Increase the needed headroom to account for a 64 byte alignment restriction which, with this patch, we make mandatory on the Tx path. The case in which the amount of headroom needed is not available is already handled by the driver which instead sends a S/G frame with the first buffer only holding the SW and HW annotation areas. Without this patch, we can empirically see data corruption happening between Tx and Tx confirmation which sometimes leads to the SW annotation area being overwritten. Since this is an old IP where the hardware team cannot help to understand the underlying behavior, we make the Tx alignment mandatory for all frames to avoid the crash on Tx conf. Also, remove the comment that suggested that this is just an optimization. This patch also sets the needed_headroom net device field to the usual value that the driver would need on the Tx path: - 64 bytes for the software annotation area - 64 bytes to account for a 64 byte aligned buffer address Fixes: 6e2387e8 ("staging: fsl-dpaa2/eth: Add Freescale DPAA2 Ethernet driver") Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/aa784d0c-85eb-4e5d-968b-c8f74fa86be6@gin.de/Signed-off-by: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
