Revision 373819ec391de0d11f63b10b2fb69ef2854236ca authored by Sergio Valverde on 01 July 2016, 17:44:30 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 02 July 2016, 18:48:14 UTC
The interrupt worker code for the enc28j60 relies only on the TXIF flag to
determinate if the packet transmission was completed. However the datasheet
specifies in section 12.1.3 that TXERIF will clear the TXRTS after a
transmit abort. Also in section 12.1.4 that TXIF will be set
when TXRTS transitions from '1' to '0'. Therefore the TXIF flag is enabled
during transmission errors.

This causes a race condition, since the worker code will invoke
enc28j60_tx_clear() -> netif_wake_queue(), potentially invoking the
ndo_start_xmit function to send a new packet. The enc28j60_send_packet function
uses a workqueue that invokes enc28j60_hw_tx(). In between this function is
called, the worker from the interrupt handler will enter the path for error
handler because of the TXERIF flag, causing to invoke enc28j60_tx_clear() again
and releasing the packet scheduled for transmission, causing a kernel crash with
due a NULL pointer.

These crashes due a NULL pointer were observed under stress conditions of the
device. A BUG_ON() sequence was used to validate the issue was fixed, and has
been running without problems for 2 years now.
