cppi_next_tx_segment is not checking for Transmit Buffer Descriptor
ownership before modifying parameters.
Transmit Buffer Descriptor ram is shared between the host processor
and the DMA. The "Ownership" bit is set by the host processor to give
the DMA ownership of the Transmit Buffer Descriptor, and the bit is
cleared by the DMA to return ownership to the host processor.
On USB Tx, when the system is heavily loaded, cppi_next_tx_segment can
overwrite a Transmit Buffer Descriptor that is still owned by the DMA,
causing DMA truncation error to fire, resulting in a channel abort.
This proposed fix adds a check for host processor ownership of the bd
and does not proceed to program it until the DMA has ended ownership.
Condition rarely occurs, so USB write speed is not negatively impacted.
Tested on DM365
Sergei, do you have anything against this patch ? I'm asking because you
have been more closely working on DaVinci.
