This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: systemport: Decouple flow control from __bcm_sysport_tx_reclaim to the 4.4-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-systemport-decouple-flow-control-from-__bcm_sysport_tx_reclaim.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Wed Feb 1 08:49:51 CET 2017 From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 12:09:09 -0800 Subject: net: systemport: Decouple flow control from __bcm_sysport_tx_reclaim From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 148d3d021cf9724fcf189ce4e525a094bbf5ce89 ] The __bcm_sysport_tx_reclaim() function is used to reclaim transmit resources in different places within the driver. Most of them should not affect the state of the transit flow control. Introduce bcm_sysport_tx_clean() which cleans the ring, but does not re-enable flow control towards the networking stack, and make bcm_sysport_tx_reclaim() do the actual transmit queue flow control.
