From 4a025f49d3f2f2f39b474af360c81a5587b41657 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Kravkov <dmitry@broadcom.com> Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2011 04:34:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: prevent race in statistics flow The race may cause access of registers while MAC hw block is in reset state. As a result syslog will show error messages. We can prevent this by using state from local variable.
