From 2219d5ed77e8bdc2ef1f0b79f34d2cc0be802b25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lino Sanfilippo Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2016 23:48:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: ethernet: altera: TSE: do not use tx queue lock in tx completion handler The driver already uses its private lock for synchronization between xmit and xmit completion handler making the additional use of the xmit_lock unnecessary. Furthermore the driver does not set NETIF_F_LLTX resulting in xmit to be called with the xmit_lock held and then taking the private lock while xmit completion handler does the reverse, first take the private lock, then the xmit_lock. Fix these issues by not taking the xmit_lock in the tx completion handler. Signed-off-by: Lino Sanfilippo Signed-off-by: David S.
