[PATCH net v2] net: usb: ipheth: stop RX URB on ndo_stop
From: raoxu
Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 01:10:52 EST
From: Xu Rao <raoxu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
ipheth_open() submits the RX URB, and a successful RX completion
resubmits it from ipheth_rcvbulk_callback(). ipheth_close() stops the
netdev queue and disables the carrier work, but leaves the RX URB
running.
After an administrative link down, an already submitted RX URB can
therefore complete, pass received packets to the networking stack, and
submit itself again even though the interface has been stopped.
Stop the RX URB from ndo_stop. Do not kill the TX URB: packets in a
successfully submitted TX URB have already been accounted as transmitted,
so let an in-flight TX complete normally after the queue has been
stopped.
usb_kill_urb() waits for a pending RX completion to finish and prevents
the completion handler from successfully resubmitting the URB.

v2:
- Kill only the RX URB and leave an in-flight TX URB to complete
normally, as pointed out by Oliver Neukum.
