E.g. something like this for the particular problem, although there might be other hiding elsewhere: diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/seeq/sgiseeq.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/seeq/sgiseeq.c index 8507ff2420143a..a1c7be8a0d1e5d 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/seeq/sgiseeq.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/seeq/sgiseeq.c @@ -403,6 +403,8 @@ static inline void sgiseeq_rx(struct net_device *dev, struct sgiseeq_private *sp rd = &sp->rx_desc[sp->rx_new]; dma_sync_desc_cpu(dev, rd); } + dma_sync_desc_dev(dev, rd); + dma_sync_desc_cpu(dev, &sp->rx_desc[orig_end]); sp->rx_desc[orig_end].rdma.cntinfo &= ~(HPCDMA_EOR); dma_sync_desc_dev(dev, &sp->rx_desc[orig_end]);
