Revision 504fd6a5390c30b1b7670768e314dd5d473da06a authored by Shay Agroskin on 08 June 2021, 16:42:54 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 08 June 2021, 23:41:02 UTC
This patch fixes several bugs found when (DMA/LLQ) mapping a packet for
transmission. The mapping procedure makes the transmitted packet
accessible by the device.
When using LLQ, this requires copying the packet's header to push header
(which would be passed to LLQ) and creating DMA mapping for the payload
(if the packet doesn't fit the maximum push length).
When not using LLQ, we map the whole packet with DMA.

The following bugs are fixed in the code:
    1. Add support for non-LLQ machines:
       The ena_xdp_tx_map_frame() function assumed that LLQ is
       supported, and never mapped the whole packet using DMA. On some
       instances, which don't support LLQ, this causes loss of traffic.

    2. Wrong DMA buffer length passed to device:
       When using LLQ, the first 'tx_max_header_size' bytes of the
       packet would be copied to push header. The rest of the packet
       would be copied to a DMA'd buffer.

    3. Freeing the XDP buffer twice in case of a mapping error:
       In case a buffer DMA mapping fails, the function uses
       xdp_return_frame_rx_napi() to free the RX buffer and returns from
       the function with an error. XDP frames that fail to xmit get
       freed by the kernel and so there is no need for this call.
