When enabling or disabling XSK pools in parallel to Tx traffic, kernel
crashes occur. For VLAN tagged frames that happens in stmmac_xmit() ->
dwmac4_set_vlan_tag() and for normal frames in stmmac_xmit() ->
dwmac4_set_addr(). Both of these functions access the Tx DMA descriptors.
The XDP pool (en|dis)ablement frees and reallocates the Tx DMA resources:
stmmac_disable_tx_queue:
__free_dma_tx_desc_resources
stmmac_enable_tx_queue:
__alloc_dma_tx_desc_resources
__init_dma_tx_desc_rings
NAPI is disabled during that allocation window, but the Tx queue is not
stopped. Therefore, add the stopping of the Tx queue during the enabling
and disabling of XSK pools.
The issue can be easily reproduced by:
1. Run iperf
2. Run application which opens an AF_XDP/ZC socket
Also add a dedicated queue check for the XDP Tx paths.
Fixes: 132c32ee5bc0 ("net: stmmac: Add TX via XDP zero-copy socket")
