2013-08-22fs_enet: cleanup clock API useGerhard Sittig1-0/+20
make the Freescale ethernet driver get, prepare and enable the FEC clock during probe(); disable and unprepare the clock upon remove(), put is done by the devm approach; hold a reference to the clock over the period of use. clock lookup is non-fatal as not all platforms provide clock specs in their device tree; failure to enable specified clocks is fatal.

2013-08-13gianfar: Add flow control supportClaudiu Manoil3-3/+132
eTSEC has Rx and Tx flow control capabilities that may be enabled through MACCFG1[Rx_Flow, Tx_Flow] bits. These bits must not be set however when eTSEC is operated in Half-Duplex mode. Unfortunately, the driver currently sets these bits unconditionally. This patch adds the proper handling of the PAUSE frame capability register bits by implementing the ethtool -A interface. When pause autoneg is enabled, the controller uses the phy's capability to negotiate PAUSE frame settings with the link partner and reconfigures its Rx_Flow and Tx_Flow settings to match the capabilities of the link partner. If pause autoneg is off, the PAUSE frame generation may be forced manually (ethtool -A). Flow control is disabled by default now. This implementation is inspired by the tg3 driver.

2013-08-05gianfar: Cleanup TxFCB insertion on xmitClaudiu Manoil1-29/+33
Cleanup gfar_start_xmit()'s fast path by factoring out "redundant" FCB insertion code (repeated gfar_add_fcb() calls and related) and by reducing the number of if() clauses (i.e. if(fcb) checks). Improve maintainability (e.g. there's less code and easier to read) also by introducing do_csum and do_vlan to mark the other 2 Tx TOE functionalities, following the same model as do_tstamp. fcb_len may also be 0 now, to mark that Tx FCB insertion conditions (do_csum, do_vlan, do_tstamp) have not been met.

2013-08-05gianfar: Fix Tx csum generation errata handlingClaudiu Manoil1-19/+25
Both [eTSEC76] and [eTSEC12] errata relate to Tx checksum generation (for some MPC83xx and MCP8548 older revisions). They require the same workaround: manual checksum computation and insertion, and disabling the H/W Tx csum acceleration feature (per frame) through Tx FCB (Frame Control Block) csum offload settings. The workaround for [eTSEC76] needs to be fixed because it currently fails to disable H/W Tx csum insertion via FCB. This patch fixes it and provides a common workaround implementation for both Tx csum errata. Signed-off-by: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Don't test for having link and let hardware deal with this situation. Without this patch I see a machine running an -rt patched Linux being stuck in sch_direct_xmit when it looses link while there is still a packet to be sent. In this case the fec_enet_start_xmit routine returned NETDEV_TX_BUSY which makes the network stack reschedule the packet and so sch_direct_xmit calls fec_enet_start_xmit again. I failed to reproduce a complete hang without -rt, but I think the problem exists there, too. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-07-27net: fec: workaround stop tx during errata ERR006358Frank Li2-2/+31
If the ready bit in the transmit buffer descriptor (TxBD[R]) is previously detected as not set during a prior frame transmission, then the ENET_TDAR[TDAR] bit is cleared at a later time, even if additional TxBDs were added to the ring and the ENET_TDAR[TDAR] bit is set. This results in frames not being transmitted until there is a 0-to-1 transition on ENET_TDAR[TDAR]. Workarounds: code can use the transmit frame interrupt flag (ENET_EIR[TXF]) as a method to detect whether the ENET has completed transmission and the ENET_TDAR[TDAR] has been cleared. If ENET_TDAR[TDAR] is detected as cleared when packets are queued and waiting for transmit, then a write to the TDAR bit will restart TxBD processing. This case main happen when loading is light. A ethernet package may not send out utile next package put into tx queue. How to test: while [ true ] do ping <IP> -s 10000 -w 4 ping <IP> -s 6000 -w 2 ping <IP> -s 4000 -w 2 ping <IP> -s 10000 -w 2 done You will see below result in overnight test. 6008 bytes from 10.192.242.116: seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.722 ms 4008 bytes from 10.192.242.116: seq=0 ttl=128 time=1001.008 ms 4008 bytes from 10.192.242.116: seq=1 ttl=128 time=1.010 ms 10008 bytes from 10.192.242.116: seq=0 ttl=128 time=0.896 ms After apply this patch, >1000ms delay disappear.

Commits 4c09eed9 (net: fec: Enable imx6 enet checksum acceleration) and baa70a5c (net: fec: enable pause frame to improve rx prefomance for 1G network) introduced functionality into the FEC driver which is not supported on MCF5272. The registers used to implement this functionality do not exist on MCF5272. Since register defines for MCF5272 are separate from register defines for other chips, building images for MCF5272 fails as follows. fec_main.c: In function 'fec_restart': fec_main.c:520:8: error: 'FEC_RACC' undeclared (first use in this function) fec_main.c:585:3: error: 'FEC_R_FIFO_RSEM' undeclared (first use in this function) fec_main.c:586:3: error: 'FEC_R_FIFO_RSFL' undeclared (first use in this function) fec_main.c:587:3: error: 'FEC_R_FIFO_RAEM' undeclared (first use in this function) fec_main.c:588:3: error: 'FEC_R_FIFO_RAFL' undeclared (first use in this function) fec_main.c:591:3: error: 'FEC_OPD' undeclared (first use in this function) Adding the missing register defines is not an option, since the registers do not exist on MCF5272.

Older Single Queue (SQ_SG_MODE) devices like TSEC (i.e. mpc83xx) don't feature the frame receive indication bits (RXF) in RSTAT. For these and for the rest of the SQ_SG_MODE devices, provide the appropiate polling routine that handles a single pair of Rx/Tx BD rings, removing the overhead incurred by the multiple queues/ multiple interrupt group devices (veTSEC/ eTSEC2.0 devices).
