[PATCH net v3] net: tg3: guard napi_disable and pci_disable_device calls

From: Yury Murashka <hidden>
Date: 2026-05-25 09:49:17
Also in: lkml

During PCIe hot-plug events, uncorrectable errors can be reported and
AER recovery for the tg3 device is initiated by the AER kernel driver.
The tg3_io_error_detected function is the AER error recovery handler.

From tg3_io_error_detected, we call tg3_netif_stop->tg3_napi_disable->
napi_disable and return PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET on non-fatal error.
We expect that during AER recovery tg3_io_slot_reset and tg3_io_resume
will be called. But AER error recovery can fail. For example, when one
of PCIe devices on the same bus reports PCI_ERS_RESULT_NO_AER_DRIVER.
As a result, tg3_io_slot_reset and tg3_io_resume are not called, PCIe
device is disabled and NAPI is disabled (pci_disable_device and
napi_disable are called from tg3_io_error_detected). Then we can try to
disable PCIe link and napi_disable will be called again:

  napi_disable+0x1b/0x1b0
  tg3_napi_disable+0x89/0xa0 [tg3]
  tg3_netif_stop+0x37/0xe3 [tg3]
  tg3_stop+0x30/0x160 [tg3]
  tg3_close+0x2a/0x60 [tg3]
  __dev_close_many+0xad/0x130
  dev_close_many+0xb2/0x190
  unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0x19d/0xa00
  unregister_netdevice_queue+0xf8/0x140
  unregister_netdev+0x1c/0x30
  tg3_remove_one+0xaa/0x150 [tg3]
  pci_device_remove+0x42/0xb0
  device_release_driver_internal+0x19c/0x200
  pci_stop_bus_device+0x85/0xb0
  pci_stop_bus_device+0x2c/0xb0
  pci_stop_bus_device+0x2c/0xb0
  pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device+0x12/0x20
  pciehp_unconfigure_device+0x9f/0x160
  pciehp_disable_slot+0x67/0x100
  pciehp_handle_presence_or_link_change+0x77/0x350

This is not expected by napi_disable and a thread can be locked in
napi_disable forever. We have pcierr_recovery to cover a similar issue,
but for fatal errors. We cannot reuse this flag because it is reset in
tg3_io_resume, but it is not called when AER recovery fails.

Similarly, if an AER error is reported and tg3_io_error_detected calls
pci_disable_device, a subsequent device removal via tg3_remove_one or
tg3_shutdown will call pci_disable_device again for the already-disabled
device.

Add a napi_enabled flag to struct tg3 to track whether napi_enable has
been called. Guard tg3_napi_disable() so it returns early if NAPI was
not previously enabled. Also guard pci_disable_device() calls in
tg3_remove_one() and tg3_shutdown() with pci_is_enabled() to avoid
disabling an already-disabled device.
