If a user schedules a Gate Control List (GCL) to close one of the QBV gates while also transmitting a packet to that closed gate, TX Hang will be happen. HW would not drop any packet when the gate is closed and keep queuing up in HW TX FIFO until the gate is re-opened. This patch implements the solution to drop the packet for the closed gate. This patch will also reset the adapter to perform SW initialization for each 1st Gate Control List (GCL) to avoid hang. This is due to the HW design, where changing to TSN transmit mode requires SW initialization. Intel Discrete I225/6 transmit mode cannot be changed when in dynamic mode according to Software User Manual Section 7.5.2.1. Subsequent Gate Control List (GCL) operations will proceed without a reset, as they already are in TSN Mode. Step to reproduce: DUT: 1) Configure GCL List with certain gate close. BASE=$(date +%s%N) tc qdisc replace dev $IFACE parent root handle 100 taprio \ num_tc 4 \ map 0 1 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 \ queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 \ base-time $BASE \ sched-entry S 0x8 500000 \ sched-entry S 0x4 500000 \ flags 0x2 2) Transmit the packet to closed gate. You may use udp_tai application to transmit UDP packet to any of the closed gate. ./udp_tai -i <interface> -P 100000 -p 90 -c 1 -t <0/1> -u 30004 Fixes: ec50a9d437f0 ("igc: Add support for taprio offloading") Co-developed-by: Tan Tee Min <tee.min.tan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tan Tee Min <tee.min.tan@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Chwee Lin Choong <chwee.lin.choong@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Muhammad Husaini Zulkifli <muhammad.husaini.zulkifli@intel.com> Tested-by: Naama Meir <naamax.meir@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
