> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-net 1/4] igb: narrow scope of vfs_lock 
> in SR-
> IOV cleanup
> 
> The adapter->vfs_lock currently protects critical sections shared between
> igb_disable_sriov() and igb_msg_task(). Since igb_msg_task() — which is 
> invoked
> solely by the igb_msix_other() ISR—only proceeds when
> adapter->vfs_allocated_count > 0, we can reduce the lock scope further.
> 
> By moving the assignment adapter->vfs_allocated_count = 0 to the start of the
> cleanup code in igb_disable_sriov(), we can restrict the spinlock protection 
> solely
> to this assignment. This change removes kfree() calls from within the locked
> section, simplifying lock management.
> 
> Once kfree() is outside the vfs_lock scope, it becomes possible to safely 
> convert
> vfs_lock to a raw_spin_lock.
