Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] net: xilinx: axienet: Fix BQL accounting for multi-BD TX packets
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 20:23:52 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324145353.1899248-3-suraj.gupta2@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324145353.1899248-1-suraj.gupta2@amd.com>
When a TX packet spans multiple buffer descriptors (scatter-gather),
the per-BD byte count is accumulated into a local variable that resets
on each NAPI poll. If the BDs for a single packet complete across
different polls, the earlier bytes are lost and never credited to BQL.
This causes BQL to think bytes are permanently in-flight, eventually
stalling the TX queue.
Fix this by replacing the local accumulator with a persistent counter
(tx_compl_bytes) that survives across polls and is reset only after
updating BQL and stats.
Fixes: c900e49d58eb ("net: xilinx: axienet: Implement BQL")
