e1000e: disable jumbo frames on 82579 when MACsec enabled in EEPROM

2011-03-11T10:23:21+00:00

If/when an OEM enables MACsec in the 82579 EEPROM, disable jumbo frames support in the driver due to an interoperability issue in hardware that prevents jumbo packets from being transmitted or received. Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan Tested-by: Jeff Pieper Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

e1000e: support new PBA format from EEPROM

2010-12-11T06:13:37+00:00

Provide support to e1000e for displaying the new format of the PBA found in the EEPROM. The unique PBA identifier is no longer restricted to hexadecimal numbers and must now be read and displayed as a string. Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan Tested-by: Jeff Pieper Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

e1000e: 82571 SerDes link handle null code word from partner

2010-11-17T03:50:13+00:00

SerDes Link detection on certain 82571 mezzanine cards can fail when the link is forced, the link partner does not recognize forced link and the link partner sends null code words. Detect the null code words and return to auto-negotiation state which causes the link partner to begin responding with valid code words. Within a reasonable interval the link will finally settle as forced by both partners. Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

e1000e: use hardware writeback batching

2010-10-01T00:59:31+00:00

Most e1000e parts support batching writebacks. The problem with this is that when some of the TADV or TIDV timers are not set, Tx can sit forever. This is solved in this patch with write flushes using the Flush Partial Descriptors (FPD) bit in TIDV and RDTR. This improves bus utilization and removes partial writes on e1000e, particularly from 82571 parts in S5500 chipset based machines. Only ES2LAN and 82571/2 parts are included in this optimization, to reduce testing load. Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg Tested-by: Emil Tantilov Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S.

e1000e: don't check for alternate MAC addr on parts that don't support it

2010-08-19T22:48:52+00:00

From: Bruce Allan The alternate MAC address feature is only supported by 80003ES2LAN and 82571 LOMs as well as a couple 82571 mezzanine cards. Checking for an alternate MAC address on other parts can fail leading to the driver not able to load. This patch limits the check for an alternate MAC address to be done only for parts that support the feature. This issue has been around since support for the feature was introduced to the e1000e driver in 2.6.34.

e1000e: fix checks for manageability enabled and management pass-through

2010-05-13T06:31:13+00:00

The mac->arc_subsystem was being incorrectly used to flag whether or not manageability was enabled when it should only be used to state whether the ARC (Host interface) subsystem is available on a particular MAC _and_ only valid when any manageability is enabled. The ARC subsystem is currently only available on 80003es2lan and 82573 parts supported by the driver. A new flag, has_fwsm, is introduced to be used when checking if manageability is enabled but only on parts that acutally have an FWSM register. While the above parts have an FWSM register, there are other parts that have FWSM but do not have support for the ARC subsystem, namely 82571/2 and ICHx/PCH. And then there are parts that have manageability, but do not have either FWSM register or support for the ARC subsystem - these are 82574 and 82583. For 80003es2lan, 82571/2/3 and ICH/PCH parts, this patch makes no functional changes, it only corrects the usage of the manageability flags. For 82574 and 82583, it fixes the incorrect accesses of the non-existent FWSM register and ARC subsystem as well as corrects the check for management pass-through.
