Ethernet frames can be extracted or injected autonomously to or from the device’s DDR3/DDR3L memory and/or PCIe memory space. Linked list data structures in memory are used for injecting or extracting Ethernet frames. The FDMA generates interrupts when frame extraction or injection is done and when the linked lists need updating. The FDMA is shared between all the ethernet ports of the switch and uses a linked list of descriptors (DCB) to inject and extract packets. Before adding descriptors, the FDMA channels must be stopped. It would be inefficient to do that each time a descriptor would be added so the channels are restarted only once they stopped. Both channels uses ring-like structure to feed the DCBs to the FDMA. head and tail are never touched by hardware and are completely handled by the driver. On top of that, page recycling has been added and is mostly taken from gianfar driver.
