    tg3: prevent ifup/ifdown during PCI error recovery · 0486a063
    Ivan Vecera authored
    The patch fixes race conditions between PCI error recovery callbacks and
    potential ifup/ifdown.
    
    First, if ifup (tg3_open) is called between tg3_io_error_detected() and
    tg3_io_resume() then tp->timer is armed twice before expiry. Once during
    tg3_open() and again during tg3_io_resume(). This results in BUG
    at kernel/time/timer.c:945.
    
    Second, if ifdown (tg3_close) is called between tg3_io_error_detected()
    and tg3_io_resume() then tg3_napi_disable() is called twice without
    a tg3_napi_enable between. Once during tg3_io_error_detected() and again
    during tg3_close(). The tg3_io_resume() then hangs on rtnl_lock().
