From d344bff9c36db17dc4765215495aaa7212c1eb6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dale Farnsworth Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 09:52:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mv643xx_eth: Fix race condition in mv643xx_eth_free_tx_descs mv643xx_eth: Fix race condition in mv643xx_eth_free_tx_descs This bug was found and isolated by Thibaut VARENE and Jarek Poplawski . This patch is a modification of their fixes. We acquire and release the lock for each descriptor that is freed to minimize the time the lock is held.
