stmmac_tso_allocator can fail to set the Last Descriptor bit on a descriptor that actually was the last descriptor. This happens when the buffer of the last descriptor ends up having a size of exactly TSO_MAX_BUFF_SIZE. When the IP eventually reaches the next last descriptor, which actually has the bit set, the DMA will hang. When the DMA hangs, we get a tx timeout, however, since stmmac does not do a complete reset of the IP in stmmac_tx_timeout, we end up in a state with completely hung TX.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
