This patch just closes the window, bad things can still happen. I wanted to leave it up to the people who actively develop in ibmveth to close the window, since introducing a lock can be expensive in tx.
You don't need to instroduce a lock. The network stack already have a per-queue lock, you just use the existing one.
Look at what I did in sungem or ftgmac100 with the reset task, those are fairly simple drivers and should illustrate the technique.
