Subject: [PATCH net] bnxt_en: Remove locking around txr->dev_state
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2016 13:02:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1468872171-10009-1-git-send-email-f.fainelli@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1468626125-31732-1-git-send-email-f.fainelli@gmail.com>
txr->dev_state was not consistently manipulated with the acquisition of
the per-queue lock, after further inspection the lock does not seem
necessary, either the value is read as BNXT_DEV_STATE_CLOSING or 0.
Reported-by: coverity (CID 1339583)
Fixes: c0c050c58d840 ("bnxt_en: New Broadcom ethernet driver.")
