cpsw tries to flush dcache which is not in the range of PKTSIZE. Because of this the following warning comes while flushing:

CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [dffecec0, dffed016]

Fix it by flushing cache of size PKTSIZE_ALIGN as similar to what is being done in _cpsw_recv.

Changes since v1:

• Use PKTALIGN instead of cache line size
• Need not align start of packet buffer from the network subsystem.

Technically you are flushing more than needed since you just need to be aligned to the cacheline beyond the size being sent, but you are flushing the maximum packet size every time. That said, it's still going to work and the code is readable. I'm fine with this, but wanted to make sure you knew this is more flushing than needed.

Initially that was my idea as well and aligned length to cache line size. As you suggested to use PKTSIZE_ALIGN and also _cpsw_recv uses the same. So, I used PKTSIZE_ALIGN.

I actually recommended PKTALIGN, not PKTSIZE_ALIGN. For recv, the size

Oops my bad. I totally misunderstood your previous comment. Ill resend this patch.

Thanks and regards, Lokesh

for invalidate is unknown until it's received (unless you can check a descriptor after it's received but before you read it), so it's more appropriate to use PKTSIZE_ALIGN. For send, you certainly know the size before flushing.
