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.
