From 8e83989106562326bfd6aaf92174fe138efd026b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Deepak Sikri Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2012 21:14:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] stmmac: Fix for nfs hang on multiple reboot It was observed that during multiple reboots nfs hangs. The status of receive descriptors shows that all the descriptors were in control of CPU, and none were assigned to DMA. Also the DMA status register confirmed that the Rx buffer is unavailable. This patch adds the fix for the same by adding the memory barriers to ascertain that the all instructions before enabling the Rx or Tx DMA are completed which involves the proper setting of the ownership bit in DMA descriptors.
