Subject: [PATCH V1 net-next 2/5] net/mlx4_core: Protect port type setting by mutex
Date: Sun,  2 Nov 2014 16:26:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1414938377-421-3-git-send-email-ogerlitz@mellanox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1414938377-421-1-git-send-email-ogerlitz@mellanox.com>

From: Amir Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com>

We need to protect set_port_type() for concurrency, as the sysfs code could
call it from mutliple contexts in parallel.

The port_mutex is not enough because we need to protect from concurrent
modification of 'info' and stopping of the port sensing work.
