Subject: [RFC PATCH] e100: Fix workqueue race
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 16:48:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100121164801.416170b9@linux.intel.com> (raw)

(Incidentally this doesn't seem to be the only net driver that looks
suspect here)

e100: Fix the TX workqueue race

From: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>

Nothing stops the workqueue being left to run in parallel with close or a
few other operations. This causes double unmaps and the like.

See kerneloops.org #1041230 for an example
