Subject: RE: [PATCH 1/3] ucc_geth: Fix empty TX queue processing

 
'bd == ugeth->txBd[txQ]' has two possible statuses: 1)full queue.
2)empty queue.
Removing 'netif_queue_stopped() == 0' will make transmitting stopping
when the queue is full. 

I made a new patch for this oops.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ucc_geth: Fix empty TX queue processing
-----------

Following oops was seen with the ucc_geth driver:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000058
Faulting instruction address: 0xc024f2fc
 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]  [...]  NIP [c024f2fc]

__do_softirq+0xb8/0x13c  [df857e60] [c00065cc] do_softirq+0xa0/0xac
[...]

This is because ucc_geth_tx() tries to process an empty queue when
queues are logically stopped. Stopping the queues doesn't disable
polling, and since nowadays ucc_geth_tx() is actually called from the
polling routine, the oops above might pop up.

Fix this by removing 'netif_queue_stopped() == 0' check.
