Subject: genphy_read_status() vs. 1000bT Pause capability
Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2017 11:49:50 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1490662190.3177.91.camel@kernel.crashing.org> (raw)
Hi !
I noticed that flow control isn't being enabled on a system I'm
working on by default. I've tracked it down to two things:
- The realtec.c PHY driver doesn't have Pause or Asym_Pause in
its exposed capabilities. This is in part because PHY_GBIT_FEATURES
does not include SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause. Is there
a specific reason for that ?
- After I've hacked the above, I get in genphy_read_status():
lpa=c1e1 lpagb=3800 adv=de1 common_adv=1e1 common_adv_gb=800
So we have negociated 1000bT full duplex. LPA_PAUSE's aren't set
but I was under the impression that in Gigabit mode, LPA bit 0x80
which *is* set, meant ADVERTISE_1000XPAUSE which is the pause
capability isn't it ? Or am I confusing with something else ?
This seems to be how mii_adv_to_ethtool_adv_x() decodes them
but that function is not called by genphy_read_status()...
Now it's been a while since I hacked network drivers and back then
everybody did their own salad with gigabit PHYs so it's very possible
that I missed something here.
Should we update genphy_read_status() to grab the pause details
from mii_adv_to_ethtool_adv_x() when in 1000bT mode ?
Thanks !
Cheers,
Ben.
