net: ag71xx: add flow control support
Add flow control support. The functionality was tested on AR9331 SoC and confirmed by iperf3 results and HW counters exported over ethtool. Following test configurations was used: iMX6S receiver <--- TL-SG1005D switch <---- AR9331 sender The switch is supporting symmytric flow control: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full --->> Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on Port: MII PHYAD: 4 Transceiver: external Link detected: yes The iMX6S system was configured to 10Mbit, to let the switch use flow control: - ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 With flow control disabled on AR9331: - ethtool -A eth0 rx off tx off - iperf3 -u -c 172.17.0.1 -b100M -l1472 -t10 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Jitter Lost/Total Datagrams [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 66.2 MBytes 55.5 Mbits/sec 0.000 ms 0/47155 (0%) sender [ 5] 0.00-10.04 sec 11.5 MBytes 9.57 Mbits/sec 1.309 ms 38986/47146 (83%) receiver With flow control enabled on AR9331: - ethtool -A eth0 rx on tx on - iperf3 -u -c 172.17.0.1 -b100M -l1472 -t10 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Jitter Lost/Total Datagrams [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 15.1 MBytes 12.6 Mbits/sec 0.000 ms 0/10727 (0%) sender [ 5] 0.00-10.05 sec 11.5 MBytes 9.57 Mbits/sec 1.371 ms 2525/10689 (24%) receiver Similar results are get in opposite direction by introducing extra CPU load on AR9331: - chrt 40 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null & Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: David S.
