Hi,

I am a bit confused about the locking part. All the calls to send_packet() are
made with ictx->lock held. So will the following be sufficient?

lockdep_assert_held(&ictx->lock);
if (ictx->tx.busy)
return -EBUSY;

Or do we need to add a mutex/spin lock inside ictx->tx structure?

Or should we instead wait for the the tx to be completed as follows:
wait_for_completion(&ictx->tx.finished);

Please advise.

Thanks,
Gautam
