Subject: [PATCH v2] stmmac: troubleshoot unexpected bits in des0 & des1
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2015 11:07:26 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1435133246-15776-1-git-send-email-abrodkin@synopsys.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150624.001840.1867851321247997506.davem@davemloft.net>

Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes
care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1"
fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits
set because of the following factors:

 [1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with
     dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so
     it will be filled with garbage.

 [2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC
     controller (for example error flags etc).

And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1"
fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block.

This change addresses both items above with:

 [1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple
     dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is
     zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because
     this allocation only happens once on driver probe.

 [2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields
     of all buffer descriptors during initialization of
     DMA transfer.
