The board I'm using is a GW5904 [1] which has an IMX6 FEC MAC (eth0) connected via RGMII to a MV88E6176 with its downstream P0/P1/P2/P3 to front panel RJ45's (lan1-lan4). What I see is the following: - bring up eth0/lan1 - DHCP ipv4 on lan1 - iperf client to server on network connected to lan1 shows ~150mbps TX without any errors/overruns/frame but 10 or so dropped - iperf server with a 100mbps TCP client test shows - iperf server will hang when connected to from iperf client on lan1 network and I see frame errors from ifconfig: root@xenial:/# ifconfig lan1 lan1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:12:41:F3:E7 inet addr:172.24.22.125 Bcast:172.24.255.255 Mask:255.240.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::2d0:12ff:fe41:f3e7/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:148 errors:0 dropped:30 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:8780 (8.5 KiB) TX bytes:1762 (1.7 KiB) root@xenial:/# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:12:41:F3:E7 inet6 addr: fe80::2d0:12ff:fe41:f3e7/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:386 errors:19 dropped:39 overruns:0 frame:57 TX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:39484 (38.5 KiB) TX bytes:2880 (2.8 KiB) It doesn't appear that this is a new issue as it exists on also on older kernels. Note that the IMX6 has an errata (ERR004512) [2] that limits the theoretical max performance of the FEC to 470mbps (total TX+RX) and if the TX and RK peak datarate is higher than ~400mps there is a risk of ENET RX FIFO overrun but I don't think this is the issue here. It would be the cause of the relatively low throughput of ~150 TX though I would assume.

Hi Tim Can you confirm the counter is this one: /* Report late collisions as a frame error. */ if (status & (BD_ENET_RX_NO | BD_ENET_RX_CL)) ndev->stats.rx_frame_errors++; I don't see anywhere else frame errors are counted, but it would be good to prove we are looking in the right place.

Not sure if this is relevant to you, but https://github.com/laanwj/linux-freedreno-a2xx/commit/076b6542fa27499072ec6c3a7941c8b3c79ba1fd was necessary to fix some MTU issues on a i.MX51.

I did fix an issue recently with that. See commit fbbeefdd21049fcf9437c809da3828b210577f36 Author: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Date: Sun Jul 30 19:36:05 2017 +0200 net: fec: Allow reception of frames bigger than 1522 bytes The FEC Receive Control Register has a 14 bit field indicating the longest frame that may be received. It is being set to 1522. Frames longer than this are discarded, but counted as being in error. When using DSA, frames from the switch has an additional header, either 4 or 8 bytes if a Marvell switch is used. Thus a full MTU frame of 1522 bytes received by the switch on a port becomes 1530 bytes when passed to the host via the FEC interface. Change the maximum receive size to 2048 - 64, where 64 is the maximum rx_alignment applied on the receive buffer for AVB capable FEC cores. Use this value also for the maximum receive buffer size. The driver is already allocating a receive SKB of 2048 bytes, so this change should not have any significant effects. Tested on imx51, imx6, vf610. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> However, this is was of an all/nothing problem. All frames with the full MTU were getting dropped, where as i think you are only seeing a few dropped? Anyway, try cherry picking that patch and see if it helps.

I see a burst of FIFO overruns initially when receiving an iperf bandwidth test but that would be caused by the IMX6 errata and should be mitigated via pause frames. After that short burst I see no other errors and iperf works fine. Should we get this patch in the linux-stable tree for the 4.9 kernel? Thanks!
