      3c59x: Fix deadlock in vortex_error() · 89b12fab
      Ben Hutchings authored
      
      This fixes a bug introduced in commit
      de847272
      "3c59x: Use fine-grained locks for MII and windowed register access".
      
      vortex_interrupt() holds vp->window_lock over multiple register
      accesses to reduce locking overhead.  However it also needs to call
      vortex_error() sometimes, and that uses the regular functions for
      access to windowed registers, which will try to acquire window_lock
      again.
      
      Therefore, drop window_lock around the call to vortex_error() and set
      the window afterward reacquiring the lock.  Since vortex_error() may
      call vortex_rx(), which *does* require its caller to hold window_lock,
      lift that call up into vortex_interrupt().  This also removes the
      potential for calling vortex_rx() on a later-generation NIC.

      bonding: Fix jiffies overflow problems (again) · cb32f2a0
      Jiri Bohac authored
      
      The time_before_eq()/time_after_eq() functions operate on unsigned
      long and only work if the difference between the two compared values
      is smaller than half the range of unsigned long (31 bits on i386).
      
      Some of the variables (slave->jiffies, dev->trans_start, dev->last_rx)
      used by bonding store a copy of jiffies and may not be updated for a
      long time. With HZ=1000, time_before_eq()/time_after_eq() will start
      giving bad results after ~25 days.
      
      jiffies will never be before slave->jiffies, dev->trans_start,
      dev->last_rx by more than possibly a couple ticks caused by preemption
      of this code. This allows us to detect/prevent these overflows by
      replacing time_before_eq()/time_after_eq() with time_in_range().

      stmmac: fix sleep inside atomic · c4433be6
      Giuseppe Cavallaro authored
      
      We cannot use spinlock when kmalloc is invoked with
      GFP_KERNEL flag because it can sleep.
      So this patch reviews the usage of spinlock within the
      stmmac_resume function avoing this bug.

      pxa168_eth: fix error handling in prope · 945c7c73
      Dan Carpenter authored
      
      A couple issues here:
      * Some resources weren't released.
      * If alloc_etherdev() failed it would have caused a NULL dereference
        because "pep" would be null when we checked "if (pep->clk)".
      * Also it's better to propagate the error codes from mdiobus_register()
        instead of just returning -ENOMEM.

      Dan Carpenter authored
      
      "pep->pd" isn't checked consistently in this function.  For example it's
      dereferenced unconditionally on the next line after the end of the if
      condition.  This function is only called from pxa168_eth_probe() and
      pep->pd is always non-NULL so I removed the check.

      phylib: Fix race between returning phydev and calling adjust_link · ef24b16b
      Anton Vorontsov authored
      
      It is possible that phylib will call adjust_link before returning
      from {,of_}phy_connect(), which may cause the following [very rare,
      though] oops upon reopening the device:
      
        Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x0000024c
        Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

        [c0d25f30] [c036c158] phy_state_machine+0x3ac/0x554
        [...]
      
      Here is why. Drivers store phydev in their private structures, e.g.
      gianfar driver:
      
      static int init_phy(struct net_device *dev)
      {
      	...
      	priv->phydev = of_phy_connect(...);
      	...
      }
      
      So that adjust_link could retrieve it back:
      
      static void adjust_link(struct net_device *dev)
      {
      	...
      	struct phy_device *phydev = priv->phydev;
      	...
      }
      
      If the device has been opened before, then phydev->state is set to
      PHY_HALTED (or undefined if the driver didn't call phy_stop()).
      
      Now, phy_connect starts the PHY state machine before returning phydev to
      the driver:
      
      	phy_start_machine(phydev, NULL);
      
      	if (phydev->irq > 0)
      		phy_start_interrupts(phydev);
      
      	return phydev;
      
      The time between 'phy_start_machine()' and 'return phydev' is undefined.
      The start machine routine delays execution for 1 second, which is enough
      for most cases. But under heavy load, or if you're unlucky, it is quite
      possible that PHY state machine will execute before phy_connect()
      returns, and so adjust_link callback will try to dereference phydev,
      which is not yet ready.
      
      To fix the issue, simply initialize the PHY's state to PHY_READY during
      phy_attach(). This will ensure that phylib won't call adjust_link before
      phy_start().

      3c59x: Fix deadlock between boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_tx · aa25ab7d
      Neil Horman authored
      
      If netconsole is in use, there is a possibility for deadlock in 3c59x between
      boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit.  Both routines take the vp->lock,
      and if netconsole is in use, a pr_* call from the boomerang_interrupt routine
      will result in the netconsole code attempting to trnasmit an skb, which can try
      to take the same spin lock, resulting in deadlock.
      
      The fix is pretty straightforward.  This patch allocats a bit in the 3c59x
      private structure to indicate that its handling an interrupt.  If we get into
      the transmit routine and that bit is set, we can be sure that we have recursed
      and will deadlock if we continue, so instead we just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so
      the stack requeues the skb to try again later.
