The reason for this bad behavior is mvneta_rxq_drop_pkts(), which calls
dma_unmap_single() on already-freed memory. So we need to switch the

The fixed_phy infrastructure is done in a way that is optional,
by providing 'static inline' helper functions doing nothing in
include/linux/phy_fixed.h for all its APIs. However, three out
of the four users (DSA, BCMGENET, and SYSTEMPORT) always
'select FIXED_PHY', presumably because they need that.
MVNETA is the fourth one, and if that is built-in but FIXED_PHY
is configured as a loadable module, we get a link error:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `mvneta_fixed_link_update':

The PP2 controller is capable of per-CPU TX processing, which means there are
per-CPU banked register sets and queues. Current version of the driver supports
TX packet coalescing - once on given CPU sent packets amount reaches a threshold
value, an IRQ occurs. However, there is a single interrupt line responsible for
CPU0/1 TX and RX events (the latter is not per-CPU, the hardware does not
support RSS).
When the top-half executes the interrupt cause is not known. This is why in
NAPI poll function, along with RX processing, IRQ cause register on both
CPU's is accessed in order to determine on which of them the TX coalescing
threshold might have been reached. Thus the egress processing and releasing the
buffers is able to take place on the corresponding CPU. Hitherto approach lead
to an illegal usage of on_each_cpu function in softirq context.
The problem is solved by resigning from TX coalescing interrupts and separating
egress finalization from NAPI processing. For that purpose a method of using
hrtimer is introduced. In main transmit function (mvpp2_tx) buffers are released
once a software coalescing threshold is reached. In case not all the data is
processed a timer is set on this CPU - in its interrupt context a tasklet is
scheduled in which all queues are processed. At once only one timer per-CPU can
be running, which is controlled by a dedicated flag.
This commit removes TX processing from NAPI polling function, disables hardware
coalescing and enables hrtimer with tasklet, using new per-CPU port structure
(mvpp2_port_pcpu).

mvpp2 driver allows usage of per-CPU TX processing. Once the packets are
prepared independetly on each CPU, the hardware enqueues the descriptors in
common TX queue. After they are sent, the buffers and associated sk_buffs
should be released on the corresponding CPU.
This is why a special index is maintained in order to point to the right data to
be released after transmission takes place. Each per-CPU TX queue comprise an
array of sent sk_buffs, freed in mvpp2_txq_bufs_free function. However, the
index was used there also for obtaining a descriptor (and therefore a buffer to
be DMA-unmapped) from common TX queue, which was wrong, because it was not
referring to the current CPU.
This commit enables proper unmapping of sent data buffers by indexing them in
per-CPU queues using a dedicated array for keeping their physical addresses.

With the actual code, if a memory allocation error happens while
refilling a Rx descriptor, then the original Rx buffer is both passed
to the networking stack (in a SKB) and let in the Rx ring. This leads
to various kernel oops and crashes.
As a fix, this patch moves Rx descriptor refilling ahead of building
SKB with the associated Rx buffer. In case of a memory allocation
failure, data is dropped and the original DMA buffer is put back into
the Rx ring.

no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.
However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text

net: mv643xx_eth: Use dma_map_single() to map the skb fragments
caused a nasty regression by removing the support for highmem skb
fragments. By using page_address() to get the address of a fragment's
page, we are assuming a lowmem page. However, such assumption is incorrect,
as fragments can be in highmem pages, resulting in very nasty issues.
This commit fixes this by using the skb_frag_dma_map() helper,
which takes care of mapping the skb fragment properly. Additionally,
the type of mapping is now tracked, so it can be unmapped using
dma_unmap_page or dma_unmap_single when appropriate.
This commit also fixes the error path in txq_init() to release the
resources properly.

Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
"Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.
They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
just removing a line in a structure.
Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There
are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been

mvneta_tx() dereferences skb to get skb->len too late,
as hardware might have completed the transmit and TX completion
could have freed the skb from another cpu.

The mvneta driver sets the amount of Tx coalesce packets to 16 by
default. Normally that does not cause any trouble since the driver
uses a much larger Tx ring size (532 packets). But some sockets
might run with very small buffers, much smaller than the equivalent
of 16 packets. This is what ping is doing for example, by setting
SNDBUF to 324 bytes rounded up to 2kB by the kernel.
The problem is that there is no documented method to force a specific
packet to emit an interrupt (eg: the last of the ring) nor is it
possible to make the NIC emit an interrupt after a given delay.
In this case, it causes trouble, because when ping sends packets over
its raw socket, the few first packets leave the system, and the first
15 packets will be emitted without an IRQ being generated, so without
the skbs being freed. And since the socket's buffer is small, there's
no way to reach that amount of packets, and the ping ends up with
"send: no buffer available" after sending 6 packets. Running with 3
instances of ping in parallel is enough to hide the problem, because
with 6 packets per instance, that's 18 packets total, which is enough
to grant a Tx interrupt before all are sent.
The original driver in the LSP kernel worked around this design flaw
by using a software timer to clean up the Tx descriptors. This timer
was slow and caused terrible network performance on some Tx-bound
workloads (such as routing) but was enough to make tools like ping
work correctly.
Instead here, we simply set the packet counts before interrupt to 1.
This ensures that each packet sent will produce an interrupt. NAPI
takes care of coalescing interrupts since the interrupt is disabled
once generated.
No measurable performance impact nor CPU usage were observed on small
nor large packets, including when saturating the link on Tx, and this
fixes tools like ping which rely on too small a send buffer. If one
wants to increase this value for certain workloads where it is safe
to do so, "ethtool -C $dev tx-frames" will override this default
setting.
This fix needs to be applied to stable kernels starting with 3.10.

In sky2_change_mtu setting B0_IMSK to 0 may be delayed due to PCI write posting
which could result in irqs being still active when synchronize_irq is called.
Since we are not prepared to handle any further irqs after synchronize_irq
(our resources are freed after that) force the write by a consecutive read from
the same register.
Similar situation in sky2_all_down: Here we disabled irqs by a write to B0_IMSK
but did not ensure that this write took place before synchronize_irq. Fix that
too.

In pxa168_eth_open() the irqs are enabled before napi. This opens a tiny time
window in which the irq handler is processed, disables irqs but then is not able
to schedule the not yet activated napi, leaving irqs disabled forever (since
irqs are reenabled in napi poll function).
Fix this race by activating napi before irqs are activated.

If sky2->tx_le = pci_alloc_consistent() or sky2->tx_ring = kcalloc() in
sky2_alloc_buffers() fails, sky2->rx_ring = kcalloc() will never be called.
In this error case handling, sky2_rx_clean() is called from within
sky2_free_buffers().
In sky2_rx_clean() we find the following:
...
memset(sky2->rx_le, 0, RX_LE_BYTES);
...
This results in a memset using a NULL pointer and will crash the system.
