This patch fixes a race condition that can result into the interface being up and carrier on, but with transmits disabled in the hardware. The bug may show up by repeatedly IFF_DOWN+IFF_UP the interface, which allows e1000_watchdog() interleave with e1000_down(). CPU x CPU y -------------------------------------------------------------------- e1000_down(): netif_carrier_off() e1000_watchdog(): if (carrier == off) { netif_carrier_on(); enable_hw_transmit(); } disable_hw_transmit(); e1000_watchdog(): /* carrier on, do nothing */ Signed-off-by: Vincenzo Maffione <v.maffione@gmail.com> Tested-by: Aaron Brown <aaron.f.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>
