From 080c637373904258ecc20cedc552b2472ab03d10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 10:22:29 +1030 Subject: [PATCH] virtio-net: drop config_mutex config_mutex served two purposes: prevent multiple concurrent config change handlers, and synchronize access to config_enable flag. Since commit dbf2576e37da0fcc7aacbfbb9fd5d3de7888a3c1 workqueue: make all workqueues non-reentrant all workqueues are non-reentrant, and config_enable is now gone. Get rid of the unnecessary lock.
