[PATCH 4.5 048/124] net: mvneta: Fix spinlock usage

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Apr 17 2016 - 22:31:56 EST


4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gregory CLEMENT <gregory.clement@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 1c2722a975fdb8c90bc6ba8570b7fb62db4e2e9c ]

In the previous patch, the spinlock was not initialized. While it didn't
cause any trouble yet it could be a problem to use it uninitialized.

The most annoying part was the critical section protected by the spinlock
in mvneta_stop(). Some of the functions could sleep as pointed when
activated CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP. Actually, in mvneta_stop() we only
need to protect the is_stopped flagged, indeed the code of the notifier
for CPU online is protected by the same spinlock, so when we get the
lock, the notifer work is done.
