Sparse complains about fec_enet_select_queue() not being static.
Feedback from David Miller [1] was to remove this function instead of making it
static:
"Please just delete this function.
It's overriding code which does exactly the same thing.
Actually, more precisely, this code is duplicating code in a way that
bypasses many core facilitites of the networking. For example, this
override means that socket based flow steering, XPS, etc. are all
not happening on these devices.
Without ->ndo_select_queue(), the flow dissector does __netdev_pick_tx
which is exactly what you want to happen."

When enable three queues on imx6sx enet, and then do tx performance
test with iperf tool, after some time running, tx hang.
Found that:
If uDMA is running, software set TDAR may cause tx hang.
If uDMA is in idle, software set TDAR don't cause tx hang.
There is a TDAR race condition for mutliQ when the software sets TDAR
and the UDMA clears TDAR simultaneously or in a small window (2-4 cycles).
This will cause the udma_tx and udma_tx_arbiter state machines to hang.
The issue exist at i.MX6SX enet IP.
So, the Workaround is checking TDAR status four time, if TDAR cleared by

FEC ptp driver start one period timer to read 1588 counter register in the

To save power, after FEC probe finish, FEC driver disable all clocks including

Using a (delayed) workqueue for ERR006358 is not correct - a work queue
is a single-trigger device. Once the work queue has been scheduled, it
can't be re-scheduled until it has been run. This can cause problems -
with an appropriate packet timing, we can end up with packets queued,
but not sent by the hardware, resulting in the transmit timeout firing.
Re-implement this as per the workaround detailed in the ERR006358
documentation - if there are packets waiting to be sent when we service
the transmit ring, and we see that the transmitter is not running,
kick the transmitter to run the pending entries in the ring.

Changing the features (receive checksumming) requires the hardware to be
reprogrammed, and also changes the checks in the receive packet
processing.
The current implementation has a race - fec_set_features() changes the
flags which alter the receive packet processing while the adapter is
active, and potentially receiving frames. Only after we've modified
the software flag do we shutdown and reconfigure the hardware.
This can lead to packets being received and marked with a valid checksum
(via CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY) when the hardware checksum validation has not
yet been enabled.
We must quiesce the device, then change the software configuration for
this feature, and then resume the device if it was previously running.
The resulting code structure also allows us to add other configuration
features in this path without having to quiesce and resume the network
interface and device.

fec_suspend() calls fec_stop() to stop the transmit ring while the
transmit packet processing is still active. This can lead to the
transmit queue being restarted by an intervening packet queued for
transmission, or by the tx quirk timer expiring.
Fix this by disabling NAPI first, which will ensure that the NAPI
handlers are not running. Then, take the transmit lock before
detaching the netif device. This ensures that there are no races
with the transmit path - and also ensures that the watchdog won't
fire.
We can then safely stop the ethernet device itself, knowing that the
rest of the driver is safely shut down.
On resume, we bring the device back up in reverse order - we restart
the device, reattach the device (under the tx lock), and then enable
the NAPI handlers.
We also need to adjust the close function to cope with this new
sequence, so that it's possible to cleanly close down the driver
after the hardware fails to resume (eg, due to the regulator_enable()
or pinctrl calls in the resume path returning an error.)

This is the second stage to "move calls to quiesce/resume packet
processing out of fec_restart()", where we remove calls which are not
appropriate to the call site.
In the majority of cases, there is no need to detach and reattach the
interface as we are holding the queue xmit lock across the reset. The
exception to that is in fec_resume(), where we are already detached by
the suspend function. Here, we can remove the call to detach the
interface.
We also do not need to stop the transmit queue. Holding the xmit lock
is enough to ensure that the transmit packet processing is not running
while we perform our task. However, since fec_restart() always cleans
the rings, we call netif_wake_queue() (or netif_device_attach() in the
case of resume) just before dropping the xmit lock. This prevents the
watchdog firing.
Lastly, always call napi_enable() after the device has been reattached
in the resume path so that we know that the transmit packet processing
is already in an enabled state, so we don't call netif_wake_queue()
while detached.

Avoid calling fec_restart() or fec_stop() while the device is down
or not present (iow suspended.)
Although the ndo_timeout method will only be called if the device is
present and running, we defer this to a work queue. The work queue
can run independently, and so needs to repeat these checks to ensure
that a restart doesn't occur after the device has been taken down or
detached for suspend. In this case, we call fec_restart() in the
resume path, so nothing is lost.
For fec_set_features, we add a call to fec_restart() in fec_enet_open()
to ensure that the hardware is appropriate programmed when the interface
is opened. fec_set_features() call should not occur while we're
suspended, so we don't have to worry about that case.
The adjust_link needs similar treatment - this also is called from a
work queue, which may be run independently after we have taken the
device down and detached it. In this case, we just mark the link
down and take no further action. We will reset things appropriately
once the device is up and running again, at which point we will receive

While running: while :; do iperf -c <HOST> -P 4; done, transmit timeouts
are regularly reported. With the tx ring dumping in place, we can see
that all entries are in use, and the hardware has finished transmitting
these packets. However, the driver has not reclaimed these ring
entries.
This can occur if the interrupt handler is invoked at the wrong moment -
eg:
CPU0 CPU1
fec_enet_tx()
interrupt, IEVENT = FEC_ENET_TXF
FEC_ENET_TXF cleared
napi_schedule_prep()
napi_complete()
The result is that we clear the transmit interrupt, but we don't trigger
any cleaning of the transmit ring. Instead, use a different strategy:
- When receiving a transmit or receive interrupt, disable both tx and rx
interrupts, but do not acknowledge them. Schedule a napi poll. Don't
loop.
- When we are polled, read IEVENT, acknowledging the pending transmit
and receive interrupts, before then going on to process the
appropriate rings.
This allows us to avoid the race, and has a number of other advantages:
- we cut down on the number of transmit interrupts we have to process.
- we only look at the rings which have pending events.
- we gain additional throughput: the iperf total bandwidth increases
from about 180Mbps to 240Mbps:
