From ffd342e087d5c56882c232f6a1812b5e3d89b37b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Poirier Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2019 10:42:18 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] be2net: Synchronize be_update_queues with dev_watchdog As pointed out by Firo Yang, a netdev tx timeout may trigger just before an ethtool set_channels operation is started. be_tx_timeout(), which dumps some queue structures, is not written to run concurrently with be_update_queues(), which frees/allocates those queues structures. Add some synchronization between the two. Message-id: Signed-off-by: Benjamin Poirier Signed-off-by: David S.
