> To recap from the original patch; although testing this driver with
> DEBUG_LOCKDEP and DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled did not produce any traces, it
> would be more prudent in the case of tx_clean_lock to use _bh versions of
> spin_[un]lock, since this lock is manipulated in both the process and softirq
> contexts.

> This patch was tested for functionality and regressions with netperf and
> DEBUG_LOCKDEP and DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled.
