Pause settings
- 1G pause was not working due to missing write to the emac block
(TX_MODE_FLOW_EN)
- The flow control should use the negotiated result (after autoneg) so
we should save both the requested autoneg and the result
- The HW credits with flow control at 1G speed were not optimized and
caused low throughput
- It is recommended to turn off flow control if the MTU is bigger than
5000B due to internal buffers sizeSigned-off-by: Yaniv Rosner

Link order with external PHY
When external PHY exists (second chip with the PHY to translate to
another physical medium) the link with the eternal PHY and the network
should be established before setting the link between the 5771x and the
PHY. This is the right order and it is important when using autoneg -
the link to the network should use the autoneg and the link between the
two chips should be forced to the network result.Signed-off-by: Yaniv Rosner

PBA Table Page Alignment Workaround
The PBA table starts on the middle of the page and that's causing very
low performance with virtualization. The solution is not to update via
the BAR directly but via chip access to the same memorySigned-off-by: Eilon Greenstein

HW attention lock
Making sure that only one function will handle the HW attention. This
makes the device parameter aeu_mask redundant so it is removedSigned-off-by: Eilon Greenstein

HW lock mechanism
Enhancing the HW lock to work per function and not only per port - this
is needed for the next patch that protects races over HW attention
detection between the different functions. At this chance, changing the
functions names to be more inline with the current naming conventionSigned-off-by: Yitchak Gertner

Load/Unload under traffic
Few issues were found when loading and unloading under traffic:
- When receiving Tx interrupt call netif_wake_queue if the queue is
stopped but the state is open
- Check that interrupts are enabled before doing anything else on the
msix_fp_int function
- In nic_load, enable the interrupts only when needed and ready for it
- Function stop_leading returns status since it can fail
- Add 1ms delay when unloading the driver to validate that there are no
open transactions that already started by the FW
- Splitting the "has work" function into Tx and Rx so the same function
will be used on unload and interrupts
- Do not request for WoL if only resetting the device (save the time
that it takes the FW to set the link after reset)
- Fixing the device reset after iSCSI boot and before driver load - all
internal buffers must be cleared before the driver is loadedSigned-off-by: Vladislav Zolotarov

Statistics
- Making sure that each drop is accounted for in the driver statistics
- Clearing the FW statistics when driver is loaded to prevent
inconsistency with HW statistics
- Once error is detected (bnx2x_panic_dump), stop the statistics
before other actions (currently it is stopped last and can corrupt
the data) - Adding HW checksum error counter to the statistics
- Removing unused variable stats_ticks
- Using macros instead of magic numbers to indicate which statistics are
shared per port and which are per functionSigned-off-by: Yitchak Gertner

Supporting the 57711 and 57711E - refers to in the code as E1H. The
57710 is referred to as E1.To support the new members in the family, the bnx2x structure was
divided to 3 parts: common, port and function. These changes caused some
rearrangement in the bnx2x.h file.A set of accessories macros were added to make access to the bnx2x
structure more readableSigned-off-by: Eilon Greenstein

New Link code:
Moving all the link related code (including the calculations, the
initialization of the MAC and PHY and the external PHY's code) into
a separated file. The changes from the code that used to be part of
bnx2x.c (now called bnx2x_main.c) are:
- Using separate structures for link inputs and link outputs to clearly
identify what was configured and what is the outcome
- Adding code to read external PHY FW version and print it as part of
ethtool -i
- Adding code to upgrade external PHY FW from ethtool -E with special
magic number - Changing the link down indication to ERR level
- Adding a lock on all PHY access to prevent an interrupt and
setting changes to overlap
- Adding support for emulation and FPGA (small chunk of code that really
helps in the lab) - Adding support for 1G on BCM8706 PHY
- Adding clear debug print incase of fan failure (the PHY type is now
"failure")Signed-off-by: Yaniv Rosner

Properly protect PHY access between two devices on the same board with
a HW lock.Use GPIO to clear all previous configurations before changing link
parameters.Shut down the external PHY in case of fan failure.
Reducing the MDC/MDIO clock to 2.5MHz due to problems with some
devices.Resolve the flow control response according to autoneg with external
PHY.Unmasking all PHY interrupts in single write to prevent a race in the
interrupts order.LASI indication fixes to work with peculiarities of PHYs.
Disable MAC RX to avoid a HW bug when closing the MAC under traffic.
Disable parallel detection on HiGig due to HW limitation.
Updating the shared memory structure to work with the current
bootcode.Signed-off-by: Eliezer Tamir
