Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 12/14] net: macb: re-read ISR inside IRQ handler locked section
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 21:52:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410-macb-context-v2-12-af39f71d40b6@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410-macb-context-v2-0-af39f71d40b6@bootlin.com>

The IRQ handler reads ISR register into the `status` stack variable.
If empty, it early returns. Else, it grabs bp->lock and iterates on
the status bits.

If we tried grabbing bp->lock while already acquired, we might have
slept and the status might have been updated. Our most likely
competitor in this race (condition) is a swap operation, used in
change_mtu and set_ringparam. It is the only MACB codepath that resets
interrupts and HW inside a bp->lock critical section. Other codepaths
that clear HW IRQ status do so outside the bp->lock critical section.
