After upgrading to 2.6.32-r4, my NIC no longer works. When NetworkManager tries to bring the interface up, the messages log shows: kernel: tg3 0000:09:00.0: firmware: using built-in firmware tigon/tg3_tso.bin kernel: tg3 0000:09:00.0: irq 29 for MSI/MSI-X kernel: tg3: tg3_load_firmware_cpu: Trying to load TX cpu firmware on eth0 which is 5705. Where it previously only reported the second line. Downgrading to -r3 fixed the problem for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

This is from upstream broadcom developer. Who has been extremely helpful and responsive on this, btw. "I don't think your patch has anything to do with the above problem. If the device is really a 5705, it should be using tigon/tg3_tso5.bin, not tigon/tg3_tso.bin. The 5705 does not have a TX cpu, so that could explain a lot." So in the code we have this: if (GET_ASIC_REV(tp->pci_chip_rev_id) == ASIC_REV_5705) { cpu_base = RX_CPU_BASE; cpu_scratch_base = NIC_SRAM_MBUF_POOL_BASE5705; } else { cpu_base = TX_CPU_BASE; cpu_scratch_base = TX_CPU_SCRATCH_BASE; cpu_scratch_size = TX_CPU_SCRATCH_SIZE; } Which says if you have a 5705, the cpu_base = RX_CPU_BASE. But, we get here: if (cpu_base == TX_CPU_BASE && (tp->tg3_flags2 & TG3_FLG2_5705_PLUS)) { printk(KERN_ERR PFX "tg3_load_firmware_cpu: Trying to load " "TX cpu firmware on %s which is 5705.\n", tp->dev->name); return -EINVAL; } Which is interesting, since cpu_base should NOT be TX_CPU_BASE. Is the device a 5705 ?
Ok, I see the devices are not 5705, let me look further.
I'm going to pull this out of genpatches and release a new kernel. If I have a new patch to try, I will ask here for testers.
Patch removed in gentoo-sources-2.6.32-r5
Thanks a lot :-D
Same with tuxonice-sources-2.6.32-r4. What patch did you remove & I'll try it for tuxonice. $ dmesg | grep tg3 tg3 0000:09:00.0: firmware: requesting tigon/tg3_tso.bin tg3: tg3_load_firmware_cpu: Trying to load TX cpu firmware on eth0 which is 5705. tg3: tg3_load_firmware_cpu: Trying to load TX cpu firmware on eth0 which is 5705. tg3 0000:09:00.0: restoring config space at offset 0xc (was 0x0, writing 0x20050000) $ lspci 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5756ME Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express $ lspci -n 09:00.0 0200: 14e4:1674 thanks :)

With -r5, my NIC works fine again. Thanks! Btw, I forgot to mention my controller in the bug report: 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) 09:00.0 0200: 14e4:1673 (rev 02)
Created attachment 219537 [details, diff] New patch for 5906 hang Can everyone try this patch, please?
Aleksey, can you please also test this patch and tell me if you still have hangs on the 5906 card.
this patch is OK with my 5754, the loading firmware bug is fixed !
(In reply to comment #12) > this patch is OK with my 5754, the loading firmware bug is fixed ! > Thanks, Guillaume. As soon as I hear from someone with a 5906, I'll send it upstream.
5756 here as well, but tuxonice-sources-2.6.32-r5 with new genpatches now works.
(In reply to comment #14) > 5756 here as well, but tuxonice-sources-2.6.32-r5 with new genpatches now > works. > Thanks for testing this patch. I'm not sure what's in tuxonice-sources-2.6.32-r5. Still looking for someone with a 5906 to test, please.
Patch works for me. gentoo-sources-2.6.32-r5 + patch above 10:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
Created attachment 220069 [details, diff] Final patch with recommendations from upstream developer This is the final (I swear) patch. Aleksey, can you try this one. And someone without the 5906, can you also test. Thanks for your patience. Mike
(In reply to comment #17) > This is the final (I swear) patch. Aleksey, can you try this one. And someone > without the 5906, can you also test. Just posting from a kernel with this new patch version. So it's OK with 5754, no regression.
Works for me
Thanks, everyone
Released in gentoo-sources-2.6.32-r6
