From 2eb3e621c4e07e9e7200dbb66f0433b4caafb8e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:16:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] skge: set mac address bonding fix When bonding does fail over it calls set_mac_address. When this happens as the result of another port going down, the phy_mutex that is common to both ports is held, so it deadlocks. Setting the address doesn't need to do anything that needs the phy_mutex, it already has the RTNL to protect against other admin actions. This change just disables the receiver to avoid any hardware confusion while address is changing. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik --- Reading git-format-patch failed
