The write side of drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c is:
==================
   4251         /* rtl_tx needs to see descriptor changes before updated tp->cur_tx */
   4252         smp_wmb();
   4253
 → 4254         WRITE_ONCE(tp->cur_tx, tp->cur_tx + frags + 1);
   4255
   4256         stop_queue = !netif_subqueue_maybe_stop(dev, 0, rtl_tx_slots_avail(tp),
   4257                                                 R8169_TX_STOP_THRS,

The read side is the function rtl_tx():

   4355 static void rtl_tx(struct net_device *dev, struct rtl8169_private *tp,
   4356                    int budget)
   4357 {
   4358         unsigned int dirty_tx, bytes_compl = 0, pkts_compl = 0;
   4359         struct sk_buff *skb;
   4360
   4361         dirty_tx = tp->dirty_tx;
   4362
   4363         while (READ_ONCE(tp->cur_tx) != dirty_tx) {
   4364                 unsigned int entry = dirty_tx % NUM_TX_DESC;
   4365                 u32 status;
   4366
   4367                 status = le32_to_cpu(tp->TxDescArray[entry].opts1);
   4368                 if (status & DescOwn)
   4369                         break;
   4370
   4371                 skb = tp->tx_skb[entry].skb;
   4372                 rtl8169_unmap_tx_skb(tp, entry);
   4373
   4374                 if (skb) {
   4375                         pkts_compl++;
   4376                         bytes_compl += skb->len;
   4377                         napi_consume_skb(skb, budget);
   4378                 }
   4379                 dirty_tx++;
   4380         }
   4381
   4382         if (tp->dirty_tx != dirty_tx) {
   4383                 dev_sw_netstats_tx_add(dev, pkts_compl, bytes_compl);
   4384                 WRITE_ONCE(tp->dirty_tx, dirty_tx);
   4385
   4386                 netif_subqueue_completed_wake(dev, 0, pkts_compl, bytes_compl,
   4387                                               rtl_tx_slots_avail(tp),
   4388                                               R8169_TX_START_THRS);
   4389                 /*

 → 4397                 if (tp->cur_tx != dirty_tx && skb)
   4398                         rtl8169_doorbell(tp);
   4399         }
   4400 }

Obviously from the code, an earlier detected data-race for tp->cur_tx was fixed in the
line 4363:

   4363         while (READ_ONCE(tp->cur_tx) != dirty_tx) {

but the same solution is required for protecting the other access to tp->cur_tx:

 → 4397                 if (READ_ONCE(tp->cur_tx) != dirty_tx && skb)
   4398                         rtl8169_doorbell(tp);

The write in the line 4254 is protected with WRITE_ONCE(), but the read in the line 4397
might have suffered read tearing under some compiler optimisations.

The fix eliminated the KCSAN data-race report for this bug.

It is yet to be evaluated what happens if tp->cur_tx changes between the test in line 4363
and line 4397. This test should certainly not be cached by the compiler in some register
for such a long time, while asynchronous writes to tp->cur_tx might have occurred in line
4254 in the meantime.
