Subject: [PATCH net] usbnet: fix EVENT_RX_PAUSED race in usbnet_skb_return()
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2026 01:37:24 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261004223852.312487-1-omermetekaya0@gmail.com> (raw)
usbnet_resume_rx() uses local_bh_disable() to synchronize with
usbnet_skb_return(), but local_bh_disable() only affects the local CPU.
On SMP, usbnet_skb_return() on CPU0 can pass the test_bit() check while
CPU1 runs usbnet_resume_rx(), clears the flag and drains the queue,
leaving the skb stranded in rxq_pause until the next MTU change or
device stop.
Fix with a double-check pattern under rxq_pause.lock: normal RX avoids
the lock via an unlocked test_bit() fast path; on the slow path the lock
is taken and the flag rechecked before enqueuing. Move clear_bit() in
usbnet_resume_rx() under the same lock to make the flag and queue
transitions atomic.
Fixes: 43daa96b166c ("usbnet: Stop RX Q on MTU change")
