From ca99ca14c95ae49fb4c9cd3abf5f84d11a7e8a61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Horman Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2013 08:05:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netpoll: protect napi_poll and poll_controller during dev_[open|close] Ivan Vercera was recently backporting commit 9c13cb8bb477a83b9a3c9e5a5478a4e21294a760 to a RHEL kernel, and I noticed that, while this patch protects the tg3 driver from having its ndo_poll_controller routine called during device initalization, it does nothing for the driver during shutdown. I.e. it would be entirely possible to have the ndo_poll_controller method (or subsequently the ndo_poll) routine called for a driver in the netpoll path on CPU A while in parallel on CPU B, the ndo_close or ndo_open routine could be called. Given that the two latter routines tend to initizlize and free many data structures that the former two rely on, the result can easily be data corruption or various other crashes. Furthermore, it seems that this is potentially a problem with all net drivers that support netpoll, and so this should ideally be fixed in a common path. As Ben H Pointed out to me, we can't preform dev_open/dev_close in atomic context, so I've come up with this solution. We can use a mutex to sleep in open/close paths and just do a mutex_trylock in the napi poll path and abandon the poll attempt if we're locked, as we'll just retry the poll on the next send anyway. I've tested this here by flooding netconsole with messages on a system whos nic driver I modfied to periodically return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so that the netpoll tx workqueue would be forced to send frames and poll the device. While this was going on I rapidly ifdown/up'ed the interface and watched for any problems. I've not found any. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman CC: Ivan Vecera CC: "David S.
