Subject: be2net: fix a possible events_get() race on BE2
X-Git-Tag: v3.8-rc1~139^2~235
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0b545a62915aa635a5d41f64cbf3b7650c132a8d;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-stable.git

be2net: fix a possible events_get() race on BE2

On BE2 chip, an interrupt being raised even when EQ is in un-armed state has
been observed a few times.  This is not expected and has never been
observed on BE3/Lancer chips.

As a consequence, be_msix()::events_get() and be_poll()::events_get()
can race and notify an EQ wrongly causing a CEV UE. The other possible
side-effect would be traffic stalling because after notifying EQ,
napi_schedule() is ignored as NAPI is already running.

This patch fixes this issue by counting events only in be_poll().
