Revert "virtio_net: Add a lock for per queue RX coalesce"
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This reverts commit 4d4ac2e.

When the following snippet is run, lockdep will report a deadlock[1].

  /* Acquire all queues dim_locks */
  for (i = 0; i < vi->max_queue_pairs; i++)
          mutex_lock(&vi->rq[i].dim_lock);

There's no deadlock here because the vq locks are always taken
in the same order, but lockdep can not figure it out, and we
can not make each lock a separate class because there can be more
than MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES of vqs.

However, dropping the lock is harmless:
  1. If dim is enabled, modifications made by dim worker to coalescing
     params may cause the user's query results to be dirty data.
  2. In scenarios (a) and (b), a spurious dim worker is scheduled,
     but this can be handled correctly:
     (a)
       1. dim is on
       2. net_dim call schedules a worker
       3. dim is turning off
       4. The worker checks that dim is off and then exits after
          restoring dim's state.
       5. The worker will not be scheduled until the next time dim is on.

     (b)
       1. dim is on
       2. net_dim call schedules a worker
       3. The worker checks that dim is on and keeps going
       4. dim is turning off
       5. The worker successfully configure this parameter to the device.
       6. The worker will not be scheduled until the next time dim is on.
