Currently we try to clear EDRRR and EDTRR and immediately continue to free buffers. This is unsafe because: - In general, register writes are not serialised with DMA, so we still have to wait for DMA to complete somehow - The R8A7790 (R-Car H2) manual states that the TX running flag cannot be cleared by writing to EDTRR - The same manual states that clearing the RX running flag only stops RX DMA at the next packet boundary I applied this patch to the driver to detect DMA writes to freed buffers: > --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c > +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c > @@ -1098,7 +1098,14 @@ static void sh_eth_ring_free(struct net_device *ndev) > /* Free Rx skb ringbuffer */ > if (mdp->rx_skbuff) { > for (i = 0; i < mdp->num_rx_ring; i++) > + memcpy(mdp->rx_skbuff[i]->data, > + "Hello, world", 12); > + msleep(100); > + for (i = 0; i < mdp->num_rx_ring; i++) { > + WARN_ON(memcmp(mdp->rx_skbuff[i]->data, > + "Hello, world", 12)); > dev_kfree_skb(mdp->rx_skbuff[i]); > + } > } > kfree(mdp->rx_skbuff); > mdp->rx_skbuff = NULL; then ran the loop: while ethtool -G eth0 rx 128 ; ethtool -G eth0 rx 64; do echo -n .; done and 'ping -f' toward the sh_eth port from another machine. The warning fired several times a minute. To fix these issues: - Deactivate all TX descriptors rather than writing to EDTRR - As there seems to be no way of telling when RX DMA is stopped, perform a soft reset to ensure that both DMA enginess are stopped - To reduce the possibility of the reset truncating a transmitted frame, disable egress and wait a reasonable time to reach a packet boundary before resetting - Update statistics before resetting (The 'reasonable time' does not allow for CS/CD in half-duplex mode, but half-duplex no longer seems reasonable!)
