From 271225fd57c2f1e0b3f8826df51be6c634affefe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Schlabbach Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2021 02:24:48 +0200 Subject: ixgbe: Document how to enable NBASE-T support Commit a296d665eae1 ("ixgbe: Add ethtool support to enable 2.5 and 5.0 Gbps support") introduced suppression of the advertisement of NBASE-T speeds by default, according to Todd Fujinaka to accommodate customers with network switches which could not cope with advertised NBASE-T speeds, as posted in the E1000-devel mailing list: https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/mailman/message/37106269/ However, the suppression was not documented at all, nor was how to enable NBASE-T support. Properly document the NBASE-T suppression and how to enable NBASE-T support.

This fixes HW initialization error -17 (IXGBE_ERR_PHY_ADDR_INVALID) on Denverton CPUs (a.k.a. the Atom C3000 family) on ports with a 10Gb network plugged in. On those devices, HLREG0[MDCSPD] resets to 1, which combined with the 10Gb network results in a 24MHz MDIO speed, which is apparently too fast for the connected PHY. PHY register reads over MDIO bus return garbage, leading to initialization failure. Reproduced with Linux kernel 4.19 and 5.15-rc7. Can be reproduced using the following setup: * Use an Atom C3000 family system with at least one X552 LAN on the SoC * Disable PXE or other BIOS network initialization if possible (the interface must not be initialized before Linux boots) * Connect a live 10Gb Ethernet cable to an X550 port * Power cycle (not reset, doesn't always work) the system and boot Linux * Observe: ixgbe interfaces w/ 10GbE cables plugged in fail with error -17 Fixes: e84db7272798 ("ixgbe: Introduce function to control MDIO speed") Signed-off-by: Cyril Novikov Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen --- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_x550.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe') diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_x550.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_x550.c index 9724ffb16518..e4b50c7781ff 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_x550.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_x550.c @@ -3405,6 +3405,9 @@ static s32 ixgbe_reset_hw_X550em(struct ixgbe_hw *hw) /* flush pending Tx transactions */ ixgbe_clear_tx_pending(hw); + /* set MDIO speed before talking to the PHY in case it's the 1st time */ + ixgbe_set_mdio_speed(hw); + /* PHY ops must be identified and initialized prior to reset */ status = hw->phy.ops.init(hw); if (status == IXGBE_ERR_SFP_NOT_SUPPORTED || -- cgit
