commit 7a99afef17af66c276c1d6e6f4dbcac223eaf6ac upstream.

The amount of TX space in the hardware buffer is tracked in the tx_space
variable. The initial value is currently only set during driver probing.

After closing the interface and reopening it the tx_space variable has
the last value it had before close. If it is smaller than the size of
the first send packet after reopeing the interface the queue will be
stopped. The queue is woken up after receiving a TX interrupt but this
will never happen since we did not send anything.

This commit moves the initialization of the tx_space variable to the
ks8851_net_open function right before starting the TX queue. Also query
the value from the hardware instead of using a hard coded value.

Only the SPI chip variant is affected by this issue because only this
driver variant actually depends on the tx_space variable in the xmit
function.

[ Upstream commit 766607570becbd26cab6d66a544dd8d0d964df5a ]

This big patch sprinkles const on local variables and
function arguments which may refer to netdev-&gt;dev_addr.

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

Some of the changes here are not strictly required - const
is sometimes cast off but pointer is not used for writing.
It seems like it's still better to add the const in case
the code changes later or relevant -W flags get enabled
for the build.

No functional changes.

commit 3dc5d44545453de1de9c53cc529cc960a85933da upstream.

There is a bug in the ks8851 Ethernet driver that more data is written
to the hardware TX buffer than actually available. This is caused by
wrong accounting of the free TX buffer space.

The driver maintains a tx_space variable that represents the TX buffer
space that is deemed to be free. The ks8851_start_xmit_spi() function
adds an SKB to a queue if tx_space is large enough and reduces tx_space
by the amount of buffer space it will later need in the TX buffer and
then schedules a work item. If there is not enough space then the TX
queue is stopped.

The worker function ks8851_tx_work() dequeues all the SKBs and writes
the data into the hardware TX buffer. The last packet will trigger an
interrupt after it was send. Here it is assumed that all data fits into
the TX buffer.

In the interrupt routine (which runs asynchronously because it is a
threaded interrupt) tx_space is updated with the current value from the
hardware. Also the TX queue is woken up again.

Now it could happen that after data was sent to the hardware and before
handling the TX interrupt new data is queued in ks8851_start_xmit_spi()
when the TX buffer space had still some space left. When the interrupt
is actually handled tx_space is updated from the hardware but now we
already have new SKBs queued that have not been written to the hardware
TX buffer yet. Since tx_space has been overwritten by the value from the
hardware the space is not accounted for.

Now we have more data queued then buffer space available in the hardware
and ks8851_tx_work() will potentially overrun the hardware TX buffer. In
many cases it will still work because often the buffer is written out
fast enough so that no overrun occurs but for example if the peer
throttles us via flow control then an overrun may happen.

This can be fixed in different ways. The most simple way would be to set
tx_space to 0 before writing data to the hardware TX buffer preventing
the queuing of more SKBs until the TX interrupt has been handled. I have
chosen a slightly more efficient (and still rather simple) way and
track the amount of data that is already queued and not yet written to
the hardware. When new SKBs are to be queued the already queued amount
of data is honoured when checking free TX buffer space.

I tested this with a setup of two linked KS8851 running iperf3 between
the two in bidirectional mode. Before the fix I got a stall after some
minutes. With the fix I saw now issues anymore after hours.

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.
