From 19110cfbb34d4af0cdfe14cd243f3b09dc95b013 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Poirier Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2017 11:36:26 -0700 Subject: e1000e: Separate signaling for link check/link up Lennart reported the following race condition: \ e1000_watchdog_task \ e1000e_has_link \ hw->mac.ops.check_for_link() === e1000e_check_for_copper_link /* link is up */ mac->get_link_status = false; /* interrupt */ \ e1000_msix_other hw->mac.get_link_status = true; link_active = !hw->mac.get_link_status /* link_active is false, wrongly */ This problem arises because the single flag get_link_status is used to signal two different states: link status needs checking and link status is down. Avoid the problem by using the return value of .check_for_link to signal the link status to e1000e_has_link().
