[PATCH v6 01/10] net: eth: altera: tse_start_xmit ignores tx_buffer call response

From: Ooi, Joyce
Date: Tue Aug 18 2020 - 11:58:23 EST


From: Dalon Westergreen <dalon.westergreen@xxxxxxxxx>

The return from tx_buffer call in tse_start_xmit is
inapropriately ignored. tse_buffer calls should return
0 for success or NETDEV_TX_BUSY. tse_start_xmit should
return not report a successful transmit when the tse_buffer
call returns an error condition.

In addition to the above, the msgdma and sgdma do not return
the same value on success or failure. The sgdma_tx_buffer
returned 0 on failure and a positive number of transmitted
packets on success. Given that it only ever sends 1 packet,
this made no sense. The msgdma implementation msgdma_tx_buffer
returns 0 on success.

-> Don't ignore the return from tse_buffer calls
-> Fix sgdma tse_buffer call to return 0 on success
and NETDEV_TX_BUSY on failure.
