+Subject: net: systemport: Add global locking for descriptor lifecycle
+
+From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com>
+
+commit 8b8e6e782456f1ce02a7ae914bbd5b1053f0b034 upstream.
+
+The descriptor list is a shared resource across all of the transmit queues, and
+the locking mechanism used today only protects concurrency across a given
+transmit queue between the transmit and reclaiming. This creates an opportunity
+for the SYSTEMPORT hardware to work on corrupted descriptors if we have
+multiple producers at once which is the case when using multiple transmit
+queues.
+
+This was particularly noticeable when using multiple flows/transmit queues and
+it showed up in interesting ways in that UDP packets would get a correct UDP
+header checksum being calculated over an incorrect packet length. Similarly TCP
+packets would get an equally correct checksum computed by the hardware over an
+incorrect packet length.
+
+The SYSTEMPORT hardware maintains an internal descriptor list that it re-arranges
+when the driver produces a new descriptor anytime it writes to the
+WRITE_PORT_{HI,LO} registers, there is however some delay in the hardware to
+re-organize its descriptors and it is possible that concurrent TX queues
+eventually break this internal allocation scheme to the point where the
+length/status part of the descriptor gets used for an incorrect data buffer.
+
+The fix is to impose a global serialization for all TX queues in the short
+section where we are writing to the WRITE_PORT_{HI,LO} registers which solves
+the corruption even with multiple concurrent TX queues being used.
