Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2014 23:08:47 -0700 From: Michael Chan <mchan@...adcom.com> To: <davem@...emloft.net> CC: <netdev@...r.kernel.org>, <nhorman@...driver.com>, Michael Chan <mchan@...adcom.com> Subject: [PATCH 2/3 v2] cnic: Don't take cnic_dev_lock in cnic_alloc_uio_rings() We are allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL under spinlock. Since this is the only call manipulating the cnic_udev_list and it is always under rtnl_lock, cnic_dev_lock can be safely removed.
