Subject: ramips: Rework ramips_eth to not require irqsave locking anymore
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a2708d11e88d423279e3a90869c6d5e6405d3f6f;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fldir.git

ramips: Rework ramips_eth to not require irqsave locking anymore

Previously the tx housekeeping was done in a spin_lock_irqsave critical
section which causes irqs to be disabled during that time. Since the
housekeeping is already prepared to be scheduled as a tasklet process
the housekeeping only in softirq context and revise the locking between
the tx path and the housekeeping tasklet by using a normal spin_lock
which in most situations will be a NOP anyway.

This makes sure that interrupts are only disabled for a short time
since in the worst case the housekeeping might have to free up to 256
skbs.
