Well, if IP22 doesn't speculate (which I'm pretty sure is the case), dma_sync_single_for_cpu should indeeed be a no-op. But then there also shouldn't be anything in the cache, as the previous dma_sync_single_for_device should have invalidated it. So it seems like we are missing one (or more) ownership transfers to the device. I'll try to look at the the ownership management in a little more detail tomorrow.
this is the problem:
/* Always check for received packets. */ sgiseeq_rx(dev, sp, hregs, sregs);so the driver will look at the rx descriptor on every interrupt, so we cache the rx descriptor on the first interrupt and if there was $no rx packet, we will only see it, if cache line gets flushed for some other reason. kick_tx() does a busy loop checking tx descriptors, with just sync_desc_cpu...
the patch below fixes the problem.
