Subject: [PATCH net-2.6] 3c59x: Fix deadlock in vortex_error()
Date: Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:27:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1283822830.5323.562.camel@localhost> (raw)
This fixes a bug introduced in commit
de847272149365363a6043a963a6f42fb91566e2
"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.

Dave,
This is the regression I mentioned before. 3c59x should be good after
this.
Ben.
