1Subject: net/ps3_gelic: Fix RX DMA restart
2
3Fix the condition where PS3 network RX hangs when no network
4TX is occuring by calling gelic_card_enable_rxdmac() during
5RX_DMA_CHAIN_END event processing.
6
7The gelic hardware automatically clears its RX_DMA_EN flag when
8it detects an RX_DMA_CHAIN_END event. In its processing of
9RX_DMA_CHAIN_END the gelic driver is required to set RX_DMA_EN
10(with a call to gelic_card_enable_rxdmac()) to restart RX DMA
11transfers. The existing gelic driver code does not set
12RX_DMA_EN directly in its processing of the RX_DMA_CHAIN_END
13event, but uses a flag variable card->rx_dma_restart_required
14to schedule the setting of RX_DMA_EN until next inside the
15interrupt handler.
16
17It seems this delayed setting of RX_DMA_EN causes the hang since
18the next RX interrupt after the RX_DMA_CHAIN_END event where
19RX_DMA_EN is scheduled to be set will not occur since RX_DMA_EN
20was not set. In the case were network TX is occuring, RX_DMA_EN
21is set in the next TX interrupt and RX processing continues.
