Subject: [PATCH] net: macb: Fix tx_ptr_lock locking
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 12:00:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250828160023.1505762-1-sean.anderson@linux.dev> (raw)
macb_start_xmit can be called with bottom-halves disabled (e.g.
transmitting from softirqs) as well as with interrupts disabled (with
netpoll). Because of this, all other functions taking tx_ptr_lock must
disable IRQs, and macb_start_xmit must only re-enable IRQs if they
were already enabled.
Fixes: 138badbc21a0 ("net: macb: use NAPI for TX completion path")
