Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-net v2 5/5] i40e: fix races in PTP external timestamp work handling
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 14:51:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805065132.148625-6-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805065132.148625-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev>
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>
The time sync interrupt queues ptp_extts0_work, which reads device
registers and reports events through pf->ptp_clock. i40e_ptp_stop()
unregisters the PHC before disabling the event source or draining the
work. The worker can therefore use the clock or PF after either has been
freed.
Move the event-source shutdown before PHC unregister. i40e_ptp_stop()
first clears I40E_FLAG_PTP_ENA under ptp_config_lock, so timestamp
configuration cannot re-enable the source after the lock is released.
Then call disable_work_sync() to reject later queue attempts and drain
work already pending or running.
INIT_WORK() is currently called from i40e_ptp_set_timestamp_mode(), which
runs on reset and whenever timestamping is reconfigured. Reinitializing
pending or running work can corrupt its workqueue state. Initialize the
work once from i40e_sw_init() instead.
Fixes: 1050713026a0 ("i40e: add support for PTP external synchronization clock")
