Subject: [PATCH] staging: octeon: fix race condition and log macro in ethernet-rgmii.c
Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2026 09:52:10 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261107-octeon-rgmii-fixes-v1-1-3cd7734fd2ee@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Oscar Alejandro Sánchez Lucero <aleszlucero@gmail.com>
Fix a race condition in cvm_oct_check_preamble_errors() by moving the
read assignment of priv->link_info inside the global_register_lock
protected critical section. This prevents unsynchronized read-accesses
concurring with status mutations from concurrent polling contexts.
Additionally, modernize the message output by replacing the obsolete
printk_ratelimited() call with netdev_notice_ratelimited().
