From 0d8ab54a4119880bb9cb4680da1f5e9068d0d333 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avinash Dayanand Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 16:04:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] i40e: Correcting mutex usage in client code Correcting the mutex usage, in client_subtask(), mutex_unlock has to be called just before client_del_instance() since this function opens and later closes the same mutex again. Similarly in client_is_registered removing the mutex since it closes the mutex twice. This is a patch suggested by RDMA team.
