Drop driver defined stmmac_fpe_state, and switch to common ethtool_mm_verify_status for local TX verification status. Local side and remote side verification processes are completely independent. There is no reason at all to keep a local state and a remote state. Add a spinlock to avoid races among ISR, timer, link update and register configuration. This patch is based on Vladimir Oltean's proposal. Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== In the INITIAL state, the timer sends MPACKET_VERIFY. Eventually the stmmac_fpe_event_status() IRQ fires and advances the state to VERIFYING, then rearms the timer after verify_time ms. If a subsequent IRQ comes in and modifies the state to SUCCEEDED after getting MPACKET_RESPONSE, the timer sees this. It must enable the EFPE bit now. Otherwise, it decrements the verify_limit counter and tries again. Eventually it moves the status to FAILED, from which the IRQ cannot move it anywhere else, except for another stmmac_fpe_apply() call. ==================== Co-developed-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Furong Xu <0x1207@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Vladimir Oltean <olteanv@gmail.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/151f86c8428eba967039718c6bf90a7d841e703b.1725631883.git.0x1207@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
