This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: sparx5: Add spinlock for frame transmission from CPU to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-sparx5-add-spinlock-for-frame-transmission-from-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit eda18b76c02cafc58789a28537d2b003feb36cb0 Author: Horatiu Vultur <horatiu.vultur@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Feb 19 09:00:43 2024 +0100 net: sparx5: Add spinlock for frame transmission from CPU [ Upstream commit 603ead96582d85903baec2d55f021b8dac5c25d2 ] Both registers used when doing manual injection or fdma injection are shared between all the net devices of the switch. It was noticed that when having two process which each of them trying to inject frames on different ethernet ports, that the HW started to behave strange, by sending out more frames then expected. When doing fdma injection it is required to set the frame in the DCB and then make sure that the next pointer of the last DCB is invalid. But because there is no locks for this, then easily this pointer between the DCB can be broken and then it would create a loop of DCBs. And that means that the HW will continuously transmit these frames in a loop. Until the SW will break this loop. Therefore to fix this issue, add a spin lock for when accessing the registers for manual or fdma injection.
