Subject: Regarding tx-nocache-copy in the Sheevaplug
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:52:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141013105246.GD1972@vicerveza.homeunix.net> (raw)
Hello,
on the 7th of January 2014 ths patch was applied:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/7/307
[PATCH v2] net: Do not enable tx-nocache-copy by default
In the Sheevaplug (ARM Feroceon 88FR131 from Marvell) this made packets to be
sent corrupted. I think this machine has something special about the cache.
Enabling back this tx-nocache-copy (as it used to be before the patch) the
transfers work fine again. I think that most people, encountering this problem,
completely disable the tx offload instead of enabling back this setting.
Is this an ARM kernel problem regarding this platform?
Thank you,
Lluís
