A number of tx queue wake-up events went missing due to the outlined scenario below. Start state is a pool of 16 tx URBs, active tx_urbs count = 15, with the netdev tx queue open. CPU #1 [softirq] CPU #2 [softirq] start_xmit() tx_acknowledge() ................ ................ atomic_inc(&tx_urbs); if (atomic_read(&tx_urbs) >= 16) { --> atomic_dec(&tx_urbs); netif_wake_queue(); return; <-- netif_stop_queue(); } At the end, the correct state expected is a 15 tx_urbs count value with the tx queue state _open_. Due to the race, we get the same tx_urbs value but with the tx queue state _stopped_. The wake-up event is completely lost. Thus avoid hand-rolled concurrency mechanisms and use a proper lock for contexts and tx queue protection. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
