From: "Michael Chan" <mchan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 01:33:37 -0800 > Subject: [PATCH net] tg3: Fix tg3_get_stats64 for 5700 / 5701 devs > > From: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > > tg3_get_stats64() takes tp->lock when dealing with non-serdes bcm5700 > and bcm5701 devices. However, functions that call tg3_halt() have > already acquired tp->lock. When tg3_get_stats64() is called in > tg3_halt(), deadlock will occur. > > This patch fixes the problem by separating the stat gathering code into > a new tg3_get_nstats() function. tg3_get_stats64() is recoded to call > this function and take tp->lock. The code that takes tp->lock in > tg3_calc_crc_errors() has been removed. Function signatures have been > cleaned up too. > > Signed-off-by: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Applied, thanks everyone. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
