e1000 rx_ring[0] protection

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

 



In e1000_clean function in drivers/net/e1000_main.c file, tx_ring[0]
is protected by spin lock to prevent from being cleaned by multiple
cpus simultaneously, but rx_ring[0] is not.

Why rx_ring[0] is not protected from multiple cpus ?

Thanks
-Lal
