Subject: [PATCH] ne2k+8390 in linux-3.18.0: some potential bugs
Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2014 21:27:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <001801d01c58$c4c1f650$4e45e2f0$@163.com> (raw)

I have actually tested ne2k+8390 driver on the real hardware(Realtek RTL8029
PCI Ethernet Controller), and find some potential bugs:
The target file is drivers/net/ethernet/8390/ne2k-pci.c, which is used to
build ne2k-pci.ko.

(1) The function request_region is called by ne2k_pci_init_one when
initializing the ethernet card driver. But when request_region is failed,
which means that it returns the error value, ne2k_pci_init_one returns
immediately to halt the process. However, because pci_enable_device has been
called before request_region in ne2k_pci_init_one, pci_disable_device should
be called before exiting. When the driver works normally, pci_enable_device
and pci_disable_device are called in pairs in ne2k_pci_init_one and
ne2k_pci_remove_one. Moreover, other ethernet card drivers call
pci_enable_device and pci_disable_device in pairs in error handling paths,
such as r8169 and sky2.
(2) The similar problem occurs when alloc_ei_netdev is failed in
ne2k_pci_init_one.
(3) The similar problem occurs when register_netdev is failed in
ne2k_pci_init_one.


Meanwhile, I also write the patch to fix the bugs. I have run the patch on
the hardware, it can work normally and fix the above bugs.
