It makes sense and I have verified, transfers continue to work
clearing the whole thing, see update in v6.

Like others I wonder why the existing descriptor value is being read
at all.

It's inefficient and completely unnecessary, you can just compute a new
value from scratch, and that way all of these "uncleared field" issues
just automatically disappear.

Wouldnt it be faster to not use readl() at all here ?

readl() is only used to get TX_DESC1_END bit.

It seems you could replace the thing by :

txdes1 = TX_DESC1_LTS | TX_DESC1_FTS | (len & TX_DESC1_BUF_SIZE_MASK);
if (tx_head == TX_DESC_NUM_MASK)
txdes1 |= TX_DESC1_END;

[PATCH v5 1/2] net: moxa: clear TX descriptor length bits

2014-08-20 Thread Jonas Jensen
TX buffer length is not cleared on ndo_start_xmit().
Failing to do so can bug/hang the controller and
cause TX interrupts to stop altogether.

Add TX_DESC1_BUF_SIZE_MASK to bits that are cleared,
before the TX buffer length is set.
