Well, I did it with yours applied already but it seems like they don't really conflict so they can be applied pretty much in any order.

Re: [PATCH] sungem: PHY updates pause fixes
From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 03 Jan 2007 16:40:02 +1100 On the quad G5 which has tg3, I get Flow control is on for TX and on for RX. Let me double check if I'm on the same switch... Heh ! It's not :-) If I switch the cables, then pause is enabled on the sungem box and disabled (both Tx and Rx) on tg3, so at least the behaviour is consistent and follow the switches. Let me check the switch models... The one with only asym. support is a big Cisco Catalyst 3350 (well.. big but not that many ports :-) The one with classic pause support is a tiny Netgear GS116 It's possible that the cisco is just misconfigured though, I'll have to ask Keith when he's around tomorrow to take a peek at the mgmnt interface. Thanks for tracking this down :-) You should try to use flow control, even slower than 1000Mbit links. Sorry, not sure I parse ;-) You mean allowing pause on 10 and 100 as well ? I sure can, it's easy to fix. That's correct. On it's way. I've applied that patch, thanks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Re: [PATCH] sungem: PHY updates pause fixes
From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 03 Jan 2007 15:58:05 +1100 This patch adds support for a few more PHYs used by Apple and fixes advertising and detecting of Pause (we were missing setting the bit in MII_ADVERTISE and weren't testing in LPA for all PHYs). I only do it for gigabit capable PHYs for now. Note that I currently only advertise pause, not asymetric pause. I don't know for sure the details there, I suppose I should read a bit more 802.3 references, and I don't now what sungem is capable of, but I noticed the PCS code (originated from you) does the same. Unfortunately, whatever switches we have here also seem to only support asym. pause, so while I did a quick test to verify that pause is properly enabled on a cross-over cable to another machine, I still get occasional RX fifo overflows due to pause support lacking on our internal network. So let me know if asym. pause is something we can support with sungem. In which case, it shouldn't be very hard to add in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for finding these bugs, although that's really strange pause behavior you are seeing on your switches. By default, we advertise PAUSE but not ASYM PAUSE in the tg3 driver, and I get flow control on every switch I have here. You should try to use flow control, even slower than 1000Mbit links. That's the only problem I can see, would you mind fixing that and I'll put your change into my net-2.6 tree and perhaps play around with PAUSE on my switches here?

By default, we advertise PAUSE but not ASYM PAUSE in the tg3 driver, and I get flow control on every switch I have here. Yeah, that's strange. I still have the debug values at hand: - I advertise 0x5e1 - I read in LPA 0xc9e1 from the switch (and my bcm PHY tells me Rx and Tx pause disabled in a separate register) Now, I cross-over with a TG3 and I get: - I advertise 0x5e1 (hopefully same value) - I read in LPA 0xc5e1 from the TG3 (and that other register tells me Rx and Tx pause can be enabled). You should try to use flow control, even slower than 1000Mbit links. Sorry, not sure I parse ;-) You mean allowing pause on 10 and 100 as well ? I sure can, it's easy to fix.

Re: [PATCH] sungem: PHY updates pause fixes
The one with only asym. support is a big Cisco Catalyst 3350 (well.. big but not that many ports :-) Ok, I got in the config of the switch with somebody who knows how to speak ciscong, and it seems that it defaults to flow control desired for send and off for receive on all ports, which means it will indeed only advertise support for asymetrical flow control. We've changed the setting for the port on which my sungem g5 is connected to desired on both send and receive, and it now advertises flow control on both, and sungem does pick it up properly. So it's indeed the default setting of those cisco switches that seem to not quite match what drivers like sungem or tg3 like.
