Subject: [PATCH net 0/3 v2]tg3: synchronize_irq() should be called without taking locks

v2: Added Reported-by, Tested-by fields and reference to the thread that
    reported the problem

This series addresses the problem reported by Peter Hurley in mail thread
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/12/1082

Prashant Sreedharan (3):
  tg3_timer() should grab tp->lock before checking for tp->irq_sync
  tg3_reset_task() needs to use rtnl_lock to synchronize
  Release tp->lock before invoking synchronize_irq()

Our QA team also has validated this patch series. Thanks.
