[PATCH V2 0/8] net: mediatek: make the driver pass stress tests

From: John Crispin
Date: Thu Apr 07 2016 - 15:29:45 EST


While testing the driver we managed to get the TX path to stall and fail
to recover. When dual MAC support was added to the driver, the whole queue
stop/wake code was not properly adapted. There was also a regression in the
locking of the xmit function. The fact that watchdog_timeo was not set and
that the tx_timeout code failed to properly reset the dma, irq and queue
just made the mess complete.

This series make the driver pass stress testing. With this series applied
the testbed has been running for several days and still has not locked up.
We have a second setup that has a small hack patch applied to randomly stop
irqs and/or one of the queues and successfully manages to recover from these
simulated tx stalls.

John Crispin (8):
net: mediatek: watchdog_timeo was not set
net: mediatek: mtk_cal_txd_req() returns bad value
net: mediatek: remove superfluous reset call
net: mediatek: fix stop and wakeup of queue
net: mediatek: fix mtk_pending_work
net: mediatek: fix TX locking
net: mediatek: move the pending_work struct to the device generic
struct
net: mediatek: do not set the QID field in the TX DMA descriptors
