Hi Wang Ming,

If this fixes a bug then it probably warrants a fixes tag.
And it should also probably be targeted at the next tree:

	[PATCH net v2] ...

If so, please allow 24h to elapse before posting v2.

Else it should be targeted at the net-next tree,
and posted after net-next reopens after July 10th:

	[PATCH net-next v2] ...

Also, looking at git history, I think a more appropriate subject prefix
would be 'net: thunderx: '

	[PATCH net v2] net: thunderx: ...

Should this change also apply to the 'goto defer' case in the same loop?
If so, perhaps a more idiomatic approach of releasing resources
in a ladder of goto labels is appropriate. Something like this (untested!):
