Subject: [PATCH net-next] cxgb4: don't hold RTNL during ethtool phys_id
Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2011 17:09:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110406170929.6e427b36@nehalam> (raw)
The Chelsio cxgb4 drivers implement blinking in a unique way by
waiting on the mailbox. This patch cleans it up slightly by no longer
holding the system wide network configuration lock during the process.
The patch also uses correct semantics for the time argument
which is supposed to be in seconds; and zero is supposed
to signify infinite blinking.
This is still a bad firmware interface design for this
since it means the board is basically hung while doing the blink.
But fixing it correctly would require hardware and firmware
documentation. With that information the device could be converted
to the new set_phys_id.
Compile tested only.
