Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] net: mvneta: Fix spinlock usage
Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 13:57:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457441826-6100-2-git-send-email-gregory.clement@free-electrons.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1457441826-6100-1-git-send-email-gregory.clement@free-electrons.com>
In the previous patch, the spinlock was not initialized. While it didn't
cause any trouble yet it could be a problem to use it uninitialized.
The most annoying part was the critical section protected by the spinlock
in mvneta_stop(). Some of the functions could sleep as pointed when
activated CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP. Actually, in mvneta_stop() we only
need to protect the is_stopped flagged, indeed the code of the notifier
for CPU online is protected by the same spinlock, so when we get the
lock, the notifer work is done.
