    stmmac: Clear variable when destroying workqueue · 8af411bb
    Jakub Raczynski authored
    Currently when suspending driver and stopping workqueue it is checked whether
    workqueue is not NULL and if so, it is destroyed.
    Function destroy_workqueue() does drain queue and does clear variable, but
    it does not set workqueue variable to NULL. This can cause kernel/module
    panic if code attempts to clear workqueue that was not initialized.
    
    This scenario is possible when resuming suspended driver in stmmac_resume(),
    because there is no handling for failed stmmac_hw_setup(),
    which can fail and return if DMA engine has failed to initialize,
    and workqueue is initialized after DMA engine.
    Should DMA engine fail to initialize, resume will proceed normally,
    but interface won't work and TX queue will eventually timeout,
    causing 'Reset adapter' error.
    This then does destroy workqueue during reset process.
    And since workqueue is initialized after DMA engine and can be skipped,
    it will cause kernel/module panic.
    
    To secure against this possible crash, set workqueue variable to NULL when
    destroying workqueue.
    
    Log/backtrace from crash goes as follows:
