net/tg3: fix race condition in tg3_reset_task()
When an EEH error is encountered by a PCI adapter, the EEH driver modifies the PCI channel's state as shown below: enum { /* I/O channel is in normal state */ pci_channel_io_normal = (__force pci_channel_state_t) 1, /* I/O to channel is blocked */ pci_channel_io_frozen = (__force pci_channel_state_t) 2, /* PCI card is dead */ pci_channel_io_perm_failure = (__force pci_channel_state_t) 3, }; If the same EEH error then causes the tg3 driver's transmit timeout logic to execute, the tg3_tx_timeout() function schedules a reset task via tg3_reset_task_schedule(), which may cause a race condition between the tg3 and EEH driver as both attempt to recover the HW via a reset action. EEH driver gets error event --> eeh_set_channel_state() and set device to one of error state above scheduler: tg3_reset_task() get returned error from tg3_init_hw() --> dev_close() shuts down the interface tg3_io_slot_reset() and tg3_io_resume() fail to reset/resume the device To resolve this issue, we avoid the race condition by checking the PCI channel state in the tg3_reset_task() function and skip the tg3 driver initiated reset when the PCI channel is not in the normal state. (The driver has no access to tg3 device registers at this point and cannot even complete the reset task successfully without external assistance.) We'll leave the reset procedure to be managed by the EEH driver which calls the tg3_io_error_detected(), tg3_io_slot_reset() and tg3_io_resume() functions as appropriate. Adding the same checking in tg3_dump_state() to avoid dumping all device registers when the PCI channel is not in the normal state. Signed-off-by:Thinh Tran <thinhtr@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by:
