The driver is cxgb3 here, it uses LLTX.
That's extremely unfortunate, hopefully you can update it to
use a model like tg3 and others use. LLTX is a lost cause
for hardware device drivers, and in fact we'd like to remove
it tree wide eventually.

It sounds like I messed up.
cxgb3 does not use LLTX - The Chelsio driver does, thus should be
converted.

So, it sounds like Krishna's patch is ok, because the race does not exist anymore in this driver?
