Subject: [PATCH v4 00/17] hw/arm/raspi4b: working PCIe and GENET (real networking)
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 09:35:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261018133603.64323-1-marcelomanzo@gmail.com> (raw)
This series gets raspi4b's PCIe root complex and GENET Ethernet
controller working end to end: the PCIe link comes up and devices on
it enumerate, and GENET passes real network traffic (DHCP, SSH, bulk
downloads) under both older (Debian 11, 5.15) and newer (Debian 13,
6.18) guest kernels. Most of the GENET code is Sergey Kambalin's
2024 series (patchwork series 829638), carried forward with his
authorship and Signed-off-by kept.
v4: thanks to Peter for the review.
- Patch 1: move the dc->user_creatable rationale comment next to
the line it explains; add a VMStateDescription for the root port
(PCI device, AER log and the regs[] array).
- Patch 2: treat root_port.regs[] as little-endian bytes and access
it with ldn_le_p()/stn_le_p()/ldl_le_p() instead of memcpy() and
a uint32_t * overlay. Drop pci_bus_set_route_irq_fn(), its
callback and the irq_num[] storage that only fed it: INTx routing
queries come only from VFIO (with KVM irqfds), some x86 code and
hw/remote, none of which applies to raspi4b.
- Patch 3: drop the call to the removed set_irq_num() helper.
- Patch 4: set both min and max access size on impl and valid.
- Patch 8: BCM2838GenetPhyAuxShdRegs becomes an array of uint16_t
rather than a struct, as suggested on patch 11.
- Patch 10: access the register block as host-order uint32_t at the
register's offset instead of memcpy() of an arbitrary size (the
HFB filter array becomes uint32_t too, so every register in the
block is one); do not call qemu_macaddr_default_if_unset() when
the guest programs a MAC address, just update the NIC info
string; accept an access that ends exactly at the end of the
register block.
- Patch 11: do not call bcm2838_genet_phy_update_link() from the
MDIO patch; it is only defined by the RX patch, so the series did
not build at this point. The prototype and the call move to the
RX patch. Reword the "8 bits" comment and assert that the
expansion shadow register indexes are in range.
- Patch 12: check that a TX frame is at least a status block plus
an Ethernet header, and that a frame's descriptors fit in
tx_packet[]; check that reading the frame from guest memory
succeeded; use lduw_be_p()/stw_be_p(); lower-case local names; add
a helper for building 64-bit values from register halves; drop
redundant "!= 0" on bools; split the producer-index handling out
of bcm2838_genet_tdma() to reduce nesting.
- Patch 13: the same clean-ups as the TX path where they apply;
replace the comment that described an old bug with one noting
that we do not implement the hardware's partial RX checksum and
rely on the guest checking in software.
- New patch 14: add a VMStateDescription for the GENET device,
which had none.
- Patch 17: call require_netdev('user') so the test is skipped on
builds without the user-mode network backend.
- Added Peter's Reviewed-by to patches 3-9 and 15-17. I kept it on
3, 4 and 8 although each changed slightly (the call removed in
3, the access sizes in 4, the array type in 8); please say if you
would rather I dropped it.
Based on master (7e8d3c7fc4); it also applies cleanly to current
master (a19f59a72d). It conflicts trivially (raspi4b.c and
bcm2838_peripherals.[ch]) with the RNG200/thermal series, which is in
target-arm.next; I will rebase once that lands.
Tested: checkpatch.pl reports no errors; every patch builds on its
own; tests/functional/aarch64/test_raspi4.py passes; and unmodified
Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye and Trixie based images boot under raspi4b
with a working network (DHCP, ping, 3MB download, 1MB upload) and SSH.
