commit c0fd0fe745f5e8c568d898cd1513d0083e46204a upstream.

ftgmac100_alloc_rings() allocates rx_skbs, tx_skbs, rxdes, txdes, and
rx_scratch in stages. On intermediate failures it returned -ENOMEM
directly, leaking resources allocated earlier in the function.

Rework the failure path to use staged local unwind labels and free
allocated resources in reverse order before returning -ENOMEM. This
matches common netdev allocation cleanup style.

[ Upstream commit 4186c8d9e6af57bab0687b299df10ebd47534a0a ]

The driver must ensure TX descriptor updates are visible
before updating TX pointer and TX clear pointer.

This resolves TX hangs observed on AST2600 when running
iperf3.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit fef2843bb49f414d1523ca007d088071dee0e055 ]

Currently, the driver only enables RX interrupt to handle RX
packets and TX resources. Sometimes there is not RX traffic,
so the TX resource needs to wait for RX interrupt to free.
This situation will toggle the TX timeout watchdog when the MAC
TX ring has no more resources to transmit packets.
Therefore, enable TX interrupt to release TX resources at any time.

When I am verifying iperf3 over UDP, the network hangs.
Like the log below.

iperf3: error - the server has terminated

The network topology is FTGMAC connects directly to a PC.
UDP does not need to wait for ACK, unlike TCP.
Therefore, FTGMAC needs to enable TX interrupt to release TX resources instead
of waiting for the RX interrupt.

<title>net: ftgmac100: Disable hardware checksum on AST2600</title>

[ Upstream commit 6fd45e79e8b93b8d22fb8fe22c32fbad7e9190bd ]

The AST2600 when using the i210 NIC over NC-SI has been observed to
produce incorrect checksum results with specific MTU values. This was
first observed when sending data across a long distance set of networks.

On a local network, the following test was performed using a 1MB file of
random data.

On the receiver run this script:

 #!/bin/bash
 while [ 1 ]; do
        # Zero the stats
        nstat -r  &gt; /dev/null
        nc -l 9899 &gt; test-file
        # Check for checksum errors
        TcpInCsumErrors=$(nstat | grep TcpInCsumErrors)
        if [ -z "$TcpInCsumErrors" ]; then
                echo No TcpInCsumErrors
        else
                echo TcpInCsumErrors = $TcpInCsumErrors
        fi
 done

On an AST2600 system:

 # nc &lt;IP of  receiver host&gt; 9899 &lt; test-file

The test was repeated with various MTU values:

 # ip link set mtu 1410 dev eth0

The observed results:

 1500 - good
 1434 - bad
 1400 - good
 1410 - bad
 1420 - good

The test was repeated after disabling tx checksumming:

 # ethtool -K eth0 tx-checksumming off

And all MTU values tested resulted in transfers without error.

An issue with the driver cannot be ruled out, however there has been no
bug discovered so far.

David has done the work to take the original bug report of slow data
transfer between long distance connections and triaged it down to this
test case.

The vendor suspects this this is a hardware issue when using NC-SI. The
fixes line refers to the patch that introduced AST2600 support.

[ Upstream commit 3d2504524531990b32a0629cc984db44f399d161 ]

AST2600 MAC register 0x58 is writable only when the MAC clock is
enabled.  Usually, the MAC clock is enabled by the bootloader so
register 0x58 is set normally when the bootloader is involved.  To make
ast2600 ftgmac100 work without the bootloader, postpone the register
write until the clock is ready.

Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement
the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware
timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP.

Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to
implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands.

This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find
their way through the implementation.
