From: Ronald Wahl <ronald.wahl@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Under some circumstances it may happen that the ks8851 Ethernet driver
stops sending data.
Currently the interrupt handler resets the interrupt status flags in the
hardware after handling TX. With this approach we may lose interrupts in
the time window between handling the TX interrupt and resetting the TX
interrupt status bit.
When all of the three following conditions are true then transmitting
data stops:
- TX queue is stopped to wait for room in the hardware TX buffer
- no queued SKBs in the driver (txq) that wait for being written to hw
- hardware TX buffer is empty and the last TX interrupt was lost
This is because reenabling the TX queue happens when handling the TX
interrupt status but if the TX status bit has already been cleared then
this interrupt will never come.
With this commit the interrupt status flags will be cleared before they
are handled. That way we stop losing interrupts.
The wrong handling of the ISR flags was there from the beginning but
with commit 3dc5d4454545 ("net: ks8851: Fix TX stall caused by TX
buffer overrun") the issue becomes apparent.
