Subject: [PATCH] use cond_resched() to replace udelay() when dump eeprom
Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 15:06:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1399878384-4690-1-git-send-email-acho@suse.com> (raw)

The loop in tg3_nvram_exec_cmd() will give up after about 100 msec per command,
it can loop for a long time.

For some test case , if we try to dump eeprom from tg3 interface,
what is UP but not running , NO-CARRIER (no cable), then the lock up occurs:

[<ffffffffa01def4a>] tg3_nvram_exec_cmd+0x3a/0x60 [tg3]
[<ffffffffa01e2982>] tg3_nvram_read+0x62/0x130 [tg3]
[<ffffffffa01e2a62>] tg3_nvram_read_be32+0x12/0x30 [tg3]
