sh_eth: Fix serialisation of interrupt disable with interrupt & NAPI handlers
In order to stop the RX path accessing the RX ring while it's being
stopped or resized, we clear the interrupt mask (EESIPR) and then call
free_irq() or synchronise_irq(). This is insufficient because the
interrupt handler or NAPI poller may set EESIPR again after we clear
it. Also, in sh_eth_set_ringparam() we currently don't disable NAPI
polling at all.
I could easily trigger a crash by running the loop:
while ethtool -G eth0 rx 128 && ethtool -G eth0 rx 64; do echo -n .; done
and 'ping -f' toward the sh_eth port from another machine.
To fix this:
- Add a software flag (irq_enabled) to signal whether interrupts
should be enabled
- In the interrupt handler, if the flag is clear then clear EESIPR
and return
- In the NAPI poller, if the flag is clear then don't set EESIPR
- Set the flag before enabling interrupts in sh_eth_dev_init() and
sh_eth_set_ringparam()
- Clear the flag and serialise with the interrupt and NAPI
handlers before clearing EESIPR in sh_eth_close() and
sh_eth_set_ringparam()
After this, I could run the loop for 100,000 iterations successfully.
