[PATCH net-next 7/9] net: bcmgenet: relax lock constraints to reduce IRQ latency

From: Doug Berger
Date: Wed Oct 25 2017 - 18:05:44 EST


Since the ring locks are not used in a hard IRQ context it is often
not necessary to disable global IRQs while waiting on a lock.

Using less restrictive lock and unlock calls improves the real-time
responsiveness of the system.
