Subject: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rtl8169_poll

Hi all,

In the vanilla torvalds tree kernel on Ubuntu 22.04, commit 6.6.0-rc1-kcsan-00269-ge789286468a9,
KCSAN discovered a data-race in rtl8169_poll():

(The taint is not from the proprietary module, but triggered from the previous reported and unfixed bug.)

Apparently, it is this code:

static int rtl8169_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
{
	struct rtl8169_private *tp = container_of(napi, struct rtl8169_private, napi);
	struct net_device *dev = tp->dev;
	int work_done;

	rtl_tx(dev, tp, budget);

→	work_done = rtl_rx(dev, tp, budget);

	if (work_done < budget && napi_complete_done(napi, work_done))
		rtl_irq_enable(tp);

	return work_done;
}

and

static int rtl_rx(struct net_device *dev, struct rtl8169_private *tp, int budget)
{
	struct device *d = tp_to_dev(tp);
	int count;

	for (count = 0; count < budget; count++, tp->cur_rx++) {
		unsigned int pkt_size, entry = tp->cur_rx % NUM_RX_DESC;
		struct RxDesc *desc = tp->RxDescArray + entry;
		struct sk_buff *skb;
		const void *rx_buf;
		dma_addr_t addr;
		u32 status;

→		status = le32_to_cpu(desc->opts1);
		if (status & DescOwn)
			break;

		/* This barrier is needed to keep us from reading
		 * any other fields out of the Rx descriptor until
		 * we know the status of DescOwn
		 */
		dma_rmb();

		if (unlikely(status & RxRES)) {
.
.
.

The reason isn't obvious, so it might be interesting if this is a valid report and whether it caused spurious corruption
of the network data on Realtek 8169 compatible cards ...

Hope this helps.
