linux-toradex.git/drivers/net, branch v3.0.23 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules davinci_emac: Do not free all rx dma descriptors during init 2012-03-01T00:34:32+00:00 Christian Riesch christian.riesch@omicron.at 2012-02-23T01:14:17+00:00 841099b95f7490cb33f1af48aac8e619ba1712c7 commit 5d69703263d588dbb03f4e57091afd8942d96e6d upstream. This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit 0a5f38467765ee15478db90d81e40c269c8dda20 davinci_emac: Add Carrier Link OK check in Davinci RX Handler Said commit adds a check whether the carrier link is ok. If the link is not ok, the skb is freed and no new dma descriptor added to the rx dma channel. This causes trouble during initialization when the carrier status has not yet been updated. If a lot of packets are received while netif_carrier_ok returns false, all dma descriptors are freed and the rx dma transfer is stopped. The bug occurs when the board is connected to a network with lots of traffic and the ifconfig down/up is done, e.g., when reconfiguring the interface with DHCP. The bug can be reproduced by flood pinging the davinci board while doing ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth0 up on the board. After that, the rx path stops working and the overrun value reported by ifconfig is counting up. This patch reverts commit 0a5f38467765ee15478db90d81e40c269c8dda20 and instead issues warnings only if cpdma_chan_submit returns -ENOMEM.

commit 0a5f38467765ee15478db90d81e40c269c8dda20
davinci_emac: Add Carrier Link OK check in Davinci RX Handler

Said commit adds a check whether the carrier link is ok. If the link is
not ok, the skb is freed and no new dma descriptor added to the rx dma
channel. This causes trouble during initialization when the carrier
status has not yet been updated. If a lot of packets are received while
netif_carrier_ok returns false, all dma descriptors are freed and the
rx dma transfer is stopped.

The bug occurs when the board is connected to a network with lots of
traffic and the ifconfig down/up is done, e.g., when reconfiguring
the interface with DHCP.

The bug can be reproduced by flood pinging the davinci board while doing
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
on the board.

After that, the rx path stops working and the overrun value reported
by ifconfig is counting up.

This patch reverts commit 0a5f38467765ee15478db90d81e40c269c8dda20
and instead issues warnings only if cpdma_chan_submit returns -ENOMEM.
