Do you mean I should call "netif_tx_disable" inside my "ndo_stop"
function as a fix for the racing between "ndo_stop" and
"ndo_start_xmit"?
I can't call "netif_tx_disable" inside my "ndo_stop" function because
"netif_tx_disable" will call "netif_tx_stop_queue", which causes
another racing problem. Please see my recent commit f7d9d4854519
("net: lapbether: Remove netif_start_queue / netif_stop_queue")
