Subject: net/sfc: do not hold management event queue lock while MCDI
X-Git-Tag: spdx-start~488
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f042136ee2ed1cff425dd28c69c7c5f80acc4526;p=dpdk.git

net/sfc: do not hold management event queue lock while MCDI

MCDI execution may require MCDI proxy handling which involves
management event queue polling. So, it is a bad idea to hold
managment event queue lock when MCDI is executed.

Event queue creation and destruction are MCDI operations.
