The Tx BD rings are disabled first in enetc_stop() and the driver
waits for them to become empty. This operation is not safe while
the ring is actively transmitting frames, and will cause the ring
to not be empty and hardware exception. As described in the NETC
block guide, software should only disable an active Tx ring after
all pending ring entries have been consumed (i.e. when PI = CI).
Disabling a transmit ring that is actively processing BDs risks
a HW-SW race hazard whereby a hardware resource becomes assigned
to work on one or more ring entries only to have those entries be
removed due to the ring becoming disabled.
When testing XDP_REDIRECT feautre, although all frames were blocked
from being put into Tx rings during ring reconfiguration, the similar
warning log was still encountered:
fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eno2: timeout for tx ring #6 clear
fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eno2: timeout for tx ring #7 clear
The reason is that when there are still unsent frames in the Tx ring,
disabling the Tx ring causes the remaining frames to be unable to be
sent out. And the Tx ring cannot be restored, which means that even
if the xdp program is uninstalled, the Tx frames cannot be sent out
anymore. Therefore, correct the operation order in enect_start() and
enect_stop().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
