Packet queue state is over used to determine SDMA descriptor availablitity and packet queue request state. cpu 0 ret = user_sdma_send_pkts(req, pcount); cpu 0 if (atomic_read(&pq->n_reqs)) cpu 1 IRQ user_sdma_txreq_cb calls pq_update() (state to _INACTIVE) cpu 0 xchg(&pq->state, SDMA_PKT_Q_ACTIVE); At this point pq->n_reqs == 0 and pq->state is incorrectly SDMA_PKT_Q_ACTIVE. The close path will hang waiting for the state to return to _INACTIVE. This can also change the state from _DEFERRED to _ACTIVE. However, this is a mostly benign race. Remove the racy code path. Use n_reqs to determine if a packet queue is active or not.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
