From 24cd804d1dc60a74c53da983094df3516500c276 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:15:33 +0000 Subject: 3c59x: Remove incorrect locking; correct documented lock hierarchy vortex_ioctl() was grabbing vortex_private::lock around its call to generic_mii_ioctl(). This is no longer necessary since there are more specific locks which the mdio_{read,write}() functions will obtain. Worse, those functions do not save and restore IRQ flags when locking the MII state, so interrupts will be enabled when generic_mii_ioctl() returns. Since there is currently no need for any function to call mdio_{read,write}() while holding another spinlock, do not change them to save and restore IRQ flags but remove the specification of ordering between vortex_private::lock and vortex_private::mii_lock.
