Right, it's a good idea, I didn't notice it, I'll send V2 with that later.
While this scheme will probably work, I think a better and more elegant way to fix this is to use RCU.
IMHO, RCU is not necessary for this simple two consumers, and no frequent ops
on tg3_halt, plus no new locker involved either. Cheers, Zumeng
