net: ethernet: davinci_cpdma: Add boundary for rx and tx descriptors
When there is heavy transmission traffic in the CPDMA, then Rx descriptors memory is also utilized as tx desc memory looses all rx descriptors and the driver stops working then. This patch adds boundary for tx and rx descriptors in bd ram dividing the descriptor memory to ensure that during heavy transmission tx doesn't use rx descriptors. This patch is already applied to davinci_emac driver, since CPSW and davici_dmac shares the same CPDMA, moving the boundry seperation from Davinci EMAC driver to CPDMA driver which was done in the following commit commit 86d8c07f Author: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de> Date: Tue Jan 3 05:27:47 2012 +0000 net/davinci: do not use all descriptors for tx packets The driver uses a shared pool for both rx and tx descriptors. During open it queues fixed number of 128 descriptors for receive packets. For each received packet it tries to queue another descriptor. If this fails the descriptor is lost for rx. The driver has no limitation on tx descriptors to use, so it can happen during a nmap / ping -f attack that the driver allocates all descriptors for tx and looses all rx descriptors. The driver stops working then. To fix this limit the number of tx descriptors used to half of the descriptors available, the rx path uses the other half. Tested on a custom board using nmap / ping -f to the board from two different hosts. Signed-off-by: NMugunthan V N <mugunthanvnm@ti.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
