In ME systems, the ME handles this on exit from\n+ Sx(Sticky mode) state. In non-ME, the driver handles it. Add a check\n+ for non-ME system to the driver code that handles that.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Increase timeout of reset check.**\n+\n+ Previously, in check_reset_block RSPCIPHY was polled for 100 ms before\n+ determining that the ME veto is set. It's not enough. It need to be increased\n+ to 300 ms.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Disable IPv6 extension header parsing on 82575.**\n+\n+ Disable IPv6 options as per hardware limitation.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Prevent ULP flow if cable connected.**\n+\n+ Enabling ulp on link down when cable is connect caused an infinite\n+ loop of linkup/down indications in the NDIS driver.\n+ After discussed, correct flow is to enable ULP only when cable is\n+ disconnected.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Support different EEARBC for i210.**\n+\n+ EEARBC has changed on i210. It means EEARBC has a different address on\n+ i210 than on other NICs. So, add a new entity named EEARBC_I210 to the\n+ register list and make sure the right one is being used on i210.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Fix K1 configuration**\n+\n+ This patch is for the following updates to the K1 configurations:\n+ Tx idle period for entering K1 should be 128 ns.\n+ Minimum Tx idle period in K1 should be 256 ns.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Fix link detect flow**\n+\n+ In case that auto-negotiate is not enabled, call\n+ e1000_setup_copper_link_generic instead of e1000_phy_setup_autoneg.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Fix link check for i354 M88E1112 PHY**\n+\n+ e1000_check_for_link_media_swap() is supposed to check PHY page 0 for\n+ copper and PHY page 1 for \"other\" (fiber) link. We switched back from\n+ page 1 to page 0 too soon, before e1000_check_for_link_82575() is\n+ executed and we were never finding link on fiber (other).\n+\n+ If the link is copper, as the M88E1112 page address is set to 1, it should be\n+ set back to 0 before checking this link.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Fix beacon duration for i217**\n+\n+ Fix for I217 Packet Loss issue - The Management Engine sets the FEXTNVM4\n+ Beacon Duration incorrectly. This fix ensures that the correct value will\n+ always be set. Correct value for this field is 8 usec.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Fix TIPG for non 10 half duplex mode**\n+\n+ TIPG value is increased when setting speed to 10 half to prevent\n+ packet loss. However, it was never decreased again when speed\n+ changes. This caused performance issues in the NDIS driver.\n+ Fix this to restore TIPG to default value on non 10 half.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Fix reset of DH89XXCC SGMII**\n+\n+ For DH89XXCC_SGMII, write flush leaves registers of this device trashed\n+ (0xFFFFFFFF). Add check for this device.\n+ Also, after both for Port SW Reset and Device Reset case, platform should\n+ wait at least 3ms before reading any registers. Since waiting is\n+ conditionally executed only for Device Reset - remove the condition.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Fix redundant PHY power down for i210**\n+\n+ Bit 11 of PHYREG 0 is used to power down PHY. The use of PHYREG 16 is\n+ unnecessary any more.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: fix jumbo frame CRC failures**\n+\n+ change the value of register 776.20[11:2] for jumbo mode from 0x1A to 0x1F.\n+ This is to enlarge the gap between read and write pointers in the TX Fifo.\n+ And replace the magic number with a macro by the way.\n+\n+* **e1000/base: Fix link flap on 82579**\n+\n+ Several customers have reported a link flap issue on 82579. The symptoms\n+ are random and intermittent link losses when 82579 is connected to specific\n+ switches. Issue has been root caused as interoperability problem between\n+ the NIC and at least some Broadcom PHYs in the Energy Efficient Ethernet\n+ wake mechanism.\n+ To fix the issue, we are disabling the Phase Locked Loop shutdown in 100M\n+ Low Power Idle. This solution will cause an increase of power in 100M EEE\n+ link. It may cost additional 28mW in this specific mode.\n+\n \n Libraries\n ~~~~~~~~~\n", "prefixes": [ "dpdk-dev" ] }
