From: Santosh Nayak <santoshprasadnayak@xxxxxxxxx> In 'ql_adapter_initialize' the first call for 'spin_unlock_irqrestore()' is with hw_flags = 0, which is as good as 'spin_unlock_irq()' (unconditional interrupt enabling). If this is intended, then for better performance 'spin_unlock_irqrestore()' can be replaced with 'spin_unlock_irq()' and 'spin_lock_irqsave()' can be replaced by 'spin_lock_irq() Signed-off-by: Santosh Nayak <santoshprasadnayak@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c | 5 ++--- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c index d49f6da..8da3e41 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c @@ -3017,7 +3017,6 @@ static int ql_adapter_initialize(struct ql3_adapter *qdev) (void __iomem *)port_regs; u32 delay = 10; int status = 0; - unsigned long hw_flags = 0; if (ql_mii_setup(qdev)) return -1; @@ -3228,9 +3227,9 @@ static int ql_adapter_initialize(struct ql3_adapter *qdev) value = ql_read_page0_reg(qdev, &port_regs->portStatus); if (value & PORT_STATUS_IC) break; - spin_unlock_irqrestore(&qdev->hw_lock, hw_flags); + spin_unlock_irq(&qdev->hw_lock); msleep(500); - spin_lock_irqsave(&qdev->hw_lock, hw_flags); + spin_lock_irq(&qdev->hw_lock); } while (--delay); if (delay == 0) { -- 1.7.4.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
