[ 14/49] sfc: lock TX queues when calling netif_device_detach()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 26 2013 - 19:14:47 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Daniel Pieczko <dpieczko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c2f3b8e3a44b6fe9e36704e30157ebe1a88c08b1 ]

The assertion of netif_device_present() at the top of
efx_hard_start_xmit() may fail if we don't do this.
