Subject: netxen: hold tx lock while sending firmware commands
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=03e678ee968ae54b79c1580c2935895bd863ad95;p=linux-beck.git

netxen: hold tx lock while sending firmware commands

Some firmware commands like mac address addition/deletion are sent
on the transmit ring. So need to hold the tx lock before touching
tx producer/consumer indices.
