Subject: mlx4_en: don't use napi_synchronize inside mlx4_en_netpoll
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ad1de98b6fc6c7d04b00506e77b2aa1f7838c01;p=karo-tx-linux.git

mlx4_en: don't use napi_synchronize inside mlx4_en_netpoll

commit c98235cb8584a72e95786e17d695a8e5fafcd766 upstream.

The mlx4 driver is triggering schedules while atomic inside
mlx4_en_netpoll:

	spin_lock_irqsave(&cq->lock, flags);
	napi_synchronize(&cq->napi);
		^^^^^ msleep here
	mlx4_en_process_rx_cq(dev, cq, 0);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cq->lock, flags);

This was part of a patch by Alexander Guller from Mellanox in 2011,
but it still isn't upstream.
