Subject: [PATCH 00/14] Multiple improvement to qca8k stability
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2021 03:47:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210423014741.11858-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com> (raw)
Currently qca8337 switch are widely used on ipq8064 based router.
On these particular router it was notice a very unstable switch with
port not link detected as link with unknown speed, port dropping
randomly and general unreliability. Lots of testing and comparison
between this dsa driver and the original qsdk driver showed lack of some
additional delay and values. A main difference arised from the original
driver and the dsa one. The original driver didn't use MASTER regs to
read phy status and the dedicated mdio driver worked correctly. Now that
the dsa driver actually use these regs, it was found that these special
read/write operation required mutual exclusion to normal
qca8k_read/write operation. The add of mutex for these operation fixed
the random port dropping and now only the actual linked port randomly
dropped. Adding additional delay for set_page operation and fixing a bug
in the mdio dedicated driver fixed also this problem. The current driver
requires also more time to apply vlan switch. All of these changes and
tweak permit a now very stable and reliable dsa driver and 0 port
dropping. This series is currently tested by at least 5 user with
different routers and all reports positive results and no problems.
