From c6e36d8c1a76be7a7afa2669483857dadec1e99c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuval Mintz Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2015 15:08:18 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: Move statistics implementation into semaphores Commit dff173de84958 ("bnx2x: Fix statistics locking scheme") changed the bnx2x locking around statistics state into using a mutex - but the lock is being accessed via a timer which is forbidden. [If compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES, logs show a warning about accessing the mutex in interrupt context] This moves the implementation into using a semaphore [with size '1'] instead.
