Since commit 71ce391dfb784 ("net: mvpp2: enable proper per-CPU TX
buffers unmapping"), we are not correctly DMA unmapping TX buffers for
fragments.
Indeed, the mvpp2_txq_inc_put() function only stores in the
txq_cpu->tx_buffs[] array the physical address of the buffer to be
DMA-unmapped when skb != NULL. In addition, when DMA-unmapping, we use
skb_headlen(skb) to get the size to be unmapped. Both of this works fine
for TX descriptors that are associated directly to a SKB, but not the
ones that are used for fragments, with a NULL pointer as skb:
- We have a NULL physical address when calling DMA unmap
- skb_headlen(skb) crashes because skb is NULL
This causes random crashes when fragments are used.
To solve this problem, we need to:
- Store the physical address of the buffer to be unmapped
unconditionally, regardless of whether it is tied to a SKB or not.
- Store the length of the buffer to be unmapped, which requires a new
field.
Instead of adding a third array to store the length of the buffer to be
unmapped, and as suggested by David Miller, this commit refactors the
tx_buffs[] and tx_skb[] arrays of 'struct mvpp2_txq_pcpu' into a
separate structure 'mvpp2_txq_pcpu_buf', to which a 'size' field is
added. Therefore, instead of having three arrays to allocate/free, we
have a single one, which also improve data locality, reducing the
impact on the CPU cache.

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.
