Subject: [PATCH] staging: octeon: fix asymmetric output buffer pool accounting
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 09:18:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113091847.117705-1-singhpriyanshu9838@gmail.com> (raw)
In cvm_oct_configure_common_hw(), when CVMX_FPA_OUTPUT_BUFFER_POOL differs
from CVMX_FPA_PACKET_POOL, 1024 output buffers are allocated and added to
the hardware Free Pool Allocator (FPA) pool. However, in cvm_oct_probe()
(err_tx:) and in cvm_oct_remove(),cvm_oct_mem_empty_fpa() is called with
128 instead of 1024 as the expected buffer count.
This asymmetric accounting causes cvm_oct_free_hw_memory() to report a
false warning ("Freeing of pool 2 had too many buffers (-896)") upon
draining the pool.
Define CVM_OCT_NUM_OUTPUT_BUFFERS in ethernet-defines.h and use this
constant across cvm_oct_configure_common_hw(),
cvm_oct_probe(), and cvm_oct_remove() to ensure symmetric allocation
and deallocation.
