Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-09-23
This series contains updates to ixgbe only.
Mark provides all the changes in this series, first clears the destination
location for I2C data initially so that the received data will not be
corrupted by previous attempts. Then reduced the pauses/delays in the
PHY detection when no SFP is present by reducing the number of retires,
once an SFP is detected, the "normal" number of retries in PHY detection
will be used. Added support for X55EM_x SFP+ dual-speed, and fixed 1G and
10G link stability for X550EM_x by configuring the CS4227 correctly by
moving code to ixgbe_setup_mac_link_sfp_x550em(). Added functionality to
reset CS4227, since on some platforms the CS4227 does not initialize
properly. Next reduces the SFP polling rate, due to when an SFP is not
present, the I2C timeouts that result are very costly. So prevent the
SFP polling from being done more than once every two seconds. Added
support for I2C bus MUX. Fixed the setting of RDRXCTL register which
should fall through X540 and 82599, not 82598. In addition, added small
packet padding support in X550 by setting RDRXCTL.PSP when the driver is
in SRIOV mode. Fixed a known hardware issue where the PCI transactions
pending bit sticks high when there are pending transactions, so
workaround the issue by wait and then continue with our reset flow.
Added a new device ID for X550EM device with SFPs. Provided a fix with
the DCA setup, which was suggested by Alex Duyck <aduyck@mirantis.com>,
by making it so that we always set the relaxed ordering bits related to
the DCA registers even if DCA is not enbaled. Then moves the
configuration out of the ixgbe_down() and into ixgbe_configure() before
enabling the transmit and receive rings. This ensures that DCA is
configured correctly before starting the processing of packets.
Fixed VM-to-VM loopback mode which requires that FCRTH be set, but
the datasheets did not specify what the value should be. It has now
been determined that the correct value should be RXPBSIZE - (24*1024).
