This flag is _on_ in my setup and hencet i40e_force_link_state is
being called with is_up == false in my setup. The problem is that
irrespective of
value of "is_up" flag, i40e_force_link_state invokes
i40e_aq_set_link_restart_an with second argument (enable_link) as
"true". So i40e_aq_set_link_restart_an
is always trying to enable link even if is_up was false. Is that
correct behavior ?
I have pasted code with my annotations below marked with "//XXX".
/**
* i40e_force_link_state - Force the link status
* @pf: board private structure
* @is_up: whether the link state should be forced up or down
**/
static i40e_status i40e_force_link_state(struct i40e_pf *pf, bool
is_up) // XXX is_up was _false_ in my test case because I have
link-down-on-close "on"
{
struct i40e_aq_get_phy_abilities_resp abilities;
struct i40e_aq_set_phy_config config = {0};
struct i40e_hw *hw = &pf->hw;
i40e_status err;
u64 mask;
/* Get the current phy config */
err = i40e_aq_get_phy_capabilities(hw, false, false, &abilities,
NULL);
if (err) {
dev_err(&pf->pdev->dev,
"failed to get phy cap., ret = %s last_status = %s\n",
i40e_stat_str(hw, err),
i40e_aq_str(hw, hw->aq.asq_last_status));
return err;
}
/* If link needs to go up, but was not forced to go down,
* no need for a flap
*/
if (is_up && abilities.phy_type != 0)
return I40E_SUCCESS;
/* To force link we need to set bits for all supported PHY types,
* but there are now more than 32, so we need to split the bitmap
* across two fields.
*/
mask = I40E_PHY_TYPES_BITMASK;
config.phy_type = is_up ? cpu_to_le32((u32)(mask & 0xffffffff)) : 0;
config.phy_type_ext = is_up ? (u8)((mask >> 32) & 0xff) : 0;
/* Copy the old settings, except of phy_type */
config.abilities = abilities.abilities;
config.link_speed = abilities.link_speed;
config.eee_capability = abilities.eee_capability;
config.eeer = abilities.eeer_val;
config.low_power_ctrl = abilities.d3_lpan;
err = i40e_aq_set_phy_config(hw, &config, NULL);
if (err) {
dev_err(&pf->pdev->dev,
"set phy config ret = %s last_status = %s\n",
i40e_stat_str(&pf->hw, err),
i40e_aq_str(&pf->hw, pf->hw.aq.asq_last_status));
return err;
}
/* Update the link info */
err = i40e_update_link_info(hw);
if (err) {
/* Wait a little bit (on 40G cards it sometimes takes a really
* long time for link to come back from the atomic reset)
* and try once more
*/
msleep(1000);
i40e_update_link_info(hw);
}
i40e_aq_set_link_restart_an(hw, true, NULL); // XXX Second argument is
unconditionally true. Should it not be is_up instead of true ?
return I40E_SUCCESS;
}
