Subject: net: stmmac: fix completely hung TX when using TSO
From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@xxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 426849e6611f2092553f8d53372ae310818a6292 ]
stmmac_tso_allocator can fail to set the Last Descriptor bit
on a descriptor that actually was the last descriptor.
This happens when the buffer of the last descriptor ends
up having a size of exactly TSO_MAX_BUFF_SIZE.
When the IP eventually reaches the next last descriptor,
which actually has the bit set, the DMA will hang.
When the DMA hangs, we get a tx timeout, however,
since stmmac does not do a complete reset of the IP
in stmmac_tx_timeout, we end up in a state with
completely hung TX.
