[PATCH net-master 0/1] DP83867 Speed optimization feature

[PATCH net-master 0/1] DP83867 Speed optimization feature

[Dan Murphy]

Hello

Speed optimization, also known as link downshift, enables fallback to 100M
operation after multiple consecutive failed attempts at Gigabit link
establishment. Such a case could occur if cabling with only four wires
were connected instead of the standard cabling with eight wires.
Speed optimization also supports fallback to 10M if link establishment fails
in Gigabit and in 100M mode.

Speed optimization can be enabled via strap or via register configuration.
The 48 pin devices do not have the ability to strap this feature and the PHY
team suggested to enable this bit for all use cases.

[PATCH net-master 1/1] net: phy: dp83867: Add speed optimization feature

[Dan Murphy]

Set the speed optimization bit on the DP83867 PHY.
This feature can also be strapped on the 64 pin PHY devices
but the 48 pin devices do not have the strap pin available to enable
this feature in the hardware.  PHY team suggests to have this bit set.

With this bit set the PHY will auto negotiate and report the link
parameters in the PHYSTS register and not in the BMCR.  So we need to
over ride the genphy_read_status with a DP83867 specific read status.

While we wait for the PHY folk to take a look, could you please 
provide a Fixes tag?

Hmm. This is not a bug fix though this is a new feature being added.

Not sure what it would be fixing.

I see, you target the patch at net which is for fixes, so I
misinterpreted this:

as you fixing 48 devices or such.

So please correct the tree to net-next and since net-next is now closed:
http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html
only post as RFC until net-next opens back up.

Not really fixing them just enabling them to use this feature.

OK, but why and how does that optimization work exactly? Departing from
the BMSR reads means you possibly are going to introduce bugs and/or
incomplete information. For instance, you set phydev->pause and
phydev->asym_pause to 0 now, is there no way to extract what the link
partner has advertised?

That should be BMSR, the BMCR is about control, not status.

I described this in the cover letter.  And it is explained in the data 
sheet Section 8.4.6.6

I was using the marvel.c as my template as it appears to have a separate 
status register as well.

Instead of setting those bits in the call back I can call the 
genphy_read_status then override the duplex and speed based on the 
physts register like below.  This way link status and pause values can 
be updated and then we can update the speed and duplex settings.

       ret = genphy_read_status(phydev);
     if (ret)
         return ret;

     if (status < 0)
         return status;

     if (status & DP83867_PHYSTS_DUPLEX)
         phydev->duplex = DUPLEX_FULL;
     else
         phydev->duplex = DUPLEX_HALF;

     if (status & DP83867_PHYSTS_1000)
         phydev->speed = SPEED_1000;
     else if (status & DP83867_PHYSTS_100)
         phydev->speed = SPEED_100;
     else
         phydev->speed = SPEED_10;

Sorry I complete missed that and just focused on the patch, you should
consider not providing a cover letter for a single patch, and especially
not when the cover letter contains more information than the patch
commit message itself.

Sorry I usually give a cover letter to all my network related patches.

Unless I misinterpreted David on his reply to me about cover letters.

https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg617575.html

And I seemed to have missed David on the --cc list so I will add him for v2.

I was also asked not to provide the same information in the cover letter 
and the commit message.

Either way I am ok with not providing a cover letter and updating the 
commit message with more information.

Well in parsing through the code for genphy read status when auto 
negotiation is set the phydev structure appears to be setup per what has 
been configured.  I did not see any reading of speed or duplex when auto 
neg is set it is just taking the LPA register. But I am probably not 
right here.  So we and our customers found that the phy was always 
reporting a 1Gbps connection when the 4 wire cable connected when using 
genphy_read_status.  This PHYSTS register provides a single location 
within the register set for quick access to commonly accessed
information.

The PHYSTS register from the chip is what the PHY negotiated with the LP.

[   10.404355] dp83867_read_status:STS is 0x6C02  - PHYSTS register 
reporting a 100Mbps speed with a 4 wire cable
[   10.413450] dp83867_read_status:BMCR is 0x1140  - BMCR is configured 
for a 1Gbps connection with a 4 wire cable.  But the speed should be 
100Mbps.
[   10.417906] dp83867_read_status:BMSR is 0x796D  - BMSR which just 
states what the device is capable of doing but does not report the 
actual speed or duplex mode.

So unless I missed some code in the phy_device or phy_core this is the 
only way I could see to report the correct negotiated speed and duplex mode.

This was a 2 patches series, for which a cover letter is mandatory:

but for single patches, there really is no need, and having to replicate
the same information in two places is just error prone.

The cover letter is meant to provide some background about choices you
have made, or how to merge the patches, or their dependencies, and
describe the changes in a big picture. The patches themselves are
supposed to be comprehensive.

That is the kind of information that you want to put in the commit
message, and that sounds like a Fix more than a feature to me. If the
BMSR is not reflecting the correct speed, clearly something is not quite
good. You may also consider reflecting whether downshift was in action
and that led to reducing the speed, something like
m88e1011_link_change_notify() does.

As always thank you for the guidance.  I will update the commit with 
better information and remove the cover letter.

But what is it fixing?  When the driver was originally submitted it was 
meant to be a Giga bit PHY.  No requirement for any connection less then 
1Gbps. Now we have a customer who wants to use this feature and they 
want it upstreamed.  (YAY for them pushing upstream).

Do I reference my original commit?  Because I am actually flipping the 
bits to turn it on as well only way this was a fix is if the user had 
the feature strapped to on.  But to date we have not had any requests 
for this support.

So then it would be ok to do a genphy_read_status and then override the 
speed and duplex mode from the PHYSTS register?

I don't think that the link change notification is needed.  The speed 
should not change once the cable is plugged in and the speed is negotiated.

I would think so yes, especially if that is needed for reporting the
actual link speed that ended up being negotiated, and not the one that
the link was initially trained at. That assumes I understand that the
problem is that you advertise and want Gigabit, but because of a 4-wire
cable being plugged in, you ended up at 100Mbits/sec.

The link change notification is just to signal to the user that the
speed may have been reduced due to downshifting, which would/could
happen with 4-wires instead of the expected 8-wires. Certainly not
strictly necessary right now, I agree.

It's ok to enable downshift by default, however it would be good to
make it configurable. Best implement the downshift tunable, you can
use the Marvell PHY driver as reference.
Can the number of attempts until downshifts happens be configured?

Yes we can tune the number of attempts it makes to negotiate 1000Mbps 
before enabling the speed optimization.  But why would we need to 
configure the number of attempts currently it is defaulted to 4.  Is 
there a use case for this level of configurability?

Some customers may prefer a fast(er) link re-negotiation once they know
the cabling is faulty or sub-optimal. The default is usually fine, and
if you want to support the downshift ethtool tunable when net-next opens
back up, that would be a welcome addition.
