Subject: [PATCH (net.git)] stmmac: fix and review whole driver locking
This patch is to fix/review the whole lock protection inside the driver.
Proving locks several warning were detected.
The patch reviews the tx lock removing it because the driver
claims the resource in NAPI context and, as designed, can run
w/o any own extra lock (so just netif_tx_lock).
This shows an impact on performances too.
Then the patch removes useless lock in set_filter and resume
functions.
It finally fixes the concurrency in eee initialization.
Prior this patch, the stmmac_eee_init could be called
in several places as shown below:
stmmac_open stmmac_resume PHY Layer
| | |
|___stmmac_hw_setup ___| stmmac_adjust_link
| |
|_________________ stmmac_eee_init ___________|
The patch tries to solve problem just removing the stmmac_eee_init
call inside the stmmac_hw_setup that is unnecessary. It is sufficient
to call it in the stmmac_adjust_link to always guarantee that the EEE
is configured. In fact, after the new link is adjusted then the driver
can check the EEE capability and then eventually enable it at MAC level.
Always on the adjust link, this patch removes the disable irq when
not necessary because it should be just called by phy_change.
