From c7c2c39be8ed4e503e987151f4599455060e219a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?fran=C3=A7ois=20romieu?= Date: Sun, 4 Dec 2011 20:30:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] r8169: fix Rx index race between FIFO overflow recovery and NAPI handler. Since 92fc43b4159b518f5baae57301f26d770b0834c9, rtl8169_tx_timeout ends up resetting Rx and Tx indexes and thus racing with the NAPI handler via -> rtl8169_hw_reset -> rtl_hw_reset -> rtl8169_init_ring_indexes What about returning to the original state ? rtl_hw_reset is only used by rtl8169_hw_reset and rtl8169_init_one. The latter does not need rtl8169_init_ring_indexes because the indexes still contain their original values from the newly allocated network device private data area (i.e. 0). rtl8169_hw_reset is used by: 1. rtl8169_down Helper for rtl8169_close. rtl8169_open explicitely inits the indexes anyway. 2. rtl8169_pcierr_interrupt Indexes are set by rtl8169_reinit_task. 3. rtl8169_interrupt rtl8169_hw_reset is needed when the device goes down. See 1. 4. rtl_shutdown System shutdown handler. Indexes are irrelevant. 5. rtl8169_reset_task Indexes must be set before rtl_hw_start is called. 6. rtl8169_tx_timeout Indexes should not be set. This is the job of rtl8169_reset_task anyway. The removal of rtl8169_hw_reset in rtl8169_tx_timeout and its move in rtl8169_reset_task do not change the analysis.
