Subject: [PATCH 4/4] bnx2x: merge common code when stopping queue
Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2010 17:55:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268153703-4186-4-git-send-email-sgruszka@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1268153703-4186-3-git-send-email-sgruszka@redhat.com>
Main reason for merge code is willingness to use memory barrier to avoid
races with bnx2x_tx_int(). There is no real situation possible to
trigger the races. But if we assume that bug of not stopped and full
queue can happen, we should also stop queue then in the safe way.

I have no strong fillings that patch should be applied, if Vladislav
do not want the patch, I'll will not argue.
