* [TG3]: Exit irq handler during chip reset.Michael Chan2007-03-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On most tg3 chips, the memory enable bit in the PCI command register gets cleared during chip reset and must be restored before accessing PCI registers using memory cycles. The chip does not generate interrupt during chip reset, but the irq handler can still be called because of irq sharing or irqpoll. Reading a register in the irq handler can cause a master abort in this scenario and may result in a crash on some architectures. Use the TG3_FLAG_CHIP_RESETTING flag to tell the irq handler to exit without touching any registers. The checking of the flag is in the "slow" path of the irq handler and will not affect normal performance. The msi handler is not shared and therefore does not require checking the flag.

* [TG3]: TSO workaround fixes.Michael Chan2007-02-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Add race condition check after netif_stop_queue(). tg3_tx() runs without netif_tx_lock and can race with tg3_start_xmit_dma_bug() -> tg3_tso_bug(). 2. Firmware TSO in 5703/5704/5705 also have the same TSO limitation, i.e. they cannot handle TSO headers bigger than 80 bytes. Rename TG3_FL2_HW_TSO_1_BUG to TG3_FL2_TSO_BUG and set this flag on these chips as well. 3. Update version to 3.74. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TG3]: Improve ASF heartbeat.Michael Chan2006-09-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change to a different ASF heartbeat message code to improve reliability. There were some reports of unintended resets on real time kernels where the timer may be slow and cause the heartbeat to be late. Netpoll will also have the same problem because the timer irq will be unavailable. Using the new heartbeat code, the ASF firmware will also check the ring condition before resetting the chip when the heartbeat is expiring.

* [TG3]: Fix tx race conditionMichael Chan2006-08-071-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a subtle race condition between tg3_start_xmit() and tg3_tx() discovered by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>: CPU0 CPU1 tg3_start_xmit() if (tx_ring_full) { tx_lock tg3_tx() if (!netif_queue_stopped) netif_stop_queue() if (!tx_ring_full) update_tx_ring netif_wake_queue() tx_unlock } Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in tg3_tx() in program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above. This scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if tg3_tx() has just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening should be very rare though. The following changes are made: 1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition. 2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on netif_tx_lock. This eliminates one spinlock in tg3_start_xmit() when the ring is full. 3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx() before calling netif_wake_queue(). 4. Change TX_BUFFS_AVAIL to an inline function with a memory barrier. Herbert and David suggested using the memory barrier instead of volatile. 5. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx(). This reduces the number of unnecessary spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition. 6. Update version to 3.65. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [TG3]: Convert to non-LLTXMichael Chan2006-06-171-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Herbert Xu pointed out that it is unsafe to call netif_tx_disable() from LLTX drivers because it uses dev->xmit_lock to synchronize whereas LLTX drivers use private locks. Convert tg3 to non-LLTX to fix this issue. tg3 is a lockless driver where hard_start_xmit and tx completion handling can run concurrently under normal conditions. A tx_lock is only needed to prevent netif_stop_queue and netif_wake_queue race condtions when the queue is full. So whether we use LLTX or non-LLTX, it makes practically no difference.

* [TG3]: Add recovery logic when MMIOs are re-orderedMichael Chan2006-06-171-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add recovery logic when we suspect that the system is re-ordering MMIOs. Re-ordered MMIOs to the send mailbox can cause bogus tx completions and hit BUG_ON() in the tx completion path. tg3 already has logic to handle re-ordered MMIOs by flushing the MMIOs that must be strictly ordered (such as the send mailbox). Determining when to enable the flush is currently a manual process of adding known chipsets to a list. The new code replaces the BUG_ON() in the tx completion path with the call to tg3_tx_recover(). It will set the TG3_FLAG_MBOX_WRITE_REORDER flag and reset the chip later in the workqueue to recover and start flushing MMIOs to the mailbox. A message to report the problem will be printed. We will then decide whether or not to add the host bridge to the list of chipsets that do re-ordering. We may add some additional code later to print the host bridge's ID so that the user can report it more easily. The assumption that re-ordering can only happen on x86 systems is also removed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of all the SUN_570X logic and instead: 1) Make sure MEMARB_ENABLE is set when we probe the SRAM for config information. If that is off we will get timeouts. 2) Always try to sync with the firmware, if there is no firmware running do not treat it as an error and instead just report it the first time we notice this condition. 3) If there is no valid SRAM signature, assume the device is onboard by setting TG3_FLAG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROT.

* [TG3]: Speed up SRAM access (2nd version)Michael Chan2006-04-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Speed up SRAM read and write functions if possible by using MMIO instead of config. cycles. With this change, the post reset signature done at the end of D3 power change must now be moved before the D3 power change. IBM reported a problem on powerpc blades during ethtool self test that was caused by the memory test taking excessively long. Config. cycles are very slow on powerpc and the memory test can take more than 10 seconds to complete using config. cycles. David Miller informed me that an earlier version of the patch caused problems on sparc64 systems with built-in tg3 chips. This version fixes the problem by excluding all SUN built-in tg3 chips from doing MMIO SRAM access. TG3_FLAG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROT is also set unconditionally when TG3_FLG2_SUN_570X is set. This should be sane as all SUN chips are built-in and do not require Vaux switching. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

MAC_RX_MODE reset must be done before setting up the MAC_MODE register on 5705_PLUS chips or the chip will stop receiving after a while. The MAC_RX_MODE reset is needed to prevent intermittently losing the first receive packet on serdes chips. 2. Skip MAC loopback test on 5780 because of hardware errata. Normal traffic including PHY loopback is not affected by the errata. 3. PHY loopback fails intermittently on 5708S and this is fixed by putting the PHY in loopback mode first before programming the MAC mode register. A MAC_RX_MODE reset is also added. 4.

* [TG3]: Add indirect register method for 5703 behind ICHMichael Chan2005-08-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the new workaround for 5703 A1/A2 if it is behind certain ICH bridges. The workaround disables memory and uses config. cycles only to access all registers. The 5702/03 chips can mistakenly decode the special cycles from the ICH chipsets as memory write cycles, causing corruption of register and memory space. Only certain ICH bridges will drive special cycles with non-zero data during the address phase which can fall within the 5703's address range. This is not an ICH bug as the PCI spec allows non-zero address during special cycles. However, only these ICH bridges are known to drive non-zero addresses during special cycles. The indirect_lock is also changed to spin_lock_irqsave from spin_lock_bh because it is used in irq handler when using the indirect method to disable interrupts.

In this mode, instead of a "on/off" binary semaphore, an incrementing tag scheme is used to ACK interrupts. All MSI supporting chips support TAGGED mode, so the tg3_msi() interrupt handler uses it unconditionally. This invariant is verified when MSI support is tested. Since we can invoke tg3_poll() multiple times per interrupt under high packet load, we fetch a new copy of the tag value in the status block right before we actually do the work. Also, because the tagged status tells the chip exactly which work we have processed, we can make two optimizations: 1) tg3_restart_ints() need not check tg3_has_work() 2) the tg3_timer() need not poke the chip 10 times per second to keep from losing interrupt events Based upon valuable feedback from Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
