[PATCH 0/3 net-2.6] bnx2x: Bug fixes in statistics handling

[Vladislav Zolotarov]

Dave, pls., consider applying the following patches to the net-2.6 tree.
They include 2 bugs fixes in the statistics handling flow:

1) Protect the statistics state machine state update with a spinlock.
Otherwise there was a race condition that would cause the statistics
stay enabled despite they were disabled in the LINK_DOWN event handler.

2) Protect statistics ramrod sending code and a statistics counter
update with a spin lock. Otherwise there was a race condition that would
allow sending a statistics ramrods with the same sequence number or with
sequence numbers not in a natural order, which would cause a FW assert.

Thanks,
vlad

All applied.

There is a space character at the beginning of every "Signed-off-by:"
line in your patch postings, please get rid of them for future
submissions.

Hmmm... No prob., will do. My git creates it this way for some reason.
Probably some configuration glitch.

Thanks again,
