Hello,

We have fix some problems, but now i get the interface firmware not 
working, are the some tips of tricks for this ? Its for a Blade Servers, 
and this working the best with the kernel 3.2.0 branch. So i hope 
somebody can help me whit this.

[   76.803495] bnx2x: [bnx2x_init_firmware:10573(eth0)]Can't load 
firmware file bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.0.29.0.fw

[   76.803523] bnx2x: [bnx2x_nic_load:1847(eth0)]HW init failed, aborting

You can try netdev again, or you should try with the distro bugzillas
[I'm not sure if request_firmware() is contained entirely in kernel or is dependent on some tools in the filesystem provided by the distro]

Hi,

The change might affect you - you're using a new board.

Cheers,

Hello Yuval,

Whithout code change i see.

bash-4.3# ethtool -i eth0
driver: bnx2x
version: 1.70.30-0
firmware-version: bc 7.10.11
bus-info: 0000:01:00.0
quoted
Btw,

You can supply `ethtool -i' output on one of the interfaces to
see whether the
warning would actually apply.

Well,

There is actually a WARN_ON in line 8886, and that warning was
later removed for newer boards.

Please try removing it and changing to the code in
bnx2x_get_igu_cam_info() from upstream kernel, and see what's
next.

Hello Yuval,

I have change this in the
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_main.c

With new code from the 3.10 kernel

static void bnx2x_set_mac_buf(u8 *mac_buf, u32 mac_lo, u16
mac_hi)
{
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
              __be16 mac_hi_be = cpu_to_be16(mac_hi);
              __be32 mac_lo_be = cpu_to_be32(mac_lo);
              memcpy(mac_buf, &mac_hi_be, sizeof(mac_hi_be));
              memcpy(mac_buf + sizeof(mac_hi_be), &mac_lo_be,
sizeof(mac_lo_be)); }

Now i get the following message back

[    5.748765] WARNING: at
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_main.c:8886

Are this correct my change in this code ?
quoted
Hi Stefan,

Are you using a Big-Endian machine?

Regardless, I don't really have anything 'good' to tell you -
the code you've given me is the same as the one I've looked
at, and line
9410 doesn't
really include anything that should produce a warn [at most, a
NULL pointer dereference].
quoted
Regardless, if you can - you can try to replace the
implementation of
bnx2x_set_mac_buf() in your kernel in bnx2x_main.c with the
one from more
modern kernels; [It doesn't pass address of parameters to the
function] and see if it solves your issue.

Hello Yuval,

Correct i use 32bits machine

3.2.63 #1 SMP Mon Oct 27 11:22:59 CET 2014 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux

I have added new files. objdump i have run this command in
the bnx2x dir from the kernel source, i hope thats is oke ?

Thanks,
Stefan
quoted
Hi Stefan,

2 things:

1. For some reason the source files I'm looking at don't
look the same as
yours.
quoted
If you can, please tarball me the bnx2x directory from the
kernel sources
you've compile and send it to me.
quoted
2. objdump doesn't contain the source code; Are you sure
you've used
`objdump -S' as opposed to simple `objdump' when generating it?
quoted
3. Just to be certain, you're using a 32-bit machine, right?
[Don't know if it's related, but it's rare enough that I
should consider it when I look at the issue]

Thanks,
Yuval

Hello Yuval,

Do you have received my file's good ? I am not sure..

Thanks,
quoted
Hi Stefan,

Just looked into 3.2.63 [Saber-toothed Squirrel] sources,
and
bnx2x_main:9410 doesn't look as if it contains any code
that can throw a
stack trace, Nor is it a [direct] part of bnx2x_init_one.
quoted
quoted
Perhaps you can send the output of `objdump -S bnx2x.ko',
so I could take a
look at the place the stack trace points as the source of the issue?

Hello Yuval,

Thanks for this messages.

We use now the kernel 3.10.57 and then the interface
working, only we must back to the kernel we always use
3.2.63 , its work better with use
systems.

I have compiler the kernel by my self on a Suse system.

I hope we can fix it, that this working with the kernel 3.2.63.

Which distro & linux kernel are you using?
