value. Controllers that always require "store and forward" mode( Davicom and PNIC 82C168) have no way to recover from TX underrun except completely reinitializing hardware. Previously only Davicom was reinitialized and the TX FIFO threshold was changed not to use "store and forward" mode after reinitialization since the default FIFO threshold value was 0. This effectively disabled Davicom controller's "store and forward" mode once it encountered TX underruns. In theory, this can cause watchodg timeouts. Intel 21143 controller requires TX MAC should be idle before changing TX FIFO threshold. So driver tried to disable TX MAC and checked whether it saw the idle state of TX MAC. Driver should perform full hardware reinitialization on failing to enter to idle state and it should not touch TX MAC again once it performed full reinitialization. While I'm here remove resetting TX FIFO threshold to 0 when interface is put into down state. If driver ever encountered TX underrun, it's likely to trigger TX underrun again whenever interface is brought to up again. Keeping old/learned TX FIFO threshold value shall reduce the chance of seeing TX underrns in next run. |
