net: macb: Fix race condition in driver when Rx frame is dropped
Under heavy Rx load, observed that the Hw is updating the USED bit and it is not updating the received frame status to the BD control field. This could be lack of resources for processing the BDs at high data rates. Driver drops the frame associated with this BD but not clearing the USED bit. So, this is causing hang condition as Hw expects USED bit to be cleared for this BD. Signed-off-by: Punnaiah Choudary Kalluri <punnaia@xilinx.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
