From ba53e6b4878e07411826312c59bfe49561594b6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dhananjay Phadke Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:59:50 -0700 Subject: netxen: remove low level tx lock o eliminate tx lock in netxen adapter struct, instead pound on netdev tx lock appropriately. o remove old "concurrent transmit" code that unnecessarily drops and reacquires tx lock in hard_xmit_frame(), this is already serialized the netdev xmit lock. o reduce scope of tx lock in tx cleanup. tx cleanup operates on different section of the ring than transmitting cpus and is guarded by producer and consumer indices. This fixes a race caused by rx softirq preemption on realtime kernels.
