Subject: [PATCH 11/16] ionic: wait on queue start until after IFF_UP

From: Shannon Nelson <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2020 20:41:43 -0700

[ Upstream commit 976ee3b21119dcf5c6d96233d688a1453f29fa83 ]

The netif_running() test looks at __LINK_STATE_START which
gets set before ndo_open() is called, there is a window of
time between that and when the queues are actually ready to
be run.  If ionic_check_link_status() notices that the link is
up very soon after netif_running() becomes true, it might try
to run the queues before they are ready, causing all manner of
potential issues.  Since the netdev->flags IFF_UP isn't set
until after ndo_open() returns, we can wait for that before
we allow ionic_check_link_status() to start the queues.

On the way back to close, __LINK_STATE_START is cleared before
calling ndo_stop(), and IFF_UP is cleared after.  Both of
these need to be true in order to safely stop the queues
from ionic_check_link_status().

Fixes: 49d3b493673a ("ionic: disable the queues on link down")
