    net: mscc: ocelot: serialize access to the injection/extraction groups · c5e12ac3
    Vladimir Oltean authored
    As explained by Horatiu Vultur in commit 603ead96 ("net: sparx5: Add
    spinlock for frame transmission from CPU") which is for a similar
    hardware design, multiple CPUs can simultaneously perform injection
    or extraction. There are only 2 register groups for injection and 2
    for extraction, and the driver only uses one of each. So we'd better
    serialize access using spin locks, otherwise frame corruption is
    possible.
    
    Note that unlike in sparx5, FDMA in ocelot does not have this issue
    because struct ocelot_fdma_tx_ring already contains an xmit_lock.
    
    I guess this is mostly a problem for NXP LS1028A, as that is dual core.
    I don't think VSC7514 is. So I'm blaming the commit where LS1028A (aka
    the felix DSA driver) started using register-based packet injection and
    extraction.
