    r8152: Re-order napi_disable in rtl8152_close · 84811412
    Prashant Malani authored
    Both rtl_work_func_t() and rtl8152_close() call napi_disable().
    Since the two calls aren't protected by a lock, if the close
    function starts executing before the work function, we can get into a
    situation where the napi_disable() function is called twice in
    succession (first by rtl8152_close(), then by set_carrier()).
    
    In such a situation, the second call would loop indefinitely, since
    rtl8152_close() doesn't call napi_enable() to clear the NAPI_STATE_SCHED
    bit.
    
    The rtl8152_close() function in turn issues a
    cancel_delayed_work_sync(), and so it would wait indefinitely for the
    rtl_work_func_t() to complete. Since rtl8152_close() is called by a
    process holding rtnl_lock() which is requested by other processes, this
    eventually leads to a system deadlock and crash.
    
    Re-order the napi_disable() call to occur after the work function
    disabling and urb cancellation calls are issued.
