Subject: [net 3/6] can: mcp251xfd: mcp251xfd_handle_tefif(): fix TEF vs. TX race condition
Date: Thu,  7 Jan 2021 11:34:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210107103451.183477-4-mkl@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210107103451.183477-1-mkl@pengutronix.de>

The mcp251xfd driver uses a TX FIFO for sending CAN frames and a TX Event FIFO
(TEF) for completed TX-requests.

The TEF event handling in the mcp251xfd_handle_tefif() function has a race
condition. It first increments the tx-ring's tail counter to signal that
there's room in the TX and TEF FIFO, then it increments the TEF FIFO in
hardware.

A running mcp251xfd_start_xmit() on a different CPU might not stop the txqueue
(as the tx-ring still shows free space). The next mcp251xfd_start_xmit() will
push a message into the chip and the TX complete event might overflow the TEF
FIFO.

This patch changes the order to fix the problem.

Fixes: 68c0c1c7f966 ("can: mcp251xfd: tef-path: reduce number of SPI core requests to set UINC bit")
