Message-ID: <20231019071346.55949-1-mschmidt@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2023 09:13:46 +0200 From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@...hat.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: Sudheer Mogilappagari <sudheer.mogilappagari@...el.com>, Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@...el.com>, Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>, Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@...el.com>, intel-wired-lan@...ts.osuosl.org Subject: [PATCH net] iavf: initialize waitqueues before starting watchdog_task It is not safe to initialize the waitqueues after queueing the watchdog_task. It will be using them. The chance of this causing a real problem is very small, because there will be some sleeping before any of the waitqueues get used. I got a crash only after inserting an artificial sleep in iavf_probe. Queue the watchdog_task as the last step in iavf_probe. Add a comment to prevent repeating the mistake.
