-> netif_poll_disable() may sleep while a spinlock is held.

So it can, thanks.

Quoted 1 line

Btw, the poll/close routines seem racy with each other.

I had been under the impression that the stack was supposed to make sure that no poll() is running before the driver close() gets called? I could well be missing something there, though. Indeed, now that I think about it the calls netif_poll_disable() in suspend() ought to mean that we don't need to look at hands_off inside poll().

Not exactly. dev_close() waits a bit but it can not be sure that the device driver will not schedule ->poll() from its irq handler later.

Prior to waiting dev_close() clears __LINK_STATE_START which will cause netif_rx_schedule_prep() to return false. As far as I can see that should prevent the interrupt handler scheduling any further poll() calls?

This revision of the patch:
- Doesn't sleep with the device spinlock held in suspend().
- Improves the synchronisation between poll() and the shutdown paths.

This patch against 2.6.14 converts the natsemi driver to use NAPI. It was originally based on one written by Harald Welte, though it has since been modified quite a bit, most extensively in order to remove the ability to disable NAPI since none of the other drivers seem to provide that functionality any more.

Was it updated per the comments you received on the first posting?

Resubmit: [PATCH] natsemi: NAPI support

In reply to Jeff Garzik

This patch against 2.6.14 converts the natsemi driver to use NAPI. It was originally based on one written by Harald Welte, though it has since been modified quite a bit, most extensively in order to remove the ability to disable NAPI since none of the other drivers seem to provide that functionality any more.

---

This revision of the patch:
- Doesn't sleep with the device spinlock held in suspend().
- Improves the synchronisation between poll() and the shutdown paths.

and should address all the issues people previously raised.

Re: Resubmit: [PATCH] natsemi: NAPI support

Quoted 5 lines · Mark Brown

This patch against 2.6.14 converts the natsemi driver to use NAPI. It was originally based on one written by Harald Welte, though it has since been modified quite a bit, most extensively in order to remove the ability to disable NAPI since none of the other drivers seem to provide that functionality any more.

Mark, sorry for not responding earlier to your emails with regard to your natsemi patch.

Thanks for pushing this persistently. From reviewing your patch, I personally thin it's fine to be merged.

I will test it on my natsemi based boxes later today.
