With .ndo_set_rx_mode/temac_set_multicast_list() being called in atomic context (holding addr_list_lock), and temac_set_multicast_list() needing to access temac indirect registers, the mutex used to synchronize indirect register is a no-no. Replace it with a spinlock, and avoid sleeping in temac_indirect_busywait(). To avoid excessive holding of the lock, which is now a spinlock, the temac_device_reset() function is changed to only hold the lock for short periods. With timeouts, it could be holding the spinlock for more than 2 seconds. Signed-off-by: Esben Haabendal <esben@geanix.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
