[PATCH] mac_esp: remove redundant mutual exclusion

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

 



Mutual exclusion is redundant here because all the paths in the call graph 
leading to esp_driver_ops.send_dma_cmd() happen under spin_lock_irqsave/ 
spin_lock_irqrestore. Remove it.

Tested on a Mac Quadra 660av and a Mac LC 630.

Part of this patch relates to Geert's m68k generic hard irq conversion 
work. Under genirq, the disable_irq() in mac_esp leads to deadlock. It 
wasn't a problem before because the m68k disable_irq() implementation is 
equivalent to genirq's disable_irq_nosync().

I initially sent this to the wrong list by mistake... this is the same 
patch.
