From: Paul Greenwalt <paul.greenw...@intel.com>
Earliest TxTime First Offload traffic result in an MDD event and Tx hang
due to a HW issue where the TS descriptor fetch logic does not wrap around
the tstamp ring properly. This occurs when the tail wraps around the ring
but the head has not, causing HW to fetch descriptors less than the head,
leading to an MDD event.
To prevent this, the driver creates additional TS descriptors when wrapping
the tstamp ring, equal to the fetch TS descriptors value stored in the
GLTXTIME_FETCH_PROFILE register. The additional TS descriptors will
reference the same Tx descriptor and contain the same timestamp, and HW
will merge the TS descriptors with the same timestamp into a single
descriptor.
The tstamp ring length will be increased to account for the additional TS
descriptors. The tstamp ring length is calculated as the Tx ring length
plus the fetch TS descriptors value, ensuring the same number of available
descriptors for both the Tx and tstamp rings.
