On some platforms (currently detected only on SAMA5D4) TX might stuck even the pachets are still present in DMA memories and TX start was issued for them. This happens due to race condition between MACB driver updating next TX buffer descriptor to be used and IP reading the same descriptor. In such a case, the "TX USED BIT READ" interrupt is asserted. GEM/MACB user guide specifies that if a "TX USED BIT READ" interrupt is asserted TX must be restarted. Restart TX if used bit is read and packets are present in software TX queue. Packets are removed from software TX queue if TX was successful for them (see macb_tx_interrupt()).

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 Restructured Text 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.
