[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] net: davinci_emac: Remove useless dcache ops on descriptors

[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] net: davinci_emac: Remove useless dcache ops on descriptors

[Karl Beldan]

ATM the rx and tx descriptors are handled as cached memory while they
lie in a dedicated RAM of the SoCs, which is an uncached area.
Removing the said dcache ops, while optimizing the logic and clarifying
the code, also gets rid of most of the check_cache_range() incurred
warnings:
CACHE: Misaligned operation at range

[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/3] net: davinci_emac: Round up top buffer boundaries for dcache ops

[Karl Beldan]

check_cache_range() warns that the top boundaries are not properly
aligned while flushing and invalidating the buffers and make these
operations to fail.
ATM the RX bottom boundaries are aligned by design with EMAC_RXBUF_SIZE,
properly aligned with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, however the top ones are not.

This gets rid of the warnings:
CACHE: Misaligned operation at range

It's preferred to use:
                        (unsigned long)packet + ALIGN(length, PKTALIGN)); 
here instead of ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.

Hmm, I think your suggestion is buggy.
The cache primitives act on [laddr, haddr[, i.e. haddr is excluded, IOW
you are missing the tail of the packet (that's why I rounded up).

Conceptually I still prefer ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, also all other code in
the base does so.

Karl

Joe, we've got some instances using ALIGN(length, PKTALIGN) and others
using roundup.  And I can't imagine that we shouldn't be using the same
thing everywhere here.  So, what do you say to Karl's comment?  Thanks!

Being network code, we should use PKTALIGN here and elsewhere.

Just checked, your ALIGN macro also rounds up so your suggestion is not
buggy, my bad.
