mv643xx_eth: Fix race condition in mv643xx_eth_free_tx_descs
mv643xx_eth: Fix race condition in mv643xx_eth_free_tx_descs This bug was found and isolated by Thibaut VARENE <T-Bone@parisc-linux.org> and Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@o2.pl>. This patch is a modification of their fixes. We acquire and release the lock for each descriptor that is freed to minimize the time the lock is held. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
