Prashant Malani 8481141246 r8152: Re-order napi_disable in rtl8152_close
Both rtl_work_func_t() and rtl8152_close() call napi_disable().
Since the two calls aren't protected by a lock, if the close
function starts executing before the work function, we can get into a
situation where the napi_disable() function is called twice in
succession (first by rtl8152_close(), then by set_carrier()).

In such a situation, the second call would loop indefinitely, since
rtl8152_close() doesn't call napi_enable() to clear the NAPI_STATE_SCHED
bit.

The rtl8152_close() function in turn issues a
cancel_delayed_work_sync(), and so it would wait indefinitely for the
rtl_work_func_t() to complete. Since rtl8152_close() is called by a
process holding rtnl_lock() which is requested by other processes, this
eventually leads to a system deadlock and crash.

Re-order the napi_disable() call to occur after the work function
disabling and urb cancellation calls are issued.

README

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.
