答复: [PATCH v8 12/17] net/r8169: implement Tx path

[Thomas Monjalon]

The change below is replacing 1 rte_smp_rmb with 2 calls,
so no it is not what I am asking for.
Please could you check how to not calling this function at all?

This series is already merged in the main branch,
so any new change should be submitted as a new patch.

Thank you
