[patch 07/12] can: c_can: Provide protection in the xmit path

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Mar 18 2014 - 13:25:23 EST


The network core does not serialize the access to the hardware. The
xmit related code lets the following happen:

CPU0 CPU1
interrupt()
do_poll()
c_can_do_tx()
Fiddle with HW and xmit()
internal data Fiddle with HW and
internal data

due the complete lack of serialization.

Add proper locking.
