Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: close reset IRQ window and avoid double free
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 14:19:55 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320061955.833785-1-cohenyang511@gmail.com> (raw)
From: yangg9 <yangg9@xiaopeng.com>
During reset, stmmac_reset_subtask() used to set STMMAC_DOWN before IRQs
were freed in __stmmac_release(). That leaves a window where interrupts can
still fire after the device is marked down, which may lead to interrupt
storms while the interface is transitioning.
Move stmmac_free_irq() earlier in the reset flow, before setting
STMMAC_DOWN, so the reset path no longer has that interrupt window.
Since IRQs are now released in stmmac_reset_subtask(), guard IRQ release in
__stmmac_release() with STMMAC_DOWN to avoid a second free_irq() during the
same reset sequence.
This removes the interrupt-storm window in reset and prevents double IRQ
release.
