net: netsec: Sync dma for device on buffer allocation
Quoting Arnd, We have to do a sync_single_for_device /somewhere/ before the buffer is given to the device. On a non-cache-coherent machine with a write-back cache, there may be dirty cache lines that get written back after the device DMA's data into it (e.g. from a previous memset from before the buffer got freed), so you absolutely need to flush any dirty cache lines on it first. Since the coherency is configurable in this device make sure we cover all configurations by explicitly syncing the allocated buffer for the device before refilling it's descriptors Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
