#1364855 — [PATCH-RFC] drivers: net: ethernet: intel: e1000e: fix ethtool autoneg off for fiber

Subject[PATCH-RFC] drivers: net: ethernet: intel: e1000e: fix ethtool autoneg off for fiber
Message-ID<rgI5A-8hV-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Steve Shih <sshih@cisco.com>

This patch fixes the issues for disabling auto-negotiation and forcing
speed and duplex settings for the fiber media.

For fiber media, e1000_get_settings should return ETH_TP_MDI_INVALID for
eth_tp_mdix_ctrl instead of ETH_TP_MDI_AUTO so subsequent e1000_set_settings
call would not fail with -EOPNOTSUPP.

e1000_set_spd_dplx should not automatically turn autoneg back on for forced
1000 Mbps full duplex settings.

I'm assuming no comments means this patch is acceptable , and I will 
resubmit it without the RFC. Is that acceptable ?

I have a couple of comments (sorry for not getting to it a bit sooner).

Should this be specific to fiber? Because the code just checks media != copper. There is at least other media type (e1000_media_type_internal_serdes), which will be affected by this change as well. What is the proper behavior in this case?

I seem to remember that this code is there because the copper-based NICs only support 1000Mbps in auto-negotiation mode, not forced (this is according to the IEEE spec, as far as I know). I believe this code is there to ensure that a user can force the speed to 1000 via the API, and still have the link resolve correctly via auto-negotiation. I am concerned that changing this code will break clients that rely on it. Maybe it is best to also limit it to fiber devices only?

Thanks,
Dima (Intel e1000e maintainer).

Steve is shy, so here are his comments,

<Steve>
Regarding the 1st comment. The issue affects all non-copper media. In 
fact, we are using e1000_media_type_internal_serdes and are affected due 
to the following check in e1000_set_settings:

/* MDI setting is only allowed when autoneg enabled because
* some hardware doesn't allow MDI setting when speed or
* duplex is forced.
*/
if (ecmd->eth_tp_mdix_ctrl) {
if (hw->phy.media_type != e1000_media_type_copper)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;

if ((ecmd->eth_tp_mdix_ctrl != ETH_TP_MDI_AUTO) &&
(ecmd->autoneg != AUTONEG_ENABLE)) {
e_err("forcing MDI/MDI-X state is not supported when link speed and/or 
duplex are forced\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
}

Regarding the 2nd comment. Yes, will limit to non-copper media.

He supplied me with a second patch which I can send.. Can we remove the 
RFC this time ?
