Subject: [PATCH 02/13] 8139cp: handle cp_init_rings() failure in cp_tx_timeout()
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 18:37:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717103724.13971-3-luyun_611@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717103724.13971-1-luyun_611@163.com>
From: Yun Lu <luyun@kylinos.cn>
cp_tx_timeout() ignores the return value of cp_init_rings(). If the
RX buffer refill fails there, cp_clean_rings() has already dropped
all rx_skb entries, yet the driver restarts the hardware and
schedules NAPI unconditionally. cp_rx_poll() then dereferences a
NULL rx_skb slot and hits BUG_ON(!skb), crashing the kernel; the RX
ring also stays empty until the next close/open cycle.
On refill failure, keep the queue stopped and leave the device down
until the next open instead of restarting into a guaranteed BUG.
Fixes: 9030c0d24dbb ("8139cp: implement the missing dev->tx_timeout")
