[PATCH] mac_esp: remove redundant mutual exclusion
Mutual exclusion is redundant here because all the paths in the call graph leading to esp_driver_ops.send_dma_cmd() happen under spin_lock_irqsave/ spin_lock_irqrestore. Remove it. Tested on a Mac Quadra 660av and a Mac LC 630. Signed-off-by: Finn Thain fth...@telegraphics.com.au --- Part of this patch relates to Geert's m68k generic hard irq conversion work. Under genirq, the disable_irq() in mac_esp leads to deadlock. It wasn't a problem before because the m68k disable_irq() implementation is equivalent to genirq's disable_irq_nosync(). I initially sent this to the wrong list by mistake... this is the same patch.

Re: [PATCH] mac_esp: remove redundant mutual exclusion
From: Finn Thain fth...@telegraphics.com.au Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2011 01:01:34 +1000 (EST) Mutual exclusion is redundant here because all the paths in the call graph leading to esp_driver_ops.send_dma_cmd() happen under spin_lock_irqsave/ spin_lock_irqrestore. Remove it. Tested on a Mac Quadra 660av and a Mac LC 630. Signed-off-by: Finn Thain fth...@telegraphics.com.au This patch should be CC:'d to linux-scsi not netdev I understand how the networking maintainer is very responsive and the SCSI maintainer generally takes forever, so your Freudian slip will go unjudged :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-m68k in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
