Andrew reported:

After a number of network port link up/down changes, sometimes the switch
port gets stuck in a state where it thinks it is still transmitting packets
but the cpu port is not actually transmitting anymore. In this state you
will see a message on the console
"mtk_soc_eth 1e100000.ethernet eth0: transmit timed out" and the Tx counter
in ifconfig will be incrementing on virtual port, but not incrementing on
cpu port.

The issue is that MAC TX/RX status has no impact on the link status or
queue manager of the switch. So the queue manager just queues up packets
of a disabled port and sends out pause frames when the queue is full.

Change the LINK bit to reflect the link status.

For the subject prefix, it is preferable to use "[PATCH net]" over
"[[PATCH,net]]". You can easily add this bracketed prefix with git
format-patch's option --subject-prefix="PATCH net".


Thank you,

Thanks for reviewing.

Funny is that I used subject-prefix option but I with the brackets.
Like --subject-prefix="[PATCH,net]" but not realizing that git also
add brackets. I didn't noticed until I got an email back from the
mailinglist that it had double brackets.
Next time I use "[PATCH net]".

Great,

René
