[PATCH net-next 10/10] hv_netvsc: remove locking in netvsc_send()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx>

Packet scheduler guarantees there won't be multiple senders for the same
queue and as we use q_idx for multi_send_data the spinlock is redundant.
