From: Michael Chan Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 04:46:02 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [TG3]: Fix tx race condition X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1b2a720506ccf7c30baaeda5d990c29b31e21726;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git [TG3]: Fix tx race condition Fix a subtle race condition between tg3_start_xmit() and tg3_tx() discovered by Herbert Xu : CPU0 CPU1 tg3_start_xmit() if (tx_ring_full) { tx_lock tg3_tx() if (!netif_queue_stopped) netif_stop_queue() if (!tx_ring_full) update_tx_ring netif_wake_queue() tx_unlock } Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in tg3_tx() in program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above. This scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if tg3_tx() has just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening should be very rare though. The following changes are made: 1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition. 2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on netif_tx_lock. This eliminates one spinlock in tg3_start_xmit() when the ring is full. 3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx() before calling netif_wake_queue(). 4. Change TX_BUFFS_AVAIL to an inline function with a memory barrier. Herbert and David suggested using the memory barrier instead of volatile. 5. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx(). This reduces the number of unnecessary spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition. 6. Update version to 3.65. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Acked-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
