Subject: [PATCH 1/2 net] tg3: Avoid null pointer dereference in tg3_interrupt in netconsole mode
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:10:59 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1358219460-5993-1-git-send-email-mchan@broadcom.com> (raw)

From: Nithin Nayak Sujir <nsujir@broadcom.com>

When netconsole is enabled, logging messages generated during tg3_open
can result in a null pointer dereference for the uninitialized tg3
status block. Use the irq_sync flag to disable polling in the early
stages. irq_sync is cleared when the driver is enabling interrupts after
all initialization is completed.
