From 7ae5289017e5ed5514b2603d157fb54c058a3c82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Chan Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:38:33 +0000 Subject: tg3: Fix RSS ring refill race condition The RSS feature in tg3 hardware has only one rx producer ring for all RSS rings. NAPI vector 1 is special and handles the refilling of the rx producer ring on behalf of all RSS rings. There is a race condition between these RSS NAPIs and the NAPI[1]. If NAPI[1] finishes checking for refill and then another RSS ring empties the rx producer ring before NAPI[1] exits NAPI, the chip will be completely out of SKBs in the rx producer ring. We fix this by adding a flag tp->rx_refill and rely on napi_schedule()/ napi_complete() to help synchronize it to close the race condition. Update driver version to 3.123.
