The TSO header buffer is pre-allocated DMA memory, so there's no need to
map it again with dma_map_single() in fec_enet_txq_put_hdr_tso(). Remove
this redundant mapping operation.

Hi Dheeraj,

It seems to me that at this point of execution, without your patch, dmabuf
can be one of two values:

	1. txq->tso_hdrs_dma + index * TSO_HEADER_SIZE
	   This is the default case.

	2. txq->tx_bounce[index]
	   This is the special case, which is handed in the conditional
	   block that your patch updates.

In case 1, I agree that tso_hdrs_dma is already mapped.
But this case is not affected by your patch as the
conditional block that includes dma_map_single() is not executed.

In case 2, I do not see where txq->tx_bounce[index] is already mapped.

Am I missing something?

Hi Dheeraj,

I must admit that I misread it too. There is another case in the TSO
header where txq->tx_bounce may be used in some cases. I think
the most correct fix is to make txq->tso_hdrs aligned to 32/64 bytes
when allocating tso_hdrs, then we do not need to use txq->tx_bounce
in fec_enet_txq_put_hdr_tso(), because (bufaddr) & fep->tx_align)
will not be true. This way we can safely remove dma_map_single()
from fec_enet_txq_put_hdr_tso().

Hi Fang, Simon,

Thank you for the feedback. I have a clarification question regarding 
the alignment of txq->tso_hdrs.

In the current code, txq->tso_hdrs is allocated using fec_dma_alloc(), 
which internally calls dma_alloc_coherent(). As I understand it, 
dma_alloc_coherent() guarantees that the allocated buffer is properly aligned.

Given this, should we remove the alignment check 
((unsigned long)bufaddr) & fep->tx_align and the associated dma_map_single() 
logic entirely from fec_enet_txq_put_hdr_tso() as you have suggested?
