I get a board with 8168e-vl(10ec:8168 with RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34), everything looks well first, I can use ifconfig to set ip, netmask, etc. And the rx/tx statistics show by ifconfig looks good when I ping another host or ping it from another host. But it don't work, I can't get ICMP REPLAY from both sides, although the RX/TX statistics seem good.
After add some debug code, I found this NIC only accept ethernet broadcast package, it can't filter out the package send to its MAC address, but it works good for sending.So ifconfig show the RX/TX status means it can receive ARP package.(It don't its MAC address, so below) I have try the driver provided by realtek's website, it have the same problem at the first time. BUT IT WORK AFTER I REBOOT with CRTL-ALT-DEL, the reason is that realtek's driver call rtl8168_rar_set in the .shutdown function register with pci_register_driver. Yes, the really reason to make it work is rtl8689_rar_set, this function set extended GigaMAC registers, so after reboot without lost the power, NIC keep the status before reboot. I haven't see any code to set GigaMAC registers in kernel when boot, so I guess BIOS or NIC's circuit make it, but of course one miss the extended GigaMAC registers in this problem. The probe code can get MAC address right, so MAC{0,4} must had been setted, but some guys forget the extended GigaMAC registers. This patch fix it. [ I don't known whether others' realtek's NIC with extended GigaMAC reigisters have the same problem, I meet it in 8168e-vl with RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34, so I make this patch just for it.] Signed-off-by: Wang YanQing <udkni...@gmail.com> --- drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c index 927aa33..e49c08d 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c @@ -3095,7 +3095,30 @@ static void rtl8168e_1_hw_phy_config(struct rtl8169_private *tp) rtl_writephy(tp, 0x0e, 0x0000); rtl_writephy(tp, 0x0d, 0x0000); } +static void rtl8168e_2_workaround(struct rtl8169_private *tp, u8 *addr) +{ + void __iomem *ioaddr = tp->mmio_addr; + u32 high; + u32 low; + + low = addr[0] | (addr[1] << 8) | (addr[2] << 16) | (addr[3] << 24); + high = addr[4] | (addr[5] << 8); + + + RTL_W8(Cfg9346, Cfg9346_Unlock); + if (tp->mac_version == RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34) { + const struct exgmac_reg e[] = { + { .addr = 0xe0, ERIAR_MASK_1111, .val = low }, + { .addr = 0xe4, ERIAR_MASK_1111, .val = high }, + { .addr = 0xf0, ERIAR_MASK_1111, .val = low << 16 }, + { .addr = 0xf4, ERIAR_MASK_1111, .val = high << 16 | + low >> 16 }, + }; + rtl_write_exgmac_batch(tp, e, ARRAY_SIZE(e)); + } + RTL_W8(Cfg9346, Cfg9346_Lock); +} static void rtl8168e_2_hw_phy_config(struct rtl8169_private *tp) { static const struct phy_reg phy_reg_init[] = { @@ -3178,6 +3201,7 @@ static void rtl8168e_2_hw_phy_config(struct rtl8169_private *tp) rtl_w1w0_phy(tp, 0x19, 0x0000, 0x0001); rtl_w1w0_phy(tp, 0x10, 0x0000, 0x0400); rtl_writephy(tp, 0x1f, 0x0000); + rtl8168e_2_workaround(tp, tp->dev->dev_addr); } static void rtl8168f_hw_phy_config(struct rtl8169_private *tp) -- 1.7.11.1.116.g8228a23 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
