[PATCH net-next 1/3] net: bcmgenet: cleanup for bcmgenet_xmit()

[Petri Gynther]

1. Readability: Move nr_frags assignment a few lines down in order
   to bundle index -> ring -> txq calculations together.
2. Readability: Add parentheses around nr_frags + 1.
3. Minor fix: Stop the Tx queue and throw the error message only if
   the Tx queue hasn't already been stopped.

[PATCH net-next 3/3] net: bcmgenet: fix dmadesc_set()

[Petri Gynther]

dmadesc_set() is used for setting the Tx buffer DMA address, length,
and status bits on a Tx ring descriptor when a frame is being Tx'ed.

Always set the Tx buffer DMA address first, before updating the length
and status bits, i.e. giving the Tx descriptor to the hardware.

Does this fix any real bug you have observed? The hardware won't
transmit anything until you start writing the correct TDMA producer
index. Also, dmadesc_set_length_status and dmadesc_set_addr both use
I/O accessors which use a volatile, so they should not be re-ordered
relative to each other.

I do agree that the change looks like how it should be done, I am just
questioning the qualification of this as a fix or not.

Thanks!

You are right. Nothing is transmitted until TDMA producer index is
incremented, and that happens after dmadesc_set() has been called.

So, this is really just a cleanup. Perhaps not worth it, after all.

But I do have a question -- do we need wmb() in bcmgenet_xmit(), just
before we kick the TDMA producer index, to ensure Tx descriptor writes
have been completed?

OK, this is fine as a cleanup, and the typical logic is to write the
address first and the length/status second in case of descriptor-based
DMA-backed NICs, so why not.

Humm, that is a good question. We definitively need to make sure that
the writes to prod_index completes, since that variable is stored in
DRAM/normal memory, so subject to pre-fetching based on the memory
attributes (at least on ARM). It seems to me like there is a direct
dependency though, so by the time we use ring->prod_index, the CPU
should have ensured that all writes are complete.

Not needed from C language point of view, but I personally like it
better that way.

Also, making it consistent with these:
bcmgenet.c:1227: if (ring->free_bds > (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1)) {
bcmgenet.c:1523: if (ring->free_bds <= (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1))
