Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 8/9] ice: dpll: update locking comments
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 17:40:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111164021.273409-9-ivecera@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111164021.273409-1-ivecera@redhat.com>

Callbacks run under the DPLL core domain locks instead of dpll_lock. On
E825 the TXC DPLL, the TSPLL DPLL and the other objects of a PF are in
three domains, and callbacks of pins of an external DPLL run under the
domain of that DPLL, so only pf->dplls.lock serializes them with each
other.

Reviewed-by: Petr Oros <poros@redhat.com>

Changes in v2:
- Described the three domains of an E825 PF (Sashiko)
