Subject: [PATCH 1/5] sky2: Avoid race in sky2_change_mtu
Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 08:16:31 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BEB36CF.70001@ring3k.org> (raw)

netif_stop_queue does not ensure all in-progress transmits are complete,
 so use netif_tx_disable() instead.

Secondly, make sure NAPI polls are disabled before stopping the tx queue,
 otherwise sky2_status_intr might trigger a TX queue wakeup between when
 we stop the queue and NAPI is disabled.
