am335x: cpsw: phy ignores max-speed setting

[Yegor Yefremov]

I' m trying to override max-speed setting for both CPSW connected
PHYs. This is my DTS section for configuring CPSW:

&mac {
        pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
        pinctrl-0 = <&cpsw_default>;
        pinctrl-1 = <&cpsw_sleep>;
        dual_emac = <1>;

        status = "okay";
};

&davinci_mdio {
        pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
        pinctrl-0 = <&davinci_mdio_default>;
        pinctrl-1 = <&davinci_mdio_sleep>;

        status = "okay";
};

&cpsw_emac0 {
        phy_id = <&davinci_mdio>, <0>;
        phy-mode = "rgmii-id";
        dual_emac_res_vlan = <1>;
        max-speed = <100>;
};

&cpsw_emac1 {
        phy_id = <&davinci_mdio>, <1>;
        phy-mode = "rgmii-id";
        dual_emac_res_vlan = <2>;
        max-speed = <100>;
};

But in drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c->of_set_phy_supported() routine I
don't get through node check, i.e. node == NULL. Any idea why?

static void of_set_phy_supported(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
        struct device_node *node = phydev->dev.of_node;
        u32 max_speed;

        if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF_MDIO))
                return;

        if (!node)
                return;

        if (!of_property_read_u32(node, "max-speed", &max_speed)) {
                /* The default values for phydev->supported are
provided by the PHY
                 * driver "features" member, we want to reset to sane
defaults fist
                 * before supporting higher speeds.
                 */
                phydev->supported &= PHY_DEFAULT_FEATURES;

                switch (max_speed) {
                default:
                        return;

                case SPEED_1000:
                        phydev->supported |= PHY_1000BT_FEATURES;
                case SPEED_100:
                        phydev->supported |= PHY_100BT_FEATURES;
                case SPEED_10:
                        phydev->supported |= PHY_10BT_FEATURES;
                }
        }
}

ooh! ooh! I have a BQL enablement patch for the cpsw that I have no
means of testing against multiple phys. Could
you give the attached very small patch a shot along the way?

The results I get on the beaglebone vs netperf-wrapper are pretty
spectacular - huge increase in throughput, big reduction in
latency.

Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2014 08:45:30 -0800
Subject: [PATCH] Add BQL support to the TI cpsw driver

Tested on the beaglebone black.

I get a huge improvement in both throughput and latency.

Latency goes from 60ms worst case with pfifo_fast, and 12ms worst case with
sch_fq to 2.5ms with BQL enabled.

Throughput improved also.

Yes, because the 'max-speed' property is placed at the Ethernet MAC node
level, not the PHY node as of_set_phy_supported() expect its.

This driver does not appear to use the standard Ethernet PHY device tree
node, so I am not sure what are your options here.

Please send this patch inline, so that we can comment, and start a new

You need to call netdev_sent_queue(ndev, len); at the correct place,
because we can not 'undo' it.

One trivial bit and another possible patch below it

this
+       dev_info(priv->dev, "BQL enabled\n");
might be better as:
+	cpsw_info(priv, link, "BQL enabled\n");

Is this the change that matters most?

-#define CPSW_POLL_WEIGHT       64
+#define CPSW_POLL_WEIGHT       16

If so, maybe this could be limited by a sysctl:

Did you try adding a printk here to make sure it is actually called?

Do you have CONFIG_OF_MDIO on?  I would think so.

The SoC has a complex structure, i.e. Ethernet controller has a switch
inside with two slaves.

A workaround would be perhaps to handle this option in cpsw driver.

Mugunthan, what do you think about this?

Yes, CPSW is different from what linux networking is designed for, it
has two ethernet slave and acts as a Layer 2 switch.

* If you need on a run time basis you can change the supported speed via
ethtool advertise interface
* If needed on boot for nfs then need to think of how it can be achieved
in cpsw driver. Will have a look and update this thread.

ethtool is working, but requires a custom script, so DTS solution
would suite better.

That might be difficult to achieve with variable rates.
