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.

When SMP is enabled and spinlocks are actually functional then there is
a deadlock with the 'statelock' spinlock between ks8851_start_xmit_spi
and ks8851_irq:

This issue has not been identified earlier because tests were done on
a device with SMP disabled and so spinlocks were actually NOPs.

Now use spin_(un)lock_bh for TX queue related locking to avoid execution
of softirq work synchronously that would lead to a deadlock.

<title>net: ks8851: Fix another TX stall caused by wrong ISR flag handling</title>

<content type='text'>
Under some circumstances it may happen that the ks8851 Ethernet driver
stops sending data.

Currently the interrupt handler resets the interrupt status flags in the
hardware after handling TX. With this approach we may lose interrupts in
the time window between handling the TX interrupt and resetting the TX
interrupt status bit.

When all of the three following conditions are true then transmitting
data stops:

  - TX queue is stopped to wait for room in the hardware TX buffer
  - no queued SKBs in the driver (txq) that wait for being written to hw
  - hardware TX buffer is empty and the last TX interrupt was lost

This is because reenabling the TX queue happens when handling the TX
interrupt status but if the TX status bit has already been cleared then
this interrupt will never come.

With this commit the interrupt status flags will be cleared before they
are handled. That way we stop losing interrupts.

The wrong handling of the ISR flags was there from the beginning but
with commit 3dc5d4454545 ("net: ks8851: Fix TX stall caused by TX
buffer overrun") the issue becomes apparent.

Simon reported that ndo_change_mtu() methods were never
updated to use WRITE_ONCE(dev-&gt;mtu, new_mtu) as hinted
in commit 501a90c94510 ("inet: protect against too small
mtu values.")

We read dev-&gt;mtu without holding RTNL in many places,
with READ_ONCE() annotations.

It is time to take care of ndo_change_mtu() methods
to use corresponding WRITE_ONCE()

<title>net: ks8851: Queue RX packets in IRQ handler instead of disabling BHs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e0863634bf9f7cf36291ebb5bfa2d16632f79c49</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the driver uses local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() in its
IRQ handler to avoid triggering net_rx_action() softirq on exit from
netif_rx(). The net_rx_action() could trigger this driver .start_xmit
callback, which is protected by the same lock as the IRQ handler, so
calling the .start_xmit from netif_rx() from the IRQ handler critical
section protected by the lock could lead to an attempt to claim the
already claimed lock, and a hang.

The local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() approach works only in case
the IRQ handler is protected by a spinlock, but does not work if the
IRQ handler is protected by mutex, i.e. this works for KS8851 with
Parallel bus interface, but not for KS8851 with SPI bus interface.

Remove the BH manipulation and instead of calling netif_rx() inside
the IRQ handler code protected by the lock, queue all the received
SKBs in the IRQ handler into a queue first, and once the IRQ handler
exits the critical section protected by the lock, dequeue all the
queued SKBs and push them all into netif_rx(). At this point, it is
safe to trigger the net_rx_action() softirq, since the netif_rx()
call is outside of the lock that protects the IRQ handler.

<id>urn:sha1:be0384bf599cf1eb8d337517feeb732d71f75a6f</id>
<content type='text'>
The ks8851_irq() thread may call ks8851_rx_pkts() in case there are
any packets in the MAC FIFO, which calls netif_rx(). This netif_rx()
implementation is guarded by local_bh_disable() and local_bh_enable().
The local_bh_enable() may call do_softirq() to run softirqs in case
any are pending. One of the softirqs is net_rx_action, which ultimately
reaches the driver .start_xmit callback. If that happens, the system
hangs. The entire call chain is below:

ks8851_start_xmit_par from netdev_start_xmit
netdev_start_xmit from dev_hard_start_xmit
dev_hard_start_xmit from sch_direct_xmit
sch_direct_xmit from __dev_queue_xmit
__dev_queue_xmit from __neigh_update
__neigh_update from neigh_update
neigh_update from arp_process.constprop.0
arp_process.constprop.0 from __netif_receive_skb_one_core
__netif_receive_skb_one_core from process_backlog
process_backlog from __napi_poll.constprop.0
__napi_poll.constprop.0 from net_rx_action
net_rx_action from __do_softirq
__do_softirq from call_with_stack
call_with_stack from do_softirq
do_softirq from __local_bh_enable_ip
__local_bh_enable_ip from netif_rx
netif_rx from ks8851_irq
ks8851_irq from irq_thread_fn
irq_thread_fn from irq_thread
irq_thread from kthread
kthread from ret_from_fork

The hang happens because ks8851_irq() first locks a spinlock in
ks8851_par.c ks8851_lock_par() spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;ksp-&gt;lock, ...)
and with that spinlock locked, calls netif_rx(). Once the execution
reaches ks8851_start_xmit_par(), it calls ks8851_lock_par() again
which attempts to claim the already locked spinlock again, and the
hang happens.

Move the do_softirq() call outside of the spinlock protected section
of ks8851_irq() by disabling BHs around the entire spinlock protected
section of ks8851_irq() handler. Place local_bh_enable() outside of
the spinlock protected section, so that it can trigger do_softirq()
without the ks8851_par.c ks8851_lock_par() spinlock being held, and
safely call ks8851_start_xmit_par() without attempting to lock the
already locked spinlock.

Since ks8851_irq() is protected by local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable()
now, replace netif_rx() with __netif_rx() which is not duplicating the
local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() calls.

inline the netif_rx(skb) call directly into ks8851_common.c and drop
the .rx_skb callback and ks8851_rx_skb() wrapper. This removes one
indirect call from the driver, no functional change otherwise.
