From a5a5d371ad3be042dd00dfe64b3fd2ebc1fb43b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yoshihiro Shimoda Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2021 20:29:40 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] net: renesas: sh_eth: Fix freeing wrong tx descriptor [ Upstream commit 0341d5e3d1ee2a36dd5a49b5bef2ce4ad1cfa6b4 ] The cur_tx counter must be incremented after TACT bit of txdesc->status was set. However, a CPU is possible to reorder instructions and/or memory accesses between cur_tx and txdesc->status. And then, if TX interrupt happened at such a timing, the sh_eth_tx_free() may free the descriptor wrongly. So, add wmb() before cur_tx++. Otherwise NETDEV WATCHDOG timeout is possible to happen.
