net: mvpp2: fix dma unmapping of TX buffers for fragments
Since commit 71ce391 ("net: mvpp2: enable proper per-CPU TX
buffers unmapping"), we are not correctly DMA unmapping TX buffers for
fragments.
Indeed, the mvpp2_txq_inc_put() function only stores in the
txq_cpu->tx_buffs[] array the physical address of the buffer to be
DMA-unmapped when skb != NULL. In addition, when DMA-unmapping, we use
skb_headlen(skb) to get the size to be unmapped. Both of this works fine
for TX descriptors that are associated directly to a SKB, but not the
ones that are used for fragments, with a NULL pointer as skb:
- We have a NULL physical address when calling DMA unmap
- skb_headlen(skb) crashes because skb is NULL
This causes random crashes when fragments are used.
To solve this problem, we need to:
- Store the physical address of the buffer to be unmapped
unconditionally, regardless of whether it is tied to a SKB or not.
- Store the length of the buffer to be unmapped, which requires a new
field.
Instead of adding a third array to store the length of the buffer to be
unmapped, and as suggested by David Miller, this commit refactors the
tx_buffs[] and tx_skb[] arrays of 'struct mvpp2_txq_pcpu' into a
separate structure 'mvpp2_txq_pcpu_buf', to which a 'size' field is
added. Therefore, instead of having three arrays to allocate/free, we
have a single one, which also improve data locality, reducing the
impact on the CPU cache.
