From 7d2f320e12744e5906a4fab40381060a81d22c12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Parthiban Veerasooran Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2024 18:01:58 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] net: ethernet: oa_tc6: fix infinite loop error when tx credits becomes 0 SPI thread wakes up to perform SPI transfer whenever there is an TX skb from n/w stack or interrupt from MAC-PHY. Ethernet frame from TX skb is transferred based on the availability tx credits in the MAC-PHY which is reported from the previous SPI transfer. Sometimes there is a possibility that TX skb is available to transmit but there is no tx credits from MAC-PHY. In this case, there will not be any SPI transfer but the thread will be running in an endless loop until tx credits available again. So checking the availability of tx credits along with TX skb will prevent the above infinite loop. When the tx credits available again that will be notified through interrupt which will trigger the SPI transfer to get the available tx credits.
