sh_eth: Fix skb alloc size and alignment adjust rule.
and it has serious problems. Well, actually the code has
always been broken in this area.
+ /* The size of the buffer is a multiple of 16 bytes. */
+ rxdesc->buffer_length = ALIGN(mdp->rx_buf_sz, 16);
+ dma_map_single(&ndev->dev, skb->data, rxdesc->buffer_length,
+ DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
rxdesc->addr = virt_to_phys(PTR_ALIGN(skb->data, 4));
rxdesc->status = cpu_to_edmac(mdp, RD_RACT | RD_RFP);
It doesn't make any sense to call dma_map_single() if you aren't
even going to use the return value. The DMA mapping created is
the whole point of calling this function.
And then later we pass:
dma_sync_single_for_cpu(&ndev->dev, rxdesc->addr,
- mdp->rx_buf_sz,
+ ALIGN(mdp->rx_buf_sz, 16),
DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
rxdesc->addr as the "DMA address", but that must be the return value
from dma_map_single() not what you've actually stored there which is
virt_to_phys() run on the skb->data.
This code must be fixed to:
1) Put the return value from dma_map_single() into a local variable,
and check for mapping errors.
2) On success put that return value into rxdesc->addr
