[PATCH net v2] ravb: Fix races between ravb_tx_timeout_work() and net related ops

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fix races between ravb_tx_timeout_work() and functions of net_device_ops
and ethtool_ops by using rtnl_trylock() and rtnl_unlock(). Note that
since ravb_close() is under the rtnl lock and calls cancel_work_sync(),
ravb_tx_timeout_work() should calls rtnl_trylock(). Otherwise, a deadlock
may happen in ravb_tx_timeout_work() like below:

CPU0			CPU1
			ravb_tx_timeout()
			schedule_work()
...
__dev_close_many()
// Under rtnl lock
ravb_close()
cancel_work_sync()
// Waiting
			ravb_tx_timeout_work()
			rtnl_lock()
			// This is possible to cause a deadlock
