target/linux/mvebu/patches-3.8/004-net_mvneta_fix_driver_operations_smp.patch

   1 From: Dmitri Epshtein <dima@marvell.com>
   2
   3 In order for the driver to behave properly in a SMP context, the same
   4 transmit queue should be used by the kernel in dev_queue_xmit() and in
   5 the driver's mvneta_tx() function. To achieve that, the driver now
   6 implements the ->ndo_select_txq() operation.
   7
   8 For now, it always returns the same transmit queue, txq_def, until the
   9 driver is expanded to properly take advantage of the multiqueue
  10 capabilities of the hardware.
  11
  12 Without this patch, the network driver crashes the kernel almost
  13 immediately on Armada XP platforms, if the network load is at least a
  14 little bit parallel (i.e several threads).
