[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/4] net: rtl8169: Improve cache maintenance

Fri Sep 20 16:03:42 CEST 2013


Instead of directly calling the low-level invalidate_dcache_range() and
flush_cache() functions, provide thin wrappers that take into account
alignment requirements.

While at it, fix a case where the cache was flushed but should have been
invalidated, two cases where the buffer data was flushed instead of the
descriptor and a missing cache invalidation before reading the packet
data that the NIC just wrote to memory.
