Subject: [PATCH 2.6.18 1/3] tg3: Remove unnecessary tx_lock
Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 12:47:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1149536843.13155.6.camel@rh4> (raw)
Remove tx_lock where it is unnecessary. tg3 runs lockless and so it
requires interrupts to be disabled and sync'ed, netif_queue and NAPI
poll to be stopped before the device can be reconfigured. After
stopping everything, it is no longer necessary to get the tx_lock.
