[PATCH net 03/13] net: stmmac: Fix extended descriptors usage for jumbos in chain-mode

From: Serge Semin
Date: Mon Mar 13 2023 - 18:43:12 EST


If a DW MAC NIC is synthesized to support the extended descriptors, then
the driver uses dma_etx pointer to keep an array of once in the Tx DMA
Queue structures. For some reason the specific to the chained-mode
jumbo_frm() referred to the dma_tx pointer of DMA Tx Queue descriptor in
any case, which of course was initialized with NULL for the DW MACs
expecting extended descriptors being specified. So any attempt to send a
Jumbo frame in chain-mode caused "Unable to handle kernel paging request
at virtual address" kernel crash. Fix that by selecting a proper
descriptor pointer depending on whether the NIC supports extended
descriptors or not.

Fixes: c24602ef8664 ("stmmac: support extend descriptors")

Yeah, that Normal/Enhanced access pattern really annoying. Food for
thoughts about a more thorough cleanup of the driver.
