Commit 719c57197010 ("net: make napi_disable() symmetric with
enable") accidentally introduced a bug sometimes leading to a kernel
BUG when bringing an iface up/down under heavy traffic load.
Prior to this commit, napi_disable() was polling n->state until
none of (NAPIF_STATE_SCHED | NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC) is set and then
always flip them. Now there's a possibility to get away with the
NAPIF_STATE_SCHE unset as 'continue' drops us to the cmpxchg()
call with an uninitialized variable, rather than straight to
another round of the state check.
Error path looks like:
napi_disable():
unsigned long val, new; /* new is uninitialized */
do {
val = READ_ONCE(n->state); /* NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC and/or
NAPIF_STATE_SCHED is set */
if (val & (NAPIF_STATE_SCHED | NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC)) { /* true */
usleep_range(20, 200);
continue; /* go straight to the condition check */
}
new = val | <...>
} while (cmpxchg(&n->state, val, new) != val); /* state == val, cmpxchg()
writes garbage */
napi_enable():
do {
val = READ_ONCE(n->state);
BUG_ON(!test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &val)); /* 50/50 boom */
<...>
while the typical BUG splat is like:

Fix this by replacing 'do { } while (cmpxchg())' with an "infinite"
for-loop with an explicit break.
From v1 [0]:
- just use a for-loop to simplify both the fix and the existing
code (Eric).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
