IIId. Synchronization
Most operations are synchronized on the np->lock irq spinlock, except the
-performance critical codepaths:
-
-The rx process only runs in the interrupt handler. Access from outside
-the interrupt handler is only permitted after disable_irq().
-
-The rx process usually runs under the netif_tx_lock. If np->intr_tx_reap
-is set, then access is permitted under spin_lock_irq(&np->lock).
-
-Thus configuration functions that want to access everything must call
- disable_irq(dev->irq);
- netif_tx_lock_bh(dev);
- spin_lock_irq(&np->lock);
-
-IV. Notes
-
-NatSemi PCI network controllers are very uncommon.
+recieve and transmit paths which are synchronised using a combination of
+hardware descriptor ownership, disabling interrupts and NAPI poll scheduling.
