Hi Nicolas, I did some testing on the current linux-next tree and ran iperf on Zynq. It seems that network and even the whole system can collapse when doing that. I don't really know what's going on, but once I saw the message: "inconsistent Rx descriptor chain" printed twice (system frozen afterwards). I don't know what exactly is going wrong, but suspect something around memory/DMA. I have no clue whether it makes any sense or not, but I tried using the macb_* functions instead of the gem_* ones (see diff below). That seems to result in a stable system and working Ethernet. So, I guess my questions are: Does any of this make sense? Is it reasonable for the Zynq GEM to use the macb_* routines (are there any implementation options to check whether one or the other are appropriate for an macb implementation?)? Any other hints? Thanks, Sören -----------8<-------------8<---------------8<--------------8<----------------8<-------- diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c index d0c38e01e99f..8c73cd43457e 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c @@ -1905,17 +1905,10 @@ static int __init macb_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) dev->base_addr = regs->start; /* setup appropriated routines according to adapter type */ - if (macb_is_gem(bp)) { - bp->macbgem_ops.mog_alloc_rx_buffers = gem_alloc_rx_buffers; - bp->macbgem_ops.mog_free_rx_buffers = gem_free_rx_buffers; - bp->macbgem_ops.mog_init_rings = gem_init_rings; - bp->macbgem_ops.mog_rx = gem_rx; - } else { - bp->macbgem_ops.mog_alloc_rx_buffers = macb_alloc_rx_buffers; - bp->macbgem_ops.mog_free_rx_buffers = macb_free_rx_buffers; - bp->macbgem_ops.mog_init_rings = macb_init_rings; - bp->macbgem_ops.mog_rx = macb_rx; - } + bp->macbgem_ops.mog_alloc_rx_buffers = macb_alloc_rx_buffers; + bp->macbgem_ops.mog_free_rx_buffers = macb_free_rx_buffers; + bp->macbgem_ops.mog_init_rings = macb_init_rings; + bp->macbgem_ops.mog_rx = macb_rx; /* Set MII management clock divider */ config = macb_mdc_clk_div(bp); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
