From 27082ee1b92f4d41e78b85fe40f6ab39673fba00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vineet Gupta Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 17:17:15 +0530 Subject: ethernet/arc/arc_emac: Fix huge delays in large file copies copying large files to a NFS mounted host was taking absurdly large time. Turns out that TX BD reclaim had a sublte bug. Loop starts off from @txbd_dirty cursor and stops when it hits a BD still in use by controller. However when it stops it needs to keep the cursor at that very BD to resume scanning in next iteration. However it was erroneously incrementing the cursor, causing the next scan(s) to fail too, unless the BD chain was completely drained out.
