[ Upstream commit f5992b72ebe0dde488fa8f706b887194020c66fc ]

The driver's ndo_get_stats64() method is not always called under RTNL.
So it can race with driver close or ethtool reconfigurations.  Fix the
race condition by taking tp->lock spinlock in tg3_free_consistent()
when freeing the tp->hw_stats memory block.  tg3_get_stats64() is
already taking tp->lock.
