2016-05-13e1000e: use BIT() macro for bit definesJacob Keller
This prevents signed bitshift issues when the shift would overwrite the signed bit, and prevents making this mistake in the future when copying and modifying code. Use GENMASK or the unsigned postfix for cases which aren't suitable for BIT() macro. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>
2016-05-13e1000e: fix ethtool autoneg off for non-copperSteve Shih
This patch fixes the issues for disabling auto-negotiation and forcing speed and duplex settings for the non-copper media. For non-copper media, e1000_get_settings should return ETH_TP_MDI_INVALID for eth_tp_mdix_ctrl instead of ETH_TP_MDI_AUTO so subsequent e1000_set_settings call would not fail with -EOPNOTSUPP. e1000_set_spd_dplx should not automatically turn autoneg back on for forced 1000 Mbps full duplex settings for non-copper media.

2016-04-06e1000e: call ndo_stop() instead of dev_close() when running offline selftestStefan Assmann
Calling dev_close() causes IFF_UP to be cleared which will remove the interfaces routes and some addresses. That's probably not what the user intended when running the offline selftest. Besides this does not happen if the interface is brought down before the test, so the current behaviour is inconsistent. Instead call the net_device_ops ndo_stop function directly and avoid touching IFF_UP at all.

2014-03-07e1000e: Refactor PM flowsDavid Ertman
Refactor the system power management flows to prevent the suspend path from being executed twice when hibernating since both the freeze and poweroff callbacks were set to e1000_suspend() via SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS. There are HW workarounds that are performed during this flow and calling them twice was causing erroneous behavior. Re-arrange the code to take advantage of common code paths and explicitly set the individual dev_pm_ops callbacks for suspend, resume, freeze, thaw, poweroff and restore. Add a boolean parameter (reset) to the e1000e_down function to allow for cases when the HW should not be reset when downed during a PM event. Now that all suspend/shutdown paths result in a call to __e1000_shutdown() that checks Wake on Lan status, removing redundant check for WoL in e1000_power_down_phy().

2013-09-13e1000e: fix overrun of PHY RAR arrayDavid Ertman
When copying the MAC RAR registers to PHY there is an error in the calculation of the rar_entry_count, which causes a write of unknown/ undefined register space in the MAC to unknown/undefined register space in the PHY.

2013-07-28e1000e: ethtool unnecessarily takes device out of RPM suspendBruce Allan
A previous patch (commit e60b22c5b7 e1000e: fix accessing to suspended device) added .begin and .complete ethtool driver callbacks so that the device was resumed from Runtime Power Management (RPM) suspend state for all ethtool operations. This is overkill for operations which do not need to access any registers in the device.

2013-03-28e1000e: EEE capability advertisement not set/disabled as requiredBruce Allan
Devices supported by the driver which support EEE (currently 82579, I217 and I218) are advertising EEE capabilities during auto-negotiation even when EEE has been disabled. In addition to not acting as expected, this also caused the EEE status reported by 'ethtool --show-eee' to be wrong when two of these devices are connected back-to-back and EEE is disabled on one. In addition to fixing this issue, the ability for the user to specify which speeds (100 or 1000 full-duplex) to advertise EEE support has been added.

2013-01-27e1000e: enable ECC on I217/I218 to catch packet buffer memory errorsBruce Allan
In rare instances, memory errors have been detected in the internal packet buffer memory on I217/I218 when stressed under certain environmental conditions. Enable Error Correcting Code (ECC) in hardware to catch both correctable and uncorrectable errors. Correctable errors will be handled by the hardware. Uncorrectable errors in the packet buffer will cause the packet to be received with an error indication in the buffer descriptor causing the packet to be discarded. If the uncorrectable error is in the descriptor itself, the hardware will stop and interrupt the driver indicating the error. The driver will then reset the hardware in order to clear the error and restart. Both types of errors will be accounted for in statistics counters.
