[PATCH v4 00/14] Fixes for DP8393X SONIC device emulation
Posted by Finn Thain 4 years, 3 months ago
Hi All,

There are bugs in the emulated dp8393x device that can stop packet
reception in a Linux/m68k guest (q800 machine).

With a Linux/m68k v5.5 guest (q800), it's possible to remotely trigger
an Oops by sending ping floods.

With a Linux/mips guest (magnum machine), the driver fails to probe
the dp8393x device.

With a NetBSD/arc 5.1 guest (magnum), the bugs in the device can be
fatal to the guest kernel.

Whilst debugging the device, I found that the receiver algorithm
differs from the one described in the National Semiconductor
datasheet.

This patch series resolves these bugs.

AFAIK, all bugs in the Linux sonic driver were fixed in Linux v5.5.

 - Dropped patch 13/13.
 - Added 2 new patches.

Changed since v3:
 - Replaced patch 13/14 with patch suggested by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé.


Finn Thain (14):
  dp8393x: Mask EOL bit from descriptor addresses
  dp8393x: Always use 32-bit accesses
  dp8393x: Clean up endianness hacks
  dp8393x: Have dp8393x_receive() return the packet size
  dp8393x: Update LLFA and CRDA registers from rx descriptor
  dp8393x: Clear RRRA command register bit only when appropriate
  dp8393x: Implement packet size limit and RBAE interrupt
  dp8393x: Don't clobber packet checksum
  dp8393x: Use long-word-aligned RRA pointers in 32-bit mode
  dp8393x: Pad frames to word or long word boundary
  dp8393x: Clear descriptor in_use field to release packet
  dp8393x: Always update RRA pointers and sequence numbers
  dp8393x: Don't reset Silicon Revision register
  dp8393x: Don't stop reception upon RBE interrupt assertion

Herve,

Do your Jazz tests pass with these changes?

AFAIK those tests did not expose the NetBSD panic that is caused by 
mainline QEMU (mentioned above).

I have actually run the tests you requested (Hervé described them in an 
earlier thread). There was no regression. Quite the reverse -- it's no 
longer possible to remotely crash the NetBSD kernel.

Apparently my testing was also the first time that the jazzsonic driver 
(from the Linux/mips Magnum port) was tested successfully with QEMU. It 
doesn't work in mainline QEMU.

Anyway, more testing is always nice, and I'd certainly welcome an 
'acked-by' or 'tested-by' if Hervé would like to send one.

Please consider backporting this series of bug fixes to QEMU stable 
branch(es).

Finn

Well, I appologize if I missed all these facts. I just did not notice them,
at least not in this form. And, yes, some "Tested-by:" by Herve would be
desirable and nice.

It would be nice to have this merged before next release because q800
machine networking is not reliable without them.

And thank you to Finn for all his hard work on this device emulation.

I will send the pull request that contains this series before the end of 
this week.

FWIW I tested Finn kernel and QEMU part following:
https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg667432.html
to check than its series doesn't introduce regressions, booting Linux 
and NetBSD.
I haven't run the thorough networking tests Laurent do with the q800 
(scp of big files, fetch over http in loop).

Hervé testing is welcomed, but as a hobbyist he doesn't spend more than 
1h every 2 months on this, so I don't think his approval is a blocker.
We are not talking about business critical emulation, so we can fix 
regressions on top.

--

That said, I'm spending some hobby time on a Magnum boot code to be able 
to test the board upstream (without depending on proprietary BIOS and 
painful graphical setup).

Currently I get NetBSD to kdb and Linux get stuck there:

Applied.

Hi, Jason,

I generally have some reservations towards patches that did not receive any
R-bs. I think we should hear from Herve in this case, to confirm that this
change doesn't cause other problems while solving the original ones.

I hope this is not the case.

Regards,
Aleksandar

That's fine but if it's agreed that we should hear from somebody for a 
specific part of the code, it's better to have the one as 
maintainer/reviewer in MAINTAINERS.
