Currently, the igc driver supports timestamping only one tx packet at a
time. During the transmission flow, the skb that requires hardware
timestamping is saved in adapter->ptp_tx_skb. Once hardware has the
timestamp, an interrupt is delivered, and adapter->ptp_tx_work is
scheduled. In igc_ptp_tx_work(), we read the timestamp register, update
adapter->ptp_tx_skb, and notify the network stack.
While the thread executing the transmission flow (the user process
running in kernel mode) and the thread executing ptp_tx_work don't
access adapter->ptp_tx_skb concurrently, there are two other places
where adapter->ptp_tx_skb is accessed: igc_ptp_tx_hang() and
igc_ptp_suspend().
igc_ptp_tx_hang() is executed by the adapter->watchdog_task worker
thread which runs periodically so it is possible we have two threads
accessing ptp_tx_skb at the same time. Consider the following scenario:
right after __IGC_PTP_TX_IN_PROGRESS is set in igc_xmit_frame_ring(),
igc_ptp_tx_hang() is executed. Since adapter->ptp_tx_start hasn't been
written yet, this is considered a timeout and adapter->ptp_tx_skb is
cleaned up.
This patch fixes the issue described above by adding the ptp_tx_lock to
protect access to ptp_tx_skb and ptp_tx_start fields from igc_adapter.
Since igc_xmit_frame_ring() called in atomic context by the networking
stack, ptp_tx_lock is defined as a spinlock, and the irq safe variants
of lock/unlock are used.
With the introduction of the ptp_tx_lock, the __IGC_PTP_TX_IN_PROGRESS
flag doesn't provide much of a use anymore so this patch gets rid of it.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
