From 35bb5cadc8c7b1462df57e32e08d964f1be7a75c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:05:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] via-velocity: Give RX descriptors to the NIC later on open or MTU change velocity_open() calls velocity_give_many_rx_descs(), which gives RX descriptors to the NIC, before installing an interrupt handler or calling velocity_init_registers(). I think this is very unsafe and it appears to explain the bug report <http://bugs.debian.org/508527>. On MTU change, velocity_give_many_rx_descs() is again called before velocity_init_registers(). I'm not sure whether this is unsafe but it does look wrong. Therefore, move the calls to velocity_give_many_rx_descs() after request_irq() and velocity_init_registers().
