    net: ethernet: cpsw: fix hangs with interrupts · 10152169

    commit 7ce67a38 upstream.
    
    The CPSW IP implements pulse-signaled interrupts. Due to
    that we must write a correct, pre-defined value to the
    CPDMA_MACEOIVECTOR register so the controller generates
    a pulse on the correct IRQ line to signal the End Of
    Interrupt.
    
    The way the driver is written today, all four IRQ lines
    are requested using the same IRQ handler and, because of
    that, we could fall into situations where a TX IRQ fires
    but we tell the controller that we ended an RX IRQ (or
    vice-versa). This situation triggers an IRQ storm on the
    reserved IRQ 127 of INTC which will in turn call ack_bad_irq()
    which will, then, print a ton of:
    
    	unexpected IRQ trap at vector 00
    
    In order to fix the problem, we are moving all calls to
    cpdma_ctlr_eoi() inside the IRQ handler and making sure
    we *always* write the correct value to the CPDMA_MACEOIVECTOR
    register. Note that the algorithm assumes that IRQ numbers and
    value-to-be-written-to-EOI are proportional, meaning that a
    write of value 0 would trigger an EOI pulse for the RX_THRESHOLD
    Interrupt and that's the IRQ number sitting in the 0-th index
    of our irqs_table array.
    
    This, however, is safe at least for current implementations of
    CPSW so we will refrain from making the check smarter (and, as
    a side-effect, slower) until we actually have a platform where
    IRQ lines are swapped.
    
    This patch has been tested for several days with AM335x- and
    AM437x-based platforms. AM57x was left out because there are
    still pending patches to enable ethernet in mainline for that
    platform. A read of the TRM confirms the statement on previous
    paragraph.
