So have seperated the patches to deal with the teardown and some findings from sashiko. - "net: stmmac: enable MAC rx/tx after DMA start": reduced in scope, now only moves the MAC enable after stmmac_start_all_dma() in stmmac_hw_setup() and stmmac_xdp_open(). This is to handle the overflow scenario during bootup causing hang. The teardown side in __stmmac_release() is no longer touched here. This change could go independently fix the overflow hang at bootup. - Added "net: stmmac: xgmac: tear the datapath down in the documented order": for ensuring ordered sequence is followed for teardown. - Added "net: stmmac: xgmac: decouple the MAC Rx/Tx enables from the DMA ops": drops the global TE/RE writes from the per-channel XGMAC DMA start/stop ops. - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260727-stmmac-rx-fifo-block-v2-1-4dc3457d31d0@gmail.com (local) Changes in v2: - Corrected the ordering in teardown for xdp at stmmac_xdp_release(). - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260726-stmmac-rx-fifo-block-v1-1-45ab094b6c02@gmail.com (local) --- Abid Ali (3): net: stmmac: enable MAC rx/tx after DMA start net: stmmac: xgmac: tear the datapath down in the documented order net: stmmac: xgmac: decouple the MAC Rx/Tx enables from the DMA ops drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwxgmac2.h | 8 ++ drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwxgmac2_dma.c | 94 +++++++++++++++++++--- drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/hwif.h | 17 ++++ drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c | 85 ++++++++++++++----- 4 files changed, 170 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 8cd9520d35a6c38db6567e97dd93b1f11f185dc6 change-id: 20260726-stmmac-rx-fifo-block-ef589c38f96b Best regards, -- Abid Ali [off-list ref]
