From: Vincent Whitchurch vincent.whitchurch@axis.com Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2021 16:51:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: Avoid DMA_CHAN_CONTROL write if no Split Header support

The driver assumes that split headers can be enabled/disabled without stopping/starting the device, so it writes DMA_CHAN_CONTROL from stmmac_set_features(). However, on my system (IP v5.10a without Split Header support), simply writing DMA_CHAN_CONTROL when DMA is running (for example, with the commands below) leads to a TX watchdog timeout.

host$ socat TCP-LISTEN:1024,fork,reuseaddr - & device$ ethtool -K eth0 tso off device$ ethtool -K eth0 tso on device$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10 | socat - TCP4:host:1024 <tx watchdog timeout>

Note that since my IP is configured without Split Header support, the driver always just reads and writes the same value to the DMA_CHAN_CONTROL register.

I don't have access to any platforms with Split Header support so I don't know if these writes to the DMA_CHAN_CONTROL while DMA is running actually work properly on such systems. I could not find anything in the databook that says that DMA_CHAN_CONTROL should not be written when the DMA is running.

But on systems without Split Header support, there is in any case no need to call enable_sph() in stmmac_set_features() at all since SPH can never be toggled, so we can avoid the watchdog timeout there by skipping this call.
