[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/4] net/enic: remove locks from rte flow code

[Hyong Youb Kim <hyonkim@cisco.com>]

From: John Daley <johndale@cisco.com>

There is no requirement for thread safety in the flow PMD code and no need
for the locks.

Fixes: 6ced137607d0 ("net/enic: flow API for NICs with advanced filters enabled")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
