[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 07/10] usbnet: ipheth: fix racing condition

[Sasha Levin]

From: Bernd Eckstein <3erndeckstein@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 94d250fae48e6f873d8362308f5c4d02cd1b1fd2 ]

Fix a racing condition in ipheth.c that can lead to slow performance.

Bug: In ipheth_tx(), netif_wake_queue() may be called on the callback
ipheth_sndbulk_callback(), _before_ netif_stop_queue() is called.
When this happens, the queue is stopped longer than it needs to be,
thus reducing network performance.

Fix: Move netif_stop_queue() in front of usb_submit_urb(). Now the order
is always correct. In case, usb_submit_urb() fails, the queue is woken up
again as callback will not fire.

Testing: This racing condition is usually not noticeable, as it has to
occur very frequently to slowdown the network. The callback from the USB
is usually triggered slow enough, so the situation does not appear.
However, on a Ubuntu Linux on VMWare Workstation, running on Windows 10,
the we loose the race quite often and the following speedup can be noticed:

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 08/10] usbnet: fix kernel crash after disconnect

[Sasha Levin]

From: Kloetzke Jan <Jan.Kloetzke@preh.de>

[ Upstream commit ad70411a978d1e6e97b1e341a7bde9a79af0c93d ]

When disconnecting cdc_ncm the kernel sporadically crashes shortly
after the disconnect:

  ...

The crash happens roughly 125..130ms after the disconnect. This
correlates with the 'delay' timer that is started on certain USB tx/rx
errors in the URB completion handler.

The problem is a race of usbnet_stop() with usbnet_start_xmit(). In
usbnet_stop() we call usbnet_terminate_urbs() to cancel all URBs in
flight. This only makes sense if no new URBs are submitted
concurrently, though. But the usbnet_start_xmit() can run at the same
time on another CPU which almost unconditionally submits an URB. The
error callback of the new URB will then schedule the timer after it was
already stopped.

The fix adds a check if the tx queue is stopped after the tx list lock
has been taken. This should reliably prevent the submission of new URBs
while usbnet_terminate_urbs() does its job. The same thing is done on
the rx side even though it might be safe due to other flags that are
checked there.
