Subject: [PATCH 3.10 02/18] mlx4_en: dont use napi_synchronize inside mlx4_en_netpoll
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 16:22:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140612232213.160395941@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140612232212.960235342@linuxfoundation.org>

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com>

commit c98235cb8584a72e95786e17d695a8e5fafcd766 upstream.

The mlx4 driver is triggering schedules while atomic inside
mlx4_en_netpoll:

	spin_lock_irqsave(&cq->lock, flags);
	napi_synchronize(&cq->napi);
		^^^^^ msleep here
	mlx4_en_process_rx_cq(dev, cq, 0);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cq->lock, flags);

This was part of a patch by Alexander Guller from Mellanox in 2011,
but it still isn't upstream.
