Linux kernel source tree

The MAC can get out of step with the internal packet FIFOs if the system goes to sleep when the link is active, especially at high data rates. This can result in partial frames in the packet FIFOs that in result in malformed frames being delivered to the host. This occurs because the driver does not enable/disable the internal packet FIFOs in step with the corresponding MAC data path. The following changes fix this problem. Update code that enables/disables the MAC receiver and transmitter to the more general Rx and Tx data path, where the data path in each direction consists of both the MAC function (Tx or Rx) and the corresponding packet FIFO. In the receive path the packet FIFO must be enabled before the MAC receiver but disabled after the MAC receiver. In the transmit path the opposite is true: the packet FIFO must be enabled after the MAC transmitter but disabled before the MAC transmitter. The packet FIFOs can be flushed safely once the corresponding data path is stopped. Signed-off-by: John Efstathiades <john.efstathiades@pebblebay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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 Restructured Text 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.
