      r8169: fix setting driver_data after register_netdev · 19c9ea36
      Heiner Kallweit 提交于
      pci_set_drvdata() is called only after registering the net_device,
      therefore we could run into a NPE if one of the functions using
      driver_data is called before it's set.
      
      Fix this by calling pci_set_drvdata() before registering the
      net_device.
      
      This fix is a candidate for stable. As far as I can see the
      bug has been there in kernel version 3.2 already, therefore
      I can't provide a reference which commit is fixed by it.
      
      The fix may need small adjustments per kernel version because
      due to other changes the label which is jumped to if
      register_netdev() fails has changed over time.

      r8169: improve interrupt handling · 6c6aa15f
      Heiner Kallweit 提交于
      This patch improves few aspects of interrupt handling:
      - update to current interrupt allocation API
        (use pci_alloc_irq_vectors() instead of deprecated pci_enable_msi())
      - this implicitly will allocate a MSI-X interrupt if available
      - get rid of flag RTL_FEATURE_MSI
      - remove some dead code, intentionally disabling (unreliable) MSI
        being partially available on old PCI chips.
      
      The patch works fine on a RTL8168evl (chip version 34) and on a
      RTL8169SB (chip version 04).

      r8169: simplify and improve check for dash · 9dbe7896
      Heiner Kallweit 提交于
      r8168_check_dash() returns false anyway for all chip versions not
      supporting dash. So we can simplify the check conditions.
      
      In addition change the check functions to return bool instead of int,
      because they actually return a bool value.

      r8169: disable WOL per default · 7edf6d31
      Heiner Kallweit 提交于
      Currently, if BIOS enables WOL in the chip, settings are inconsistent
      because the device isn't marked as wakeup-enabled (if not done
      explicitly via userspace tools). This causes issues with suspend/
      resume because mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend() checks whether device is
      wakeup-enabled. In detail MDIO bus access in phy_suspend() can fail
      because the MDIO bus is disabled.
      
      In the history of the driver we find two competing approaches:
      8f9d5138 "r8169: remember WOL preferences on driver load" prefers
      to preserve what the BIOS may have set, whilst bde135a6
      "r8169: only enable PCI wakeups when WOL is active" disabled PCI
      wakeup per default to work around a bug on one platform.
      
      Seems like nobody complained after the latter patch about non-working
      WOL, what makes me think that nobody uses WOL w/o configuring it
      explicitly.
      
      My opinion:
      Vast majority of users doesn't use WOL even if the BIOS enables it in
      the chip. And having WOL being active keeps the PHY(s) from powering
      down if being idle.
      If somebody needs WOL, he can enable it during boot, e.g. by
      configuring systemd.link/WakeOnLan.
      
      Therefore, to make WOL consistent again, disable it per default.

      r8169: Add support for interrupt coalesce tuning (ethtool -C) · 50970831
      Francois Romieu 提交于
      Kirr: In particular with
      
      	ethtool -C <ifname> rx-usecs 0 rx-frames 0
      
      now it is possible to disable RX delays when NIC usage requires low-latency.
      
      See this thread for context:
      
      	https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg217665.html
      
      My specific case is that:
      
      We have many computers with gigabit Realtek NICs. For 2 such computers
      connected to a gigabit store-and-forward switch the minimum round-trip
      time for small pings (`ping -i 0 -w 3 -s 56 -q peer`) is ~ 30μs.
      
      However it turned out that when Ethernet frame length transitions 127 ->
      128 bytes (`ping -i 0 -w 3 -s {81 -> 82} -q peer`) the lowest RTT
      transitions step-wise to ~ 270μs.
      
      As David Light said this is RX interrupt mitigation done by NIC which creates
      the latency. For workloads when low-latency is required with e.g. Intel,
      BCM etc NIC drivers one just uses `ethtool -C rx-usecs ...` to reduce
      the time NIC delays before interrupting CPU, but it turned out
      `ethtool -C` is not supported by r8169 driver.
      
