net: phy: Introduce PSGMII PHY interface mode

2023-08-14T07:12:53+00:00

The PSGMII interface is similar to QSGMII. The main difference is that the PSGMII interface combines five SGMII lines into a single link while in QSGMII only four lines are combined. Similarly to the QSGMII, this interface mode might also needs special handling within the MAC driver. It is commonly used by Qualcomm with their QCA807x PHY series and modern WiSoC-s. Add definitions for the PHY layer to allow to express this type of connection between the MAC and PHY. Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos Signed-off-by: Robert Marko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net/phy: add the link modes for the 10BASE-T1S Ethernet PHY

2023-01-11T08:35:02+00:00

This patch adds the link modes for the IEEE 802.3cg Clause 147 10BASE-T1S Ethernet PHY. According to the specifications, the 10BASE-T1S supports Point-To-Point Full-Duplex, Point-To-Point Half-Duplex and/or Point-To-Multipoint (AKA Multi-Drop) Half-Duplex operations.

ethtool: Add support for 800Gbps link modes

2022-10-24T09:43:39+00:00

Add support for 800Gbps speed, link modes of 100Gbps per lane. As mentioned in slide 21 in IEEE documentation [1], all adopted 802.3df copper and optical PMDs baselines using 100G/lane will be supported. Add the relevant PMDs which are mentioned in slide 5 in IEEE documentation [1] and were approved on 10-2022 [2]: BP - KR8 Cu Cable - CR8 MMF 50m - VR8 MMF 100m - SR8 SMF 500m - DR8 SMF 2km - DR8-2 [1]: https://www.ieee802.org/3/df/public/22_10/22_1004/shrikhande_3df_01a_221004.pdf [2]: https://ieee802.org/3/df/KeyMotions_3df_221005.pdf Signed-off-by: Amit Cohen Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: Petr Machata Signed-off-by: David S.

net: phy: Add support for rate matching

2022-09-23T10:55:35+00:00

This adds support for rate matching (also known as rate adaptation) to the phy subsystem. The general idea is that the phy interface runs at one speed, and the MAC throttles the rate at which it sends packets to the link speed. There's a good overview of several techniques for achieving this at [1]. This patch adds support for three: pause-frame based (such as in Aquantia phys), CRS-based (such as in 10PASS-TS and 2BASE-TL), and open-loop-based (such as in 10GBASE-W). This patch makes a few assumptions and a few non assumptions about the types of rate matching available. First, it assumes that different phys may use different forms of rate matching. Second, it assumes that phys can use rate matching for any of their supported link speeds (e.g. if a phy supports 10BASE-T and XGMII, then it can adapt XGMII to 10BASE-T). Third, it does not assume that all interface modes will use the same form of rate matching. Fourth, it does not assume that all phy devices will support rate matching (even if some do). Relaxing or strengthening these (non-)assumptions could result in a different API. For example, if all interface modes were assumed to use the same form of rate matching, then a bitmask of interface modes supportting rate matching would suffice. For some better visibility into the process, the current rate matching mode is exposed as part of the ethtool ksettings. For the moment, only read access is supported. I'm not sure what userspace might want to configure yet (disable it altogether, disable just one mode, specify the mode to use, etc.). For the moment, since only pause-based rate adaptation support is added in the next few commits, rate matching can be disabled altogether by adjusting the advertisement. 802.3 calls this feature "rate adaptation" in clause 49 (10GBASE-R) and "rate matching" in clause 61 (10PASS-TL and 2BASE-TS). Aquantia also calls this feature "rate adaptation". I chose "rate matching" because it is shorter, and because Russell doesn't think "adaptation" is correct in this context.

net: phy: Add 1000BASE-KX interface mode

2022-09-05T13:30:42+00:00

Add 1000BASE-KX interface mode. This 1G backplane ethernet as described in clause 70. Clause 73 autonegotiation is mandatory, and only full duplex operation is supported. Although at the PMA level this interface mode is identical to 1000BASE-X, it uses a different form of in-band autonegation. This justifies a separate interface mode, since the interface mode (along with the MLO_AN_* autonegotiation mode) sets the type of autonegotiation which will be used on a link. This results in more than just electrical differences between the link modes. With regard to 1000BASE-X, 1000BASE-KX holds a similar position to SGMII: same signaling, but different autonegotiation. PCS drivers (which typically handle in-band autonegotiation) may only support 1000BASE-X, and not 1000BASE-KX. Similarly, the phy mode is used to configure serdes phys with phy_set_mode_ext. Due to the different electrical standards (SFI or XFI vs Clause 70), they will likely want to use different configuration. Adding a phy interface mode for 1000BASE-KX helps simplify configuration in these areas. Signed-off-by: Sean Anderson Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: phy: Add helper to derive the number of ports from a phy mode

2022-08-22T12:46:26+00:00

Some phy modes such as QSGMII multiplex several MAC<->PHY links on one single physical interface. QSGMII used to be the only one supported, but other modes such as QUSGMII also carry multiple links. This helper allows getting the number of links that are multiplexed on a given interface. Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

After following the call tree of phy_set_max_speed(), it became clear that this function never returns anything but 0, so we can change its result type to *void* and drop the result checks from the three drivers that actually bothered to do it...

net: phy: prefer 1000baseT over 1000baseKX

2021-12-09T19:51:50+00:00

The PHY settings table is supposed to be sorted by descending match priority - in other words, earlier entries are preferred over later entries. The order of 1000baseKX/Full and 1000baseT/Full is such that we prefer 1000baseKX/Full over 1000baseT/Full, but 1000baseKX/Full is a lot rarer than 1000baseT/Full, and thus is much less likely to be preferred. This causes phylink problems - it means a fixed link specifying a speed of 1G and full duplex gets an ethtool linkmode of 1000baseKX/Full rather than 1000baseT/Full as would be expected - and since we offer userspace a software emulation of a conventional copper PHY, we want to offer copper modes in preference to anything else. However, we do still want to allow the rarer modes as well. Hence, let's reorder these two modes to prefer copper.
