From ddf8bd349115c2bc85a62e3d94018c9976ac72f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Moni Shoua Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2014 15:13:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] IB/mlx4: Do IBoE locking earlier when initializing the GID table Updating the GID table under IBoE requires read/write from/to shared data structures. These data structures are protected with the device iboe lock. The flows that modify the GID table start from 1. Initializing the GID table 2. NETDEV events 3. INET or INET6 events This patch makes sure that the flow of initializing the GID table is consistent with the other two flows w.r.t on what step the lock is taken.
