Subject: [PATCH] tg3: driver sleeps indefinitely when EEH errors exceed eeh_max_freezes

The driver function tg3_io_error_detected() calls napi_disable twice,
without an intervening napi_enable, when the number of EEH errors exceeds
eeh_max_freezes, resulting in an indefinite sleep while holding rtnl_lock.

The function is called once with the PCI state pci_channel_io_frozen and
then called again with the state pci_channel_io_perm_failure when the
number of EEH failures in an hour exceeds eeh_max_freezes.

Protecting the calls to napi_enable/napi_disable with a new state
variable prevents the long sleep.

This works, but I think a simpler fix is to check tp->pcierr_recovery
in tg3_io_error_detected() and skip most of the tg3 calls (including
the one that disables NAPI) if the flag is true.

This might be the smallest change that would work. Does it make sense
to the reader?

Dereferencing tp needs to be done after checking netdev. If we don't
have netdev, tp won't be valid.

Other than that, I think the logic looks good and is quite clear.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH v2] tg3: driver sleeps indefinitely when EEH errors exceed eeh_max_freezes

The driver function tg3_io_error_detected() calls napi_disable twice,
without an intervening napi_enable, when the number of EEH errors exceeds
eeh_max_freezes, resulting in an indefinite sleep while holding rtnl_lock.

Add check for pcierr_recovery which skips code already executed for the
"Frozen" state.

It appears this change is not sufficient. There's another failure case
when a TX timeout occurs, causing tg3_reset_task() to run, followed by a
call to tg3_io_error_detected() by the EEH driver. Not all occurences
of this sequence cause a failure, but some do. Here's an abbreviated
version of tg3_reset_task():

static void tg3_reset_task(struct work_struct *work)
{
...
tg3_netif_stop(tp); /* >>> Calls tg3_napi_disable() */

tg3_full_lock(tp, 1);

if (tg3_flag(tp, TX_RECOVERY_PENDING)) {
tp->write32_tx_mbox = tg3_write32_tx_mbox;
tp->write32_rx_mbox = tg3_write_flush_reg32;
tg3_flag_set(tp, MBOX_WRITE_REORDER);
tg3_flag_clear(tp, TX_RECOVERY_PENDING);
}

tg3_halt(tp, RESET_KIND_SHUTDOWN, 0);
err = tg3_init_hw(tp, true);
if (err)
goto out;

tg3_netif_start(tp); /* >>> Calls tg3_napi_enable() */

out:
...
}

In the working case, tg3_init_hw() returns successfully, resulting in
every instance of napi_disable() being followed by an instance of
napi_enable().

In the failing case, tg3_hw_init() returns an error. (This is not
surprising since the system is now preventing the adapter from accessing
its MMIO registers. I'm curious why it doesn't always fail.) When
tg3_hw_init() fails, tg3_netif_start() is not called, and we end up with
two sequential calls to napi_disable(), resulting in multiple hung task
messages.

A more complete log file attached below.

Can you suggest another solution or does it make sense to reconsider my
v1 patch for the issue?

Dave

If the driver fails to initialize the chip completely, the tg3_flags
should indicate we are in this failed state. We already have
TG3_FLAG_INIT_COMPLETE. Perhaps, we can expand the use of this flag
to cover the scenario that you described above. We can clear
TG3_FLAG_INIT_COMPLETE before calling tg3_halt() and only set it back
when tg3_hw_init() completes successfully. This is the rough idea,
but a more detailed analysis on how this flag is used needs to be done
first.

Assuming this works, the EEH handler can check TG3_FLAG_INIT_COMPLETE
to see if we should call tg3_netif_stop().

Another way to fix it is to call dev_close() if tg3_reset_task() fails
to re-initialize the device.
