From: Alexey Brodkin <Alexey.Brodkin@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.4.110-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ commit f1590670ce069eefeb93916391a67643e6ad1630 upstream. Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1" fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits set because of the following factors: [1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so it will be filled with garbage. [2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC controller (for example error flags etc). And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1" fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block. This change addresses both items above with: [1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because this allocation only happens once on driver probe. [2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields of all buffer descriptors during initialization of DMA transfer. And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent() counterpart as well.
