[PATCH net v2] amd-xgbe: fix sleep while atomic on suspend/resume
From: Raju Rangoju
Date: Thu Feb 26 2026 - 11:59:16 EST
The xgbe_powerdown() and xgbe_powerup() functions use spinlocks
(spin_lock_irqsave) while calling functions that may sleep:
- napi_disable() can sleep waiting for NAPI polling to complete
- flush_workqueue() can sleep waiting for pending work items
This causes a "BUG: scheduling while atomic" error during suspend/resume
cycles on systems using the AMD XGBE Ethernet controller.
The spinlock protection in these functions is unnecessary as these
functions are called from suspend/resume paths which are already serialized
by the PM core
Fix this by removing the spinlock from xgbe_powerdown() and xgbe_powerup()
Fixes: c5aa9e3b8156 ("amd-xgbe: Initial AMD 10GbE platform driver")
