From 6086f02a18aeae795a61a3fc6566920891ea3b52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Kleine-Budde Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2021 22:41:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] can: mcp251xfd: mcp251xfd_handle_tefif(): fix TEF vs. TX race condition The mcp251xfd driver uses a TX FIFO for sending CAN frames and a TX Event FIFO (TEF) for completed TX-requests. The TEF event handling in the mcp251xfd_handle_tefif() function has a race condition. It first increments the tx-ring's tail counter to signal that there's room in the TX and TEF FIFO, then it increments the TEF FIFO in hardware. A running mcp251xfd_start_xmit() on a different CPU might not stop the txqueue (as the tx-ring still shows free space). The next mcp251xfd_start_xmit() will push a message into the chip and the TX complete event might overflow the TEF FIFO. This patch changes the order to fix the problem.
