When unplugging an r8152 adapter while the interface is UP, the NIC becomes unusable. usb->disconnect (aka rtl8152_disconnect) deletes napi. Then, rtl8152_disconnect calls unregister_netdev and that invokes netdev->ndo_stop (aka rtl8152_close). rtl8152_close tries to napi_disable, but the napi is already deleted by disconnect above. So the first while loop in napi_disable never finishes. This results in complete deadlock of the network layer as there is rtnl_mutex held by unregister_netdev. So avoid the call to napi_disable in rtl8152_close when the device is already gone. The other calls to usb_kill_urb, cancel_delayed_work_sync, netif_stop_queue etc. seem to be fine. The urb and netdev is not destroyed yet. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: linux-usb@vger.kernel.org Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
