commit 28a9a9e83c upstream
Packet queue state is over used to determine SDMA descriptor
availablitity and packet queue request state.
cpu 0 ret = user_sdma_send_pkts(req, pcount);
cpu 0 if (atomic_read(&pq->n_reqs))
cpu 1 IRQ user_sdma_txreq_cb calls pq_update() (state to _INACTIVE)
cpu 0 xchg(&pq->state, SDMA_PKT_Q_ACTIVE);
At this point pq->n_reqs == 0 and pq->state is incorrectly
SDMA_PKT_Q_ACTIVE. The close path will hang waiting for the state
to return to _INACTIVE.
This can also change the state from _DEFERRED to _ACTIVE. However,
this is a mostly benign race.
Remove the racy code path.
Use n_reqs to determine if a packet queue is active or not.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
