Linux kernel source tree
6086f02a18
The mcp251xfd driver uses a TX FIFO for sending CAN frames and a TX Event FIFO
(TEF) for completed TX-requests.
The TEF event handling in the mcp251xfd_handle_tefif() function has a race
condition. It first increments the tx-ring's tail counter to signal that
there's room in the TX and TEF FIFO, then it increments the TEF FIFO in
hardware.
A running mcp251xfd_start_xmit() on a different CPU might not stop the txqueue
(as the tx-ring still shows free space). The next mcp251xfd_start_xmit() will
push a message into the chip and the TX complete event might overflow the TEF
FIFO.
This patch changes the order to fix the problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
