From 8961b1940200ac5e91bee1c1bc69086365e1b7c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lino Sanfilippo Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 11:49:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] pxa168: close race between napi and irq activation In pxa168_eth_open() the irqs are enabled before napi. This opens a tiny time window in which the irq handler is processed, disables irqs but then is not able to schedule the not yet activated napi, leaving irqs disabled forever (since irqs are reenabled in napi poll function). Fix this race by activating napi before irqs are activated. Signed-off-by: Lino Sanfilippo Signed-off-by: David S.
