> Can you review below patch that also fix the issue. It can take much effort due to less rmb() and READ_ONCE() operation that is very sensitive for duplex Gbps test for i.MX6SX/i.MX7d SOC. (i.MX6SX can reach at 1.4Gbps, i.MX7D can reach at 1.8Gbps.)



If  "READ_ONCE(bdp->cbd_sc)" is really that expensive, then you should skip the 1st read as well and
only do it after skb presence is verified. But some numbers would really help sell the patch.
Also, I comment as to why the code is reorganized would be warranted
