Subject: [PATCH net] net: plip: quiesce private work when stopping the interface
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 21:41:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928134136.1213-1-getshell@seu.edu.cn> (raw)
PLIP interrupt, transmit, and work paths schedule the immediate and
deferred work items embedded in netdev private state. plip_close() stops
IRQ or polling publication, but it releases the parport and pending skbs
without draining those work items first. A callback can therefore continue
using resources released by an ordinary interface close or device teardown.
Initialize both work items disabled. On open, reset protocol state before
enabling the work and its IRQ or polling publishers. On close, stop those
publishers and then disable and drain the work before releasing resources.
The balanced enable and disable operations support later interface reopen.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
