Yes, I believe so. I'm not sure about 6.x and 7.x. What I caught red-handed was that the final DATA toggle value was not properly written back to the queue head at the time the last TD was not active. The data toggle only has two values 0 or 1, so there is a 50% chance it will cause a timeout when the race happens. > Some of > the PRs date back to 6.x and 7.x - if I'm understanding the change > properly, it seems that it is possible that this could be the cause?
