Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] gve: make nic clock reads thread safe
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 23:48:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323234829.3185051-3-hramamurthy@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323234829.3185051-1-hramamurthy@google.com>

From: Ankit Garg <nktgrg@google.com>

Add a mutex to protect the shared DMA buffer that receives NIC
timestamp reports. The NIC timestamp will be read from two different
threads: the periodic worker and upcoming `gettimex64`.
