Subject: [PATCH] r8169: fix a race between PCI probe and dev_open
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 22:34:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070131213428.GA17534@electric-eye.fr.zoreil.com> (raw)
Call chain:
-> rtl8169_init_one
-> register_netdev (dev_open starts to race...)
-> rtl8169_init_phy
-> rtl8169_set_speed
-> tp->set_speed
-> mod_timer(&tp->timer, ...) (if netif_running() is true)
As netif_running() is true just before dev->open() is issued and the
timer is initialized during dev->open, mod_timer() meets an uninitialized
tp->timer and oopses.
rtl8169_init_phy is only used on rtl8169_init_one so it's fine to never
ask it to activate the timer: the racing dev->open will do it anyway.
