igb: Fix register defines for all non-82575 hardware

2012-08-09T09:36:05Z

It looks like the register defines for DCA were never updated after going from 82575 to 82576. This change addresses that by updating the defines. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Tested-by: Jeff Pieper Signed-off-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr

igb: fix panic while dumping packets on Tx hang with IOMMU

2012-08-09T09:36:05Z

This patch resolves a "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ..." oops while dumping packet data. The issue occurs with IOMMU enabled due to the address provided by phys_to_virt(). This patch avoids phys_to_virt() by making using skb->data and the address of the pages allocated for Rx. Signed-off-by: Emil Tantilov Tested-by: Jeff Pieper Signed-off-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr

igb: add delay to allow igb loopback test to succeed on 8086:10c9

2012-08-07T07:47:51Z

Some 8086:10c9 NICs have a problem completing the ethtool loopback test. The result looks like this: ethtool -t eth1 The test result is FAIL The test extra info: Register test (offline) 0 Eeprom test (offline) 0 Interrupt test (offline) 0 Loopback test (offline) 13 Link test (on/offline) 0 A bisect clearly points to commit a95a07445ee97a2fef65befafbadcc30ca1bd145. However that seems to only trigger the bug. While adding some printk the problem disappeared, so this might be a timing issue. After some trial and error I discovered that adding a small delay just before igb_write_phy_reg() in igb_integrated_phy_loopback() allows the loopback test to succeed. I was unable to figure out the root cause so far but I expect it to be somewhere in the following executing path igb_integrated_phy_loopback ->igb_write_phy_reg_igp ->igb_write_phy_reg_mdic ->igb_acquire_phy_82575 ->igb_acquire_swfw_sync_82575 The problem could only be observed on 8086:10c9 NICs so far and not all of them show the behaviour. I did not restrict the workaround to this type of NIC as it should do no harm to other igb NICs. With the patch below the loopback test succeeded 500 times in a row using a NIC that would otherwise fail. Signed-off-by: Stefan Assmann Tested-by: Aaron Brown Signed-off-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr

igb: don't break user visible strings over multiple lines in igb_ethtool.c

Even when they go beyond 80 characters, user visible strings should be on one line to make them easy to grep for. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Tested-by: Jeff Pieper Signed-off-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr

igb: correct hardware type (i210/i211) check in igb_loopback_test()

2012-08-04T09:44:29Z

In the original code ... if ((adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_i210) || (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_i210)) { ... the second check of 'adapter->hw.mac.type' is pointless since it tests for the exact same value as the first.

igb: Fix for failure to init on some 82576 devices.

2012-08-04T09:43:47Z

Move nvm invalid size check to before size assigned by mac_type for 82575 and later parts in get_invariants function. This fixes a problem found on some 82576 devices where the part will not initialize because the nvm_read function pointer ends up getting assigned to the incorrect function.

netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc from skb_alloc_page to skb

2012-08-01T01:42:46Z

The skb->pfmemalloc flag gets set to true iff during the slab allocation of data in __alloc_skb that the the PFMEMALLOC reserves were used. If page splitting is used, it is possible that pages will be allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserve without propagating this information to the skb. This patch propagates page->pfmemalloc from pages allocated for fragments to the skb. It works by reintroducing and expanding the skb_alloc_page() API to take an skb. If the page was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves, it is automatically copied. If the driver allocates the page before the skb, it should call skb_propagate_pfmemalloc() after the skb is allocated to ensure the flag is copied properly. Failure to do so is not critical. The resulting driver may perform slower if it is used for swap-over-NBD or swap-over-NFS but it should not result in failure.

igb: reset PHY in the link_up process to recover PHY setting after power down.

2012-07-21T23:07:37Z

There was a previous patch to resolve issue with 82576 losing PHY setting after PHY power down. However that previous implementation triggered speed mismatch and occasional link lost. Now, this patch resolves both initial PHY setting and speed mismatch issues. Signed-off-by: Akeem G. Abodunrin Tested-by: Jeff Pieper Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher
