Wei Fang 918aafade3 net: enetc: do not transmit redirected XDP frames when the link is down 
[ Upstream commit 2939203ffe ]

In the current implementation, the enetc_xdp_xmit() always transmits
redirected XDP frames even if the link is down, but the frames cannot
be transmitted from TX BD rings when the link is down, so the frames
are still kept in the TX BD rings. If the XDP program is uninstalled,
users will see the following warning logs.

fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.0 eno0: timeout for tx ring #6 clear

More worse, the TX BD ring cannot work properly anymore, because the
HW PIR and CIR are not equal after the re-initialization of the TX
BD ring. At this point, the BDs between CIR and PIR are invalid,
which will cause a hardware malfunction.

Another reason is that there is internal context in the ring prefetch
logic that will retain the state from the first incarnation of the ring
and continue prefetching from the stale location when we re-initialize
the ring. The internal context is only reset by an FLR. That is to say,
for LS1028A ENETC, software cannot set the HW CIR and PIR when
initializing the TX BD ring.

It does not make sense to transmit redirected XDP frames when the link is
down. Add a link status check to prevent transmission in this condition.
This fixes part of the issue, but more complex cases remain. For example,
the TX BD ring may still contain unsent frames when the link goes down.
Those situations require additional patches, which will build on this
one.

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.
