[PATCH] b44: power down PHY when interface down

[Török Edvin]

When the interface is down (or driver removed), the BroadCom 44xx card remains
powered on, and both its MAC and PHY is using up power.
This patch makes the driver issue a MAC_CTRL_PHY_PDOWN when the interface
is halted, and does a partial chip reset turns off the activity LEDs too.

Applies to 2.6.22-rc6, or current git head.

Tested on a Broadcom BCM4401-B0 card, it saves ~0.5W (measured using powertop).

Do you still get link beat detection when the phy is powered down?

does that matter?
If the interface is down, nic drivers aren't expected to detect 
link... if userspace wants to find link status it should have the 
interface up.

If that's the policy, why do we leave this up to individual drivers? 
Right now most of them let you make the query regardless of interface 
state.

I'd agree that there's a need for a state where we power down as much as 
possible (even at the cost of functionality), but where possible it 
would also be nice to offer a state where the mac is powered down and 
the phy left up. If the existing semantics are confused then it would be 
nice to fix them, too.

There are PHYs which can detect that someone's on the other end even
when powered down..

Hm, I was going to measure the real power advantage with a
PCI-extender card. But my B44B0 card doesn't seem to work in
that extender card. It works perfectly fine sticked directly into
the motherboard, though, and other cards like a BCM4318 work in
the extender, too.
Not sure what this is.
The extender has an application note about nonworking cards in the
extender and a too big resistor on the board IDSEL pin being the
cause of this.
Maybe I can try with another machine tomorrow.

Does the card show up in lspci at all?  IDSEL drive strength
issues should only affect config space accesses.

Does the extender board have a PCI-PCI bridge on it?  (If not,
there's not really any reason to resistively couple the IDSEL
line to the host, since the host should take care of that.)


> Maybe I can try with another machine tomorrow.

That would only make a difference if there is no PCI-PCI bridge on
the extender board.

If the extender resistively couples the host's IDSEL line, you might
see different results on a different host bridge, since different
host bridges can use different numbers of IDSEL stepping cycles.

No it doesn't.

Yeah.

There's no bridge. It just decouples all voltage lines, so you can
drive it from external supply and/or measure voltages and current.
On the PCB it looks like the the IDSEL line is rather directly
routed to the host IDSEL. It just goes through one of the bus
isolation chips. So I guess (just my guess) that this chip has some
resistance and if the total resistance of the chip + the IDSEL
resistor on the mainboard goes above some threshold it doesn't work
anymore for some cards. In the application note they write
about trouble for IDSEL resistors >51ohms.

Well, they suggest it in the application note as a possible fix. ;)

Right, so it sounds like it might be this issue.

More or less.  You can't add the resistances like that, since the
bus isolation chip buffers the IDSEL signal, but it is correct that
if the host's IDSEL resistor is larger than a certain value, the
combination of the resistive coupling of IDSEL plus the extra buffer
in the isolator might be causing the IDSEL input on the 'guest' PCI
board to assert too late (or not assert at all), causing config
accesses to fail.

(This also depends on the specific 'guest' PCI board used, as you
noted, due to differing IDSEL trace lengths/capacitances and input
pin capacitances on different PCI boards.  Also, it might work at
33 MHz but not work at 66 MHz, etc.)

If you feel adventurous, you could try to hack around this by
figuring out which AD[31:16] line this PCI slot's IDSEL line is
resistively coupled to (depends on the slot), and then adding
another parallel resistor on the board itself to make the bus
isolator's input buffer charge faster.  Note that this does
increase the load on that specific AD[] line, which might cause
other funny effects.

The bus isolation chip doesn't count as a PCI-PCI bridge. :)  I'm just
saying that you wouldn't see the issue you are seeing now if the
extender board had a real PCI-PCI bridge on it, since in that case the
type 0 config access to the guest PCI board would be generated by the
bridge instead of by the host.

It doesn't work on any of my boards :(

Well, but how to find out to which address line it's connected to?
Pretty hard to follow the PCB traces, especially since it's
multilayered.

Thanks, I have updated the patch.

When the interface is down (or driver removed), the BroadCom 44xx card
remains powered on,
and both its MAC and PHY is using up power.
This patch makes the driver issue a MAC_CTRL_PHY_PDOWN when the
interface is halted.
Also doing a partial chip reset turns off the activity LEDs too.

No.
As for link detection on the switch connected to this card:
If I have WoL turned off, then I don't get link beat detection.
If I have WoL turned on, then PHY won't be powered down, and I get
link detection on the switch.

I don't get link beat detection with the original driver either, when
interface is down
(unless I pass it -a, but then it will bring the interface up).

[Sorry about that, resending again]



When the interface is down (or driver removed), the BroadCom 44xx card remains powered on,
and both its MAC and PHY is using up power.
This patch makes the driver issue a MAC_CTRL_PHY_PDOWN when the interface is halted.
Also doing a partial chip reset turns off the activity LEDs too.

What extender board is this?  Do you have docs/schematics?
And what motherboard brand/type?

Actually, the IDSEL resistor would be on the computer's
motherboard, not on the PCI board.  And to which address line
the IDSEL line is connected depends on which PCI slot on the
motherboard you're looking at.

A multimeter should do the trick, but I would advise against this
if you're not totally comfortable with hacking hardware.

Docs yes, schematics no.

ABit AI7
The other was some MSI and some very old random board. dunno.
It works perfectly fine with other cards, like a linksys
wlan card with a broadcom 4318 chip. It's just the b44
that doesn't work in the extender.

Yeah, I know.

Sure.

Well, you mean to measure the idsel against each possible AD line?
It's difficult, because the motherboard is inside of a standard
computer case and a watercooling system is mounted. So I would
have to disassemble all that stuff. :/
Probably I can measure it with very thin probes on the slots
without unmounting the board, hm...

Ok, the resistor on the board is 100ohm, which is too big
according to the docs of the extender.
So what I tried is to connect a 10ohm resistor between
IDSEL and the AD pin, on the extender itself. But it didn't
do the trick. It still doesn't work.
I also connected a 10ohm resistor between IDSEL and the AD
pin directly on the mainboard. Also doesn't work. So I guess
it's some other issue.
But I have no idea what could be wrong besides that.
