In bnxt_sp_task(), we set a bit BNXT_STATE_IN_SP_TASK so that bnxt_close() will synchronize and wait for bnxt_sp_task() to finish. Some functions in bnxt_sp_task() require us to clear BNXT_STATE_IN_SP_TASK and then acquire rtnl_lock() to prevent race conditions. There are some bugs related to this logic. This patch refactors the code to have common bnxt_rtnl_lock_sp() and bnxt_rtnl_unlock_sp() to handle the RTNL and the clearing/setting of the bit. Multiple functions will need the same logic. We also need to move bnxt_reset() to the end of bnxt_sp_task(). Functions that clear BNXT_STATE_IN_SP_TASK must be the last functions to be called in bnxt_sp_task(). The common scheme will handle the condition properly. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
