e1000e: flow control thresholds not correct when changing mtu

2009-11-20T21:53:27+00:00

When changing MTU, save it off prior to resetting otherwise the flow control
thresholds may be miscalculated.

e1000e: add Tx timeout factor for 100Mbps

2009-11-20T21:53:26+00:00

On some devices (e.g. 82578) not having a Tx timeout factor when linked at
100Mbps can cause false reports of hardware hangs on busy hubs.

e1000e: partial revert of 3ec2a2b8 plus FC workraround for 82577/8

2009-11-20T21:53:20+00:00

Commit 3ec2a2b80f3eb53851fe4cef9e65b5d33376ef89 broke Tx/Rx when using
jumbo frames on certain parts (i.e. only PAUSE frames could be exchanged
once the high water mark was reached preventing normal packet traffic).
This patch reverts the breakage and sets appropriate high and low water
marks of the Rx FIFO for 82577/82578 which require a workaround due to a
flow control issue in hardware.

e1000e/igb/ixgbe: Don't report an error if devices don't support AER

2009-10-02T17:04:12+00:00

The only error returned by pci_{en,dis}able_pcie_error_reporting() is
-EIO which simply means that Advanced Error Reporting is not supported.
There is no need to report that, so remove the error check from e1000e,
igb and ixgbe.

netdev: Remove redundant checks for CAP_NET_ADMIN in MDIO implementations

2009-09-04T03:02:11+00:00

dev_ioctl() already checks capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) before calling the
driver's implementation of MDIO ioctls.

e1000e: fix use of pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting

2009-08-16T01:52:59+00:00

commit 111b9dc5 ("e1000e: add aer support") introduces pcie aer
support for e1000e, but it is not reasonable to disable it in
e1000_remove but enable it in e1000_resume.  This patch enables aer
support in e1000_probe.

e1000e: WoL does not work on 82577/82578 with manageability enabled

2009-08-16T01:52:58+00:00

With manageability (Intel AMT) enabled via BIOS, PHY wakeup does not get
configured on newer parts which use PHY wakeup vs. MAC wakeup which causes
WoL to not work.  The driver should configure PHY wakeup whether or not
manageability is enabled.

e1000e: io_error_detected callback should return PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT

2009-07-01T02:47:02+00:00

on permanent failure

PCI drivers that implement the io_error_detected callback
should return PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT if the state
passed in is pci_channel_io_perm_failure.  This state is not
checked in many of the network drivers.

This patch fixes the omission in the e1000e driver.
