From 1ed0d56c1d5ff07a5d57e6467621f9a0c09b0b65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabio Estevam Date: Wed, 15 May 2013 07:06:27 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fec: Invert the order of function calls in fec_restart() commit 54309fa6 ("net: fec: fix kernel oops when plug/unplug cable many times") introduced the following 'if' block in the beginning of fec_start(): if (netif_running(ndev)) { netif_device_detach(ndev); napi_disable(&fep->napi); netif_stop_queue(ndev); netif_tx_lock_bh(ndev); } Then later in the end of fec_restart() there is another block that calls the opposite of each one of these functions. The correct approach would be to also call them with in the reverse order, so that we have as result: if (netif_running(ndev)) { netif_tx_unlock_bh(ndev); netif_wake_queue(ndev); napi_enable(&fep->napi); netif_device_attach(ndev); } Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Fabio Estevam Signed-off-by: David S.
