Subject: [PATCH 7.0.y 5/5] net: stmmac: fix transmit interrupt coalescing
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 15:01:36 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805100136.59101-5-arbabhaider649@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805100136.59101-1-arbabhaider649@gmail.com>

From: "Russell King (Oracle)" <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>

The accounting for transmit frames does not count the descriptors
correctly. It uses:

	tx_packets = (tx_q->cur_tx + 1) - first_tx;

however, these are indexes into a circular buffer, so cur_tx can be
less than first_tx, and when that happens, tx_packets becomes a very
large unsigned integer. When this is added to tx_q->tx_count_frames,
it has the effect of reducing the count of frames, possibly causing
it to also wrap to a very large unsigned integer.

Fix this by using CIRC_CNT() to calculate the number of descriptors
used.