      Like Stéphane ANCELOT I've traced the problem down to IntrMitigate being
      hardcoded to != 0 for our chips (we have 8168 based NICs):
      
      https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c#n5460
      static void rtl_hw_start_8169(struct net_device *dev) {
              ...
              /*
               * Undocumented corner. Supposedly:
               * (TxTimer << 12) | (TxPackets << 8) | (RxTimer << 4) | RxPackets
               */
              RTL_W16(IntrMitigate, 0x0000);
      
      https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c#n6346
      static void rtl_hw_start_8168(struct net_device *dev) {
              ...
              RTL_W16(IntrMitigate, 0x5151);
      
      and then I've also found
      
      	https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg217665.html
      
      and original Francois' patch:
      
      	https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg217984.html
      	https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg218207.html
      
      So could we please finally get support for tuning r8169 interrupt
      coalescing in tree? (so that next poor soul who hits the problem does
      not need to go all the way to dig into driver sources and internet
      wildly and finally patch locally
      
              -RTL_W16(IntrMitigate, 0x5151);
              +RTL_W16(IntrMitigate, 0x5100);
      
      guessing whether it is right or not and also having to care to deploy
      the patch everywhere it needs to be used, etc...).
      
      To do so I've took original Francois's patch from 2012 and reworked it a bit:
      
      - updated to latest net-next.git;
      - adjusted scaling setup based on feedback from Hayes to pick up scaling
        vector depending not only on link speed but also on CPlusCmd[0:1] and to
        adjust CPlusCmd[0:1] correspondingly when setting timings;
      - improved a bit (I think so) error handling.
      
      I've tested the patch on "RTL8168d/8111d" (XID 083000c0) and with it and
      `ethtool -C rx-usecs 0 rx-frames 0` on both ends it improves:
      
      - minimum RTT latency:
      
              ~270μs ->  ~30μs (small packet),
              ~330μs -> ~110μs (full 1.5K ethernet frame)
      
      - average RTT latency:
      
              ~480μs ->  ~50μs (small packet),
              ~560μs -> ~125μs (full 1.5K ethernet frame)

        the small -> 1.5K latency growth is understandable as it takes ~15μs
        to transmit 1.5K on 1Gbps on the wire and with 2 hosts and 1 switch
        and ICMP ECHO + ECHO reply the packet has to travel 4 ethernet
        segments which is already 60μs;
      
        probably something a bit else is also there as e.g. on Linux, even
        with `cpupower frequency-set -g performance`, on some computers I've
        noticed the kernel can be spending more time in software-only mode
        when incoming packets go in less frequently. E.g. this program can
        demonstrate the effect for ICMP ECHO processing:
      
        https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/bcc/blob/43cfc13b/tools/pinglat.py
      
        (later this was found to be partly due to C-states exit latencies) )
      
      We have this patch running in our testing setup for 1 months already
      without any issues observed.
      
      It remains to be clarified whether RX and TX timers use the same base.
      For now I've set them equally, but Francois's original patch version
      suggests it could be not the same.
      
      I've got no feedback at all to my original posting of this patch and questions
      
      	https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg457173.html
      
      neither from Francois, nor from any people from Realtek during one month.
      
      So I suggest we simply apply it to net-next.git now.

      r8169: only enable PCI wakeups when WOL is active · bde135a6
      Daniel Drake 提交于
      rtl_init_one() currently enables PCI wakeups if the ethernet device
      is found to be WOL-capable. There is no need to do this when
      rtl8169_set_wol() will correctly enable or disable the same wakeup flag
      when WOL is activated/deactivated.
      
      This works around an ACPI DSDT bug which prevents the Acer laptop models
      Aspire ES1-533, Aspire ES1-732, PackardBell ENTE69AP and Gateway NE533
      from entering S3 suspend - even when no ethernet cable is connected.
      
      On these platforms, the DSDT says that GPE08 is a wakeup source for
      ethernet, but this GPE fires as soon as the system goes into suspend,
      waking the system up immediately. Having the wakeup normally disabled
      avoids this issue in the default case.
      
      With this change, WOL will continue to be unusable on these platforms
      (it will instantly wake up if WOL is later enabled by the user) but we
      do not expect this to be a commonly used feature on these consumer
      laptops. We have separately determined that WOL works fine without any
      ACPI GPEs enabled during sleep, so a DSDT fix or override would be
      possible to make WOL work.
