Subject: [PATCH] 8139too: fix improper usage of workqueue
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 08:51:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080827085126.29e673db@extreme> (raw)

This driver was confused about how workqueue's work. It is save to
schedule multiple times, and the flag (bitfield) was unnecessary and racy.
The workqueue was never canceled either, so it is possible that the thread
could run after driver was removes [OOPS]. As a bonus, get rid the other
wasteful usage of bitfields.

Compile tested only, but based on some internal work done to fix reported
oops.
