Subject: [PATCH] skge: fix occasional BUG during MTU change
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 18:36:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090407183623.7545bb0b@leela> (raw)

The BUG_ON(skge->tx_ring.to_use != skge->tx_ring.to_clean) in skge_up()
was sometimes observed when setting MTU.

skge_down() disables the TX queue, but then reenables it by mistake via
skge_tx_clean().
Fix it by moving the waking of the queue from skge_tx_clean() to the
other caller. And to make sure start_xmit is not in progress on another
CPU, skge_down() should call netif_tx_disable().

The bug was reported to me by Jiri Jilek whose Debian system sometimes
failed to boot. He tested the patch and the bug did not happen anymore.
