From 89b12faba4f3441c9457c5278851e8a93ffd008d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2010 18:28:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 3c59x: Fix deadlock in vortex_error() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This fixes a bug introduced in commit de847272149365363a6043a963a6f42fb91566e2 "3c59x: Use fine-grained locks for MII and windowed register access". vortex_interrupt() holds vp->window_lock over multiple register accesses to reduce locking overhead. However it also needs to call vortex_error() sometimes, and that uses the regular functions for access to windowed registers, which will try to acquire window_lock again. Therefore, drop window_lock around the call to vortex_error() and set the window afterward reacquiring the lock. Since vortex_error() may call vortex_rx(), which *does* require its caller to hold window_lock, lift that call up into vortex_interrupt(). This also removes the potential for calling vortex_rx() on a later-generation NIC. Reported-and-tested-by: Jens Schüßler [in Debian's 2.6.32] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.
