commit c26a2c2ddc0115eb088873f5c309cf46b982f522 upstream.

The driver wrongly assumes that it is the only entity that can set the
SKBTX_IN_PROGRESS bit of the current skb. Therefore, in the
gfar_clean_tx_ring function, where the TX timestamp is collected if
necessary, the aforementioned bit is used to discriminate whether or not
the TX timestamp should be delivered to the socket's error queue.

But a stacked driver such as a DSA switch can also set the
SKBTX_IN_PROGRESS bit, which is actually exactly what it should do in
order to denote that the hardware timestamping process is undergoing.

Therefore, gianfar would misinterpret the "in progress" bit as being its
own, and deliver a second skb clone in the socket's error queue,
completely throwing off a PTP process which is not expecting to receive
it, _even though_ TX timestamping is not enabled for gianfar.

There have been discussions [0] as to whether non-MAC drivers need or
not to set SKBTX_IN_PROGRESS at all (whose purpose is to avoid sending 2
timestamps, a sw and a hw one, to applications which only expect one).
But as of this patch, there are at least 2 PTP drivers that would break
in conjunction with gianfar: the sja1105 DSA switch and the felix
switch, by way of its ocelot core driver.

So regardless of that conclusion, fix the gianfar driver to not do stuff
based on flags set by others and not intended for it.

commit 3f4b7e6a2be982fd8820a2b54d46dd9c351db899 upstream.

Make sure the SONIC's DMA engine is idle before altering the transmit
and receive descriptors. Add a helper for this as it will be needed
again.

commit 9e311820f67e740f4fb8dcb82b4c4b5b05bdd1a5 upstream.

The SONIC can sometimes advance its rx buffer pointer (RRP register)
without advancing its rx descriptor pointer (CRDA register). As a result
the index of the current rx descriptor may not equal that of the current
rx buffer. The driver mistakenly assumes that they are always equal.
This assumption leads to incorrect packet lengths and possible packet
duplication. Avoid this by calling a new function to locate the buffer
corresponding to a given descriptor.

commit e3885f576196ddfc670b3d53e745de96ffcb49ab upstream.

The driver accesses descriptor memory which is simultaneously accessed by
the chip, so the compiler must not be allowed to re-order CPU accesses.
sonic_buf_get() used 'volatile' to prevent that. sonic_buf_put() should
have done so too but was overlooked.

commit 865ad2f2201dc18685ba2686f13217f8b3a9c52c upstream.

The netif_stop_queue() call in sonic_send_packet() races with the
netif_wake_queue() call in sonic_interrupt(). This causes issues
like "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (macsonic): transmit queue 0 timed out".
Fix this by disabling interrupts when accessing tx_skb[] and next_tx.
Update a comment to clarify the synchronization properties.

commit 6e1cdedcf0362fed3aedfe051d46bd7ee2a85fe1 upstream.

NETDEV_TX_BUSY really should only be used by drivers that call
netif_tx_stop_queue() at the wrong moment. If dma_map_single() is
failed to map tx DMA buffer, it might trigger an infinite loop.
This patch use NETDEV_TX_OK instead of NETDEV_TX_BUSY, and change
printk to pr_err_ratelimited.

commit aa604651d523b1493988d0bf6710339f3ee60272 upstream.

Currently, though the FDB entry is added to VF, it does not appear in
RAR filters. VF driver only allows to add 10 entries. Attempting to add
another causes an error. This patch removes limitation and allows use of
all free RAR entries for the FDB if needed.
