From: Matthieu Ternisien d'Ouville Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2017 16:44:01 +0000 (+0100) Subject: net/mlx: remove link update lock X-Git-Tag: spdx-start~4796 X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2c960a5116d05cc7c93d00df707655d72d73d230;p=dpdk.git net/mlx: remove link update lock Retrieving link status information through the link update callback should be quick and non-blocking. Mellanox PMDs retrieve this information through ioctl() calls on the related kernel netdevice. This appears to take a long time to complete and may cause significant slowdowns in applications. While these system calls cannot be accelerated, removing the lock on the private structure allows applications to perform other control operations from separate threads in the meantime. This function remains safe without locking as it does not write the private structure, it is only used to retrieve the name of the netdevice.
