From 1cf167f27ad2720af11ee8aa350009342f909e70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eilon Greenstein Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 21:22:18 -0800 Subject: bnx2x: Using singlethread work queue Since slow-path events, including link update, are handled in work-queue, a race condition was introduced in the self-test that sometimes caused the link status to fail: the self-test was running under RTNL lock, and if the link-watch was scheduled it stoped the shared work-queue (waiting for the RTNL lock) and so the link update event was not handled until the self-test ended (releasing the RTNL lock) with failure (since the link status was not updated) Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein Signed-off-by: David S.
