[PATCH 4.14 91/92] net: stmmac: Set dma ring length before enabling the DMA

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Apr 18 2019 - 14:22:52 EST


From: Lars Persson <lars.persson@xxxxxxxx>

This was fixed in upstream by commit 7d9e6c5afab6 ("net: stmmac: Integrate
XGMAC into main driver flow") that is a new feature commit.

We found a race condition in the DMA init sequence that hits if the
PHY already has link up during stmmac_hw_setup. Since the ring length
was programmed after enabling the RX path, we might receive a packet
before the correct ring length is programmed. When that happened we
could not get reliable interrupts for DMA RX and the MTL complained
about RX FIFO overrun.
