[PATCH v2] net: arc/emac: Move arc_emac_tx_clean() into arc_emac_tx() and disable tx interrut

From: Caesar Wang
Date: Fri May 06 2016 - 08:19:40 EST


From: Shuyu Wei <sy.w@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Doing tx_clean() inside poll() may scramble the tx ring buffer if
tx() is running. This will cause tx to stop working, which can be
reproduced by simultaneously downloading two large files at high speed.

Moving tx_clean() into tx() will prevent this. And tx interrupt is no
longer needed now.

Picked the Shuyu's patch up, the patch is sent on
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8356821/, since that make sense for
rockchip platform.
Note: Many people feedback the cransh problems with rk3036/rk3188 emac when
download the heavy loading and this patch is indeed can fix the crash.

The crash log as the followings:
