Subject: [PATCH] Fix tulip shutdown DMA/irq race
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 15:31:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060626223157.GH19196@goober> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060623050029.GB23383@colo.lackof.org>
From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>
IRQs are racing with tulip_down(). DMA can be restarted by the
interrupt handler _after_ we call tulip_stop_rxtx() and the DMA
buffers are unmapped. The result is an MCA (hard crash on ia64)
because of an IO TLB miss. The long-term fix is to make the interrupt
handler shutdown aware.
