[net-2.6 PATCH V2] mlx4_en: Fix a kernel panic when waking tx queue

From: Yevgeny Petrilin <hidden>
Date: 2009-05-26 06:56:26
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

When the transmit queue gets full we enable interrupts for TX completions
There was a race that we handled the TX queue both from the interrupt context
and from the transmit function. Using "spin_trylock_irq()" ensures this
doesn't happen.
