In the original ftmac100_interrupt(), the interrupts are only disabled when the condition "netif_running(netdev)" is true. However, this condition causes kerenl hang in the following case. When the user requests to disable the network device, kernel will clear the bit __LINK_STATE_START from the dev->state and then call the driver's ndo_stop function. Network device interrupts are not blocked during this process. If an interrupt occurs between clearing __LINK_STATE_START and stopping network device, kernel cannot disable the interrupts due to the condition "netif_running(netdev)" in the ISR. Hence, kernel will hang due to the continuous interruption of the network device. In order to solve the above problem, the interrupts of the network device should always be disabled in the ISR without being restricted by the condition "netif_running(netdev)".

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.
