This was fixed in upstream by commit 7d9e6c5afab6 ("net: stmmac: Integrate
XGMAC into main driver flow") that is a new feature commit.
We found a race condition in the DMA init sequence that hits if the
PHY already has link up during stmmac_hw_setup. Since the ring length
was programmed after enabling the RX path, we might receive a packet
before the correct ring length is programmed. When that happened we
could not get reliable interrupts for DMA RX and the MTL complained
about RX FIFO overrun.

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.
