From 976ee3b21119dcf5c6d96233d688a1453f29fa83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shannon Nelson Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2020 20:41:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ionic: wait on queue start until after IFF_UP The netif_running() test looks at __LINK_STATE_START which gets set before ndo_open() is called, there is a window of time between that and when the queues are actually ready to be run. If ionic_check_link_status() notices that the link is up very soon after netif_running() becomes true, it might try to run the queues before they are ready, causing all manner of potential issues. Since the netdev->flags IFF_UP isn't set until after ndo_open() returns, we can wait for that before we allow ionic_check_link_status() to start the queues. On the way back to close, __LINK_STATE_START is cleared before calling ndo_stop(), and IFF_UP is cleared after. Both of these need to be true in order to safely stop the queues from ionic_check_link_status().
