As a future optimization, you could try to group the variables by
direction: RX and TX such that you have better cache locality.

   Thanks for the idea.

   OK, missed this.

That still won't quite work with 10Mbits/sec will it? Or is this
controller 100/1000 only (which would be extremely surprising).

   Yes, only 100/1000, at least so says the manual.

The flow after the else condition, while refiling might deserve some
explanation.

Based on the refill logic below, it seems to me like you could leave
holes in your ring where rx_skb[q][entry] is NULL, should not that be
checked here?

We don't set the descriptor type to FEMPTY for such cases, so the AVB-DMAC shouldn't handle such descriptors.

Can't you always invoke netif_receive_skb() here? Why is there a special
queue?

The comments in ravb_interrupt() say that the network control queue should be handled ASAP, due to timestamping.

Should this really be a break or a continue?

We don't expect the allocation to succeed after it failed, so the *break* is appropriate, I think.

Should not you stop the MAC TX here as well for consistency?

   Perhaps, though the manual doesn't say so...

+	ravb_wait(ndev, TCCR, TCCR_TSRQ0 | TCCR_TSRQ1 | TCCR_TSRQ2 | TCCR_TSRQ3,

This would be better moved to the NAPI handler.

   Maybe, not sure...

Why not use what priv->phydev->duplex has cached for you?

Because we compare 'priv->duplex' with 'priv->phydev->duplex' in ravb_adjust_link(). Or what did you mean?

Is checking against priv->phydev really necessary, it does not look like
the driver will work or accept an invalid PHY device at all anyway?

   You still can run 'ethtool' on a closed network device.

Is not that something that should be moved to a local ndo_change_mtu()

That was copied from sh_eth.c verbatim, I even doubt that the formula is correct for EtherAVB...

function? What happens if I change the MTU of an interface running, does
not that completely break this RX buffer estimation?

Well, not completely, I think. eth_change_mtu() doesn't allow MTU > 1500 bytes, so it looks like we just need to change 1492 to 1500 here.

What's so special about 4 here, you don't seem to be using 4 descriptors

Not sure, this was clearly copied from sh_eth.c. Perhaps it's just a threshold for calling ravb_tx_free()...

+
+	priv->tx_skb[q][entry] = skb;
+	buffer = PTR_ALIGN(priv->tx_buffers[q][entry], RAVB_ALIGN);
+	memcpy(buffer, skb->data, skb->len);

~1500 bytes memcpy(), not good...

I'm looking in the manual and not finding the hard requirement to have the buffer address aligned to 128 bytes (RAVB_ALIGN), sigh... Kimura-san?

+	desc = &priv->tx_ring[q][entry];

Since we have released the spinlock few lines above, is there something
protecting ravb_tx_free() from concurrently running with this xmit()
call and trashing this entry?

   Probably nothing... :-)

+	desc->ds = skb->len;
+	desc->dptr = dma_map_single(&ndev->dev, buffer, skb->len,
+				    DMA_TO_DEVICE);
+	if (dma_mapping_error(&ndev->dev, desc->dptr)) {
+		dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
+		priv->tx_skb[q][entry] = NULL;

Don't you need to make sure this NULL is properly seen by ravb_tx_free()?

   You mean doing this before releasing the spinlock? Or what?
