net: sparx5/lan969x: fix PTP clock max_adj value

2026-02-26T22:59:38Z

[ Upstream commit a49d2a2c37a6252c41cbdd505f9d1c58d5a3817a ] The max_adj field in ptp_clock_info tells userspace how much the PHC clock frequency can be adjusted. ptp4l reads this and will never request a correction larger than max_adj. On both sparx5 and lan969x the clock offset may never converge because the servo needs a frequency correction larger than the current max_adj of 200000 (200 ppm) allows. The servo rails at the max and the offset stays in the tens of microseconds. The hardware has no inherent max adjustment limit; frequency correction is done by writing a 64-bit clock period increment to CLK_PER_CFG, and the register has plenty of range. The 200000 value was just an overly conservative software limit. The max_adj is shared between sparx5 and lan969x, and the increased value is safe for both. Fix this by increasing max_adj to 10000000 (10000 ppm), giving the servo sufficient headroom.

net: sparx5/lan969x: fix DWRR cost max to match hardware register width

2026-02-26T22:59:37Z

[ Upstream commit 6c28aa8dfdf24f554d4c5d4ff7d723a95360d94a ] DWRR (Deficit Weighted Round Robin) scheduling distributes bandwidth across traffic classes based on per-queue cost values, where lower cost means higher bandwidth share. The SPX5_DWRR_COST_MAX constant is 63 (6 bits) but the hardware register field HSCH_DWRR_ENTRY_DWRR_COST is GENMASK(24, 20), only 5 bits wide (max 31). This causes sparx5_weight_to_hw_cost() to compute cost values that silently overflow via FIELD_PREP, resulting in incorrect scheduling weights. Set SPX5_DWRR_COST_MAX to 31 to match the hardware register width.

net: sparx5/lan969x: fix flooding configuration on bridge join/leave

2025-10-07T09:53:45Z

The sparx5 driver programs UC/MC/BC flooding in sparx5_update_fwd() by unconditionally applying bridge_fwd_mask to all flood PGIDs. Any bridge topology change that triggers sparx5_update_fwd() (for example enslaving another port) therefore reinstalls flooding in hardware for already bridged ports, regardless of their per-port flood flags. This results in clobbering of the flood masks, and desynchronization between software and hardware: the bridge still reports “flood off” for the port, but hardware has flooding enabled due to unconditional PGID reprogramming. Steps to reproduce: $ ip link add br0 type bridge $ ip link set br0 up $ ip link set eth0 master br0 $ ip link set eth0 up $ bridge link set dev eth0 flood off $ ip link set eth1 master br0 $ ip link set eth1 up At this point, flooding is silently re-enabled for eth0. Software still shows “flood off” for eth0, but hardware has flooding enabled. To fix this, flooding is now set explicitly during bridge join/leave, through sparx5_port_attr_bridge_flags(): On bridge join, UC/MC/BC flooding is enabled by default. On bridge leave, UC/MC/BC flooding is disabled. sparx5_update_fwd() no longer touches the flood PGIDs, clobbering the flood masks, and desynchronizing software and hardware. Initialization of the flooding PGIDs have been moved to sparx5_start(). This is required as flooding PGIDs defaults to 0x3fffffff in hardware and the initialization was previously handled in sparx5_update_fwd(), which was removed. With this change, user-configured flooding flags persist across bridge updates and are no longer overridden by sparx5_update_fwd().

net: sparx5/lan969x: Add support for ethtool pause parameters

2025-09-18T22:55:54Z

Implement get_pauseparam() and set_pauseparam() ethtool operations for Sparx5 ports. This allows users to query and configure IEEE 802.3x pause frame settings via: ethtool -a ethX ethtool -A ethX rx on|off tx on|off autoneg on|off The driver delegates pause parameter handling to phylink through phylink_ethtool_get_pauseparam() and phylink_ethtool_set_pauseparam(). The underlying configuration of pause frame generation and reception is already implemented in the driver; this patch only wires it up to the standard ethtool interface, making the feature accessible to userspace.

net: lan969x: add FDMA implementation

2025-01-15T22:13:33Z

The lan969x switch device supports manual frame injection and extraction to and from the switch core, using a number of injection and extraction queues. This technique is currently supported, but delivers poor performance compared to Frame DMA (FDMA). This lan969x implementation of FDMA, hooks into the existing FDMA for Sparx5, but requires its own RX and TX handling, as lan969x does not support the same native cache coherency that Sparx5 does. Effectively, this means that we are going to use the DMA mapping API for mapping and unmapping TX buffers. The RX loop will utilize the page pool API for efficient RX handling. Other than that, the implementation is largely the same, and utilizes the FDMA library for DCB and DB handling.

We are going to implement the RX and TX paths a bit differently on lan969x and therefore need to introduce new ops for FDMA functions: init, deinit, xmit and poll.
