Subject: [PATCH net v3 01/12] net/sonic: Add mutual exclusion for accessing
 shared state
Date:   Thu, 23 Jan 2020 09:07:26 +1100
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The netif_stop_queue() call in sonic_send_packet() races with the
netif_wake_queue() call in sonic_interrupt(). This causes issues
like "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (macsonic): transmit queue 0 timed out".
Fix this by disabling interrupts when accessing tx_skb[] and next_tx.
Update a comment to clarify the synchronization properties.

Fixes: efcce839360f ("[PATCH] macsonic/jazzsonic network drivers update")
Tested-by: Stan Johnson <userm57@yahoo.com>
Signed-off-by: Finn Thain <fthain@telegraphics.com.au>
---
Changed since v1:
 - Added spin lock, as requested by Geert.
Changed since v2:
 - Added comment to explain the need for an irq lock.
