3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit d2779e99468fd83ef1493c34f3803fec9aad8345 ]
While implementing NAPI for the driver, I overlooked the race conditions where
interrupt handler might have called napi_schedule_prep() before napi_enable()
was called or after napi_disable() was called. If RX interrupt happens, this
would cause the endless interrupts and messages like:
sh-eth eth0: ignoring interrupt, status 0x00040000, mask 0x01ff009f.
The interrupt wouldn't even be masked by the kernel eventually since the handler
would return IRQ_HANDLED all the time.
As a fix, move napi_enable() call before request_irq() call and napi_disable()
call after free_irq() call.
