    tg3: Eliminate timer race with reset_task · 5b190624
    Matt Carlson authored Nov 04, 2011
    
    
    During shutdown, it is impossible to reliably disable the timer and
    reset_task threads.  Each thread can schedule the other, which leads to
    shutdown code that chases its tail.
    
    To fix the problem, this patch removes the ability of tg3_reset_task to
    schedule a new timer thread.  To support this change, tg3_timer no
    longer terminates itself, but rather goes into a polling mode.
