Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] can: kvaser_usb: Fix tx queue start/stop race
conditions
From: Ahmed S. Darwish <ahmed.darwish@...eo.com>
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.

Changelog v4:
-------------
Improve the commit log not to give the impression of a
softirq preempting another softirq, which can never happen. The
race condition occurs by having the softirqs running in parallel.
For why are we waking up the queue inside the newly created
critical section, kindly check the explanation here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1907377
Archived at: http://www.webcitation.org/6X1SNi708
Meanwhile, I've been running the driver for 30 hours now under
very heavy and ordered "cangen -Di" traffic from both ends.
Analyzing the tens of gigabytes candump traces (generated, in
parallel, using in-kernel CAN ID filters to avoid SO_RXQ_OVFL
overflows) shows that all the frames were sent and received in
the expected sequence.
Changelog v3:
-------------
Add missing spin_lock_init(). Run driver tests with locking
and memory management debugging options on.
Changelog v2:
-------------
Put this bugfix patch at the top of the series
