[PATCH 4.4 015/192] [PATCH 015/135] e1000: fix data race between tx_ring->next_to_clean

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 12 2016 - 13:05:36 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 9eab46b7cb8d0b0dcf014bf7b25e0e72b9e4d929 ]

e1000_clean_tx_irq cleans buffers and sets tx_ring->next_to_clean,
then e1000_xmit_frame reuses the cleaned buffers. But there are no
memory barriers when buffers gets recycled, so the recycled buffers
can be corrupted.

Use smp_store_release to update tx_ring->next_to_clean and
smp_load_acquire to read tx_ring->next_to_clean to properly
hand off buffers from e1000_clean_tx_irq to e1000_xmit_frame.

The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).
