idpf: set completion tag for "empty" bufs associated with a packet
[ Upstream commit 4c69c77aafe74cf755af55070584b643e5c4e4d8 ]
Commit d9028db618a6 ("idpf: convert to libeth Tx buffer completion")
inadvertently removed code that was necessary for the tx buffer cleaning
routine to iterate over all buffers associated with a packet.
When a frag is too large for a single data descriptor, it will be split
across multiple data descriptors. This means the frag will span multiple
buffers in the buffer ring in order to keep the descriptor and buffer
ring indexes aligned. The buffer entries in the ring are technically
empty and no cleaning actions need to be performed. These empty buffers
can precede other frags associated with the same packet. I.e. a single
packet on the buffer ring can look like:
buf[0]=skb0.frag0
buf[1]=skb0.frag1
buf[2]=empty
buf[3]=skb0.frag2
The cleaning routine iterates through these buffers based on a matching
completion tag. If the completion tag is not set for buf2, the loop will
end prematurely. Frag2 will be left uncleaned and next_to_clean will be
left pointing to the end of packet, which will break the cleaning logic
for subsequent cleans. This consequently leads to tx timeouts.
Assign the empty bufs the same completion tag for the packet to ensure
the cleaning routine iterates over all of the buffers associated with
the packet.
