    stmmac: troubleshoot unexpected bits in des0 & des1 · f1590670
    Alexey Brodkin 提交于
    Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes
    care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1"
    fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits
    set because of the following factors:
    
     [1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with
         dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so
         it will be filled with garbage.
    
     [2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC
         controller (for example error flags etc).
    
    And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1"
    fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block.
    
    This change addresses both items above with:
    
     [1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple
         dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is
         zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because
         this allocation only happens once on driver probe.
    
     [2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields
         of all buffer descriptors during initialization of
         DMA transfer.
    
    And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent()
    counterpart as well.
