Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: sparx5: Add spinlock for frame transmission from CPU
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 09:33:33 +0100

Both registers used when doing manual injection or fdma injection are
shared between all the net devices of the switch. It was noticed that
when having two process which each of them trying to inject frames on
different ethernet ports, that the HW started to behave strange, by
sending out more frames then expected. When doing fdma injection it is
required to set the frame in the DCB and then make sure that the next
pointer of the last DCB is invalid. But because there is no locks for
this, then easily this pointer between the DCB can be broken and then it
would create a loop of DCBs. And that means that the HW will
continuously transmit these frames in a loop. Until the SW will break
this loop.
Therefore to fix this issue, add a spin lock for when accessing the
registers for manual or fdma injection.
