Subject: [PATCH] net: qcom/emac: disable interrupts before calling phy_disconnect
Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 14:14:35 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1476472475-12104-1-git-send-email-timur@codeaurora.org> (raw)

There is a race condition that can occur if EMAC interrupts are
enabled when phy_disconnect() is called.  phy_disconnect() sets
adjust_link to NULL.  When an interrupt occurs, the ISR might
call phy_mac_interrupt(), which wakes up the workqueue function
phy_state_machine().  This function might reference adjust_link,
thereby causing a null pointer exception.
