Subject: [PATCH net v3 06/16] net: macb: match skb_reserve(skb, NET_IP_ALIGN) with HW alignment
Date: Fri, 08 Aug 2025 18:52:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250808-macb-fixes-v3-6-08f1fcb5179f@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250808-macb-fixes-v3-0-08f1fcb5179f@bootlin.com>
If HW is Receive-Side-Coalescing capable, it cannot add dummy bytes at
the start of IP packets. Alignment (ie number of dummy bytes) is
configured using the RBOF field inside the NCFGR register.
On the software side, the skb_reserve(skb, NET_IP_ALIGN) call must only
be done if those dummy bytes are added by the hardware; notice the
skb_reserve() is done AFTER writing the address to the device.
We cannot do the skb_reserve() call BEFORE writing the address because
the address field ignores the low 2/3 bits. Conclusion: in some cases,
we risk not being able to respect the NET_IP_ALIGN value (which is
picked based on unaligned CPU access performance).
Current hardware (assuming it is working) falls in either category:
- RSC-incapable or,
- RSC-capable and NET_IP_ALIGN=0 (arm64/powerpc/x86).
