-Subject: [PATCH] enc28j60: Fix race condition in enc28j60 driver
-
-(Upstream commit 373819ec391de0d11f63b10b2fb69ef2854236ca)
-
-The interrupt worker code for the enc28j60 relies only on the TXIF flag to
-determinate if the packet transmission was completed. However the datasheet
-specifies in section 12.1.3 that TXERIF will clear the TXRTS after a
-transmit abort. Also in section 12.1.4 that TXIF will be set
-when TXRTS transitions from '1' to '0'. Therefore the TXIF flag is enabled
-during transmission errors.
-
-This causes a race condition, since the worker code will invoke
-enc28j60_tx_clear() -> netif_wake_queue(), potentially invoking the
-ndo_start_xmit function to send a new packet. The enc28j60_send_packet function
-uses a workqueue that invokes enc28j60_hw_tx(). In between this function is
-called, the worker from the interrupt handler will enter the path for error
-handler because of the TXERIF flag, causing to invoke enc28j60_tx_clear() again
-and releasing the packet scheduled for transmission, causing a kernel crash with
-due a NULL pointer.
-
-These crashes due a NULL pointer were observed under stress conditions of the
-device. A BUG_ON() sequence was used to validate the issue was fixed, and has
-been running without problems for 2 years now.
