[NETPOLL]: tx lock deadlock fix
If sky2 device poll routine is called from netpoll_send_skb, it would deadlock. The netpoll_send_skb held the netif_tx_lock, and the poll routine could acquire it to clean up skb's. Other drivers might use same locking model. The driver is correct, netpoll should not introduce more locking problems than it causes already. So change the code to drop lock before calling poll handler. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux.foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
