[ Upstream commit 426a593e641ebf0d9288f0a2fcab644a86820220 ] In the original ftmac100_interrupt(), the interrupts are only disabled when the condition "netif_running(netdev)" is true. However, this condition causes kerenl hang in the following case. When the user requests to disable the network device, kernel will clear the bit __LINK_STATE_START from the dev->state and then call the driver's ndo_stop function. Network device interrupts are not blocked during this process. If an interrupt occurs between clearing __LINK_STATE_START and stopping network device, kernel cannot disable the interrupts due to the condition "netif_running(netdev)" in the ISR. Hence, kernel will hang due to the continuous interruption of the network device. In order to solve the above problem, the interrupts of the network device should always be disabled in the ISR without being restricted by the condition "netif_running(netdev)".

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
