Revision 976ee3b21119dcf5c6d96233d688a1453f29fa83 authored by Shannon Nelson on 09 June 2020, 03:41:43 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 09 June 2020, 20:19:27 UTC
The netif_running() test looks at __LINK_STATE_START which gets set before ndo_open() is called, there is a window of time between that and when the queues are actually ready to be run. If ionic_check_link_status() notices that the link is up very soon after netif_running() becomes true, it might try to run the queues before they are ready, causing all manner of potential issues. Since the netdev->flags IFF_UP isn't set until after ndo_open() returns, we can wait for that before we allow ionic_check_link_status() to start the queues. On the way back to close, __LINK_STATE_START is cleared before calling ndo_stop(), and IFF_UP is cleared after. Both of these need to be true in order to safely stop the queues from ionic_check_link_status().
