[PATCH v4 net 0/2] net: enetc: safely reinitialize TX BD ring when it has unsent frames

[PATCH v4 net 0/2] net: enetc: safely reinitialize TX BD ring when it has unsent frames

[Wei Fang]

Currently the driver does not reset the producer index register (PIR) and
consumer index register (CIR) when initializing a TX BD ring. The driver
only reads the PIR and CIR and initializes the software indexes. If the
TX BD ring is reinitialized when it still contains unsent frames, its PIR
and CIR will not be equal after the reinitialization. However, the BDs
between CIR and PIR have been freed and become invalid and this can lead
to a hardware malfunction, causing the TX BD ring will not work perperly.

Since the PIR and CIR are sofeware-configurable on ENETC v4. Therefore,
the driver must reset them if they are not equal when reinitializing
the TX BD ring.

However, resetting the PIR and CIR alone is insufficient, it cannot
completely solve the problem. When a link-down event occurs while the TX
BD ring is transmitting frames, subsequent reinitialization of the TX BD
ring may cause it to malfunction. Because enetc4_pl_mac_link_down() only
clears PMa_COMMAND_CONFIG[TX_EN] to disable MAC transmit data path. It
doesn't set PORT[TXDIS] to 1 to flush the TX BD ring. Therefore, it is
not safe to reinitialize the TX BD ring at this point.

To safely reinitialize the TX BD ring after a link-down event, we checked
with the NETC IP team, a proper Ethernet MAC graceful stop is necessary.
Therefore, add the Ethernet MAC graceful stop to the link-down event
handler enetc4_pl_mac_link_down(). Note that this patch set is not
applicable to ENETC v1 (LS1028A).

[PATCH v4 net 1/2] net: enetc: reset PIR and CIR if they are not equal when initializing TX ring

[Wei Fang]

Currently the driver does not reset the producer index register (PIR) and
consumer index register (CIR) when initializing a TX BD ring. The driver
only reads the PIR and CIR and initializes the software indexes. If the
TX BD ring is reinitialized when it still contains unsent frames, its PIR
and CIR will not be equal after the reinitialization. However, the BDs
between CIR and PIR have been freed and become invalid and this can lead
to a hardware malfunction, causing the TX BD ring will not work perperly.

For ENETC v4, it supports software to set the PIR and CIR, so the driver
can reset these two registers if they are not equal when reinitializing
the TX BD ring. Therefore, add this solution for ENETC v4. Note that this
patch does not work for ENETC v1 because it does not support software to
set the PIR and CIR.

[PATCH v4 net 2/2] net: enetc: add graceful stop to safely reinitialize the TX Ring

[Wei Fang]

For ENETC v4, the PIR and CIR will be reset if they are not equal when
reinitializing the TX BD ring. However, resetting the PIR and CIR alone
is insufficient. When a link-down event occurs while the TX BD ring is
transmitting frames, subsequent reinitialization of the TX BD ring may
cause it to malfunction. For example, the below steps can reproduce the
problem.

1. Unplug the cable when the TX BD ring is busy transmitting frames.
2. Disable the network interface (ifconfig eth0 down).
3. Re-enable the network interface (ifconfig eth0 up).
4. Plug in the cable, the TX BD ring may fail to transmit packets.

When the link-down event occurs, enetc4_pl_mac_link_down() only clears
PMa_COMMAND_CONFIG[TX_EN] to disable MAC transmit data path. It doesn't
set PORT[TXDIS] to 1 to flush the TX BD ring. Therefore, reinitializing
the TX BD ring at this point is unsafe. To safely reinitialize the TX BD
ring after a link-down event, we checked with the NETC IP team, a proper
Ethernet MAC graceful stop is necessary. Therefore, add the Ethernet MAC
graceful stop to the link-down event handler enetc4_pl_mac_link_down().

After communicating with Claudiu, the patch still has a minor flaw: some registers
do not exist on pseudo MAC, and the driver does not prevent access, although it
does not cause any problems.

I will add a new patch to this patch set to fix the issue.
