      Grygorii Strashko authored
      Move DT parsing code to probe dp83867_probe() as it's one time operation.

      net: phy: dp83867: enable robust auto-mdix · 5a7f08c2
      Grygorii Strashko authored
      The link detection timeouts can be observed (or link might not be detected
      at all) when dp83867 PHY is configured in manual mode (speed/duplex).
      
      CFG3[9] Robust Auto-MDIX option allows to significantly improve link detection
      in case dp83867 is configured in manual mode and reduce link detection
      time.
      As per DM: "If link partners are configured to operational modes that are
      not supported by normal Auto MDI/MDIX mode (like Auto-Neg versus Force
      100Base-TX or Force 100Base-TX versus Force 100Base-TX), this Robust Auto
      MDI/MDIX mode allows MDI/MDIX resolution and prevents deadlock."
      
      Hence, enable this option by default as there are no known reasons
      not to do so.

      net: sch_generic: Use pfifo_fast as fallback scheduler for CAN hardware · 546b85bb
      Vincent Prince authored
      There is networking hardware that isn't based on Ethernet for layers 1 and 2.
      
      For example CAN.
      
      CAN is a multi-master serial bus standard for connecting Electronic Control
      Units [ECUs] also known as nodes. A frame on the CAN bus carries up to 8 bytes
      of payload. Frame corruption is detected by a CRC. However frame loss due to
      corruption is possible, but a quite unusual phenomenon.
      
      While fq_codel works great for TCP/IP, it doesn't for CAN. There are a lot of
      legacy protocols on top of CAN, which are not build with flow control or high
      CAN frame drop rates in mind.
      
      When using fq_codel, as soon as the queue reaches a certain delay based length,
      skbs from the head of the queue are silently dropped. Silently meaning that the
      user space using a send() or similar syscall doesn't get an error. However
      TCP's flow control algorithm will detect dropped packages and adjust the
      bandwidth accordingly.
      
      When using fq_codel and sending raw frames over CAN, which is the common use
      case, the user space thinks the package has been sent without problems, because
      send() returned without an error. pfifo_fast will drop skbs, if the queue
      length exceeds the maximum. But with this scheduler the skbs at the tail are
      dropped, an error (-ENOBUFS) is propagated to user space. So that the user
      space can slow down the package generation.
      
      On distributions, where fq_codel is made default via CONFIG_DEFAULT_NET_SCH
      during compile time, or set default during runtime with sysctl
      net.core.default_qdisc (see [1]), we get a bad user experience. In my test case
      with pfifo_fast, I can transfer thousands of million CAN frames without a frame
      drop. On the other hand with fq_codel there is more then one lost CAN frame per
      thousand frames.
      
      As pointed out fq_codel is not suited for CAN hardware, so this patch changes
      attach_one_default_qdisc() to use pfifo_fast for "ARPHRD_CAN" network devices.
      
      During transition of a netdev from down to up state the default queuing
      discipline is attached by attach_default_qdiscs() with the help of
      attach_one_default_qdisc(). This patch modifies attach_one_default_qdisc() to
      attach the pfifo_fast (pfifo_fast_ops) if the network device type is
      "ARPHRD_CAN".
