      mv643xx_eth: enforce multiple-of-8-bytes receive buffer size restriction · abe78717
      Lennert Buytenhek authored 
      The mv643xx_eth hardware ignores the lower three bits of the buffer
size field in receive descriptors, causing the reception of full-sized
packets to fail at some MTUs.  Fix this by rounding the size of
allocated receive buffers up to a multiple of eight bytes.

While we are at it, add a bit of extra space to each receive buffer so
that we can handle multiple vlan tags on ingress.

      mv643xx_eth: fix NULL pointer dereference in rxq_process() · 9e1f3772
      Lennert Buytenhek authored 
      When we are low on memory, the assumption that every descriptor in the
receive ring will have an skbuff associated with it does not hold.

rxq_process() was assuming that if the receive descriptor it is working
on is not owned by the hardware, it can safely be processed and handed
to the networking stack.  But a descriptor in the receive ring not being
owned by the hardware can also happen when we are low on memory and did
not manage to refill the receive ring fully.

This patch changes rxq_process()'s bailout condition from "the first
receive descriptor to be processed is owned by the hardware" to "the
first receive descriptor to be processed is owned by the hardware OR
the number of valid receive descriptors in the ring is zero".

      mv643xx_eth: fix inconsistent lock semantics · 8e0b1bf6
      Lennert Buytenhek authored 
      Nicolas Pitre noted that mv643xx_eth_poll was incorrectly using
non-IRQ-safe locks while checking whether to wake up the netdevice's
transmit queue.  Convert the locking to *_irq() variants, since we
are running from softirq context where interrupts are enabled.

      mv643xx_eth: fix double add_timer() on the receive oom timer · 92c70f27
      Lennert Buytenhek authored 
      Commit 12e4ab79 ("mv643xx_eth: be
more agressive about RX refill") changed the condition for the receive
out-of-memory timer to be scheduled from "the receive ring is empty"
to "the receive ring is not full".

This can lead to a situation where the receive out-of-memory timer is
pending because a previous rxq_refill() didn't manage to refill the
receive ring entirely as a result of being out of memory, and
rxq_refill() is then called again as a side effect of a packet receive
interrupt, and that rxq_refill() call then again does not succeed to
refill the entire receive ring with fresh empty skbuffs because we are
still out of memory, and then tries to call add_timer() on the already
scheduled out-of-memory timer.

This patch fixes this issue by changing the add_timer() call in
rxq_refill() to a mod_timer() call.  If the OOM timer was not already
scheduled, this will behave as before, whereas if it was already
scheduled, this patch will push back its firing time a bit, which is
safe because we've (unsuccessfully) attempted to refill the receive
ring just before we do this.
