Subject: [ 21/22] tg3: Avoid null pointer dereference in tg3_interrupt in netconsole mode
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:37:04 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130212203417.540048288@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130212203413.459836020@linuxfoundation.org>
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nithin Nayak Sujir <nsujir@broadcom.com>
[ Upstream commit 9c13cb8bb477a83b9a3c9e5a5478a4e21294a760 ]
When netconsole is enabled, logging messages generated during tg3_open
can result in a null pointer dereference for the uninitialized tg3
status block. Use the irq_sync flag to disable polling in the early
stages. irq_sync is cleared when the driver is enabling interrupts after
all initialization is completed.
