Subject: sky2 and skge issue
Hello,
Recently we've been trying to set up 2 bonding interfaces with Intel
E1000/pro and 2 other ethernet cards for which we've been using skge and
sky2 drivers. During configuration with ifenslave we've noticed some
calltrace in system logs:

----calltrace end-----
I think the most important line is: "proc_dir_entry '16/eth4' already
registered".
As we can see in that dump log above - sky2 driver registered new
network device as "eth4" while loading with insmod:
sky2 eth4: addr 00:1d:60:0e:a2:9e
Then this name has been changed to "eth0":
sky2 eth0: enabling interface
I assume that it is because udev changes network device names basing on
MAC address. Then we get:
proc_dir_entry '16/eth4' already registered
so it's look like sky2 didn't release interrupt 16 meanwhile udev
changed name from eth4 to eth0.
I investigated this problem a little. I did some tests on another system
- and I noticed identical problem with skge driver.
Here there is scenario of reproduction of the problem:
Let's assume that we have device 0x11ab:0x4320 and proper entry in udev
for it:
# PCI device 0x11ab:0x4320 (skge)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:1d:60:0e:a0:a4",
NAME="eth1"
after:
# insmod skge.ko
we have following logs:
skge 0000:01:05.0: found PCI INT A -> IRQ 10
skge 1.13 addr 0xfe8ec000 irq 10 chip Yukon-Lite rev 9
skge eth0: addr 00:1d:60:0e:a0:a4
so the driver registered "eth0" but later udev changed it to eth1:
# cat /proc/interrupts |grep eth
10: 0 0 XT-PIC-XT uhci_hcd:usb3, eth1
# ifconfig -a
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1D:60:0E:A0:A4
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:10
So we have "eth1" on interrupt 10, but if we do:
# find /proc/irq/ -name 'eth*'
/proc/irq/10/eth0
we still have "eth0" (should be "eth1") connected to interrupt 10.
The same effect we can achieve with manual changing name of interface
(instead of using udev):
# ifconfig eth1 down
# ip link set eth1 name eth111
# ifconfig eth1 up
For *testing only purposes* I've made some patch which enables
interrupts not just after "insmod" but after "ifconfig ethX up" and
disables interrupts after "ifconfig ethX down". It is attached to this
email.
With this patch - when we do
# ifconfig eth1 down
# ip link set eth1 name eth111
# ifconfig eth1 up
it doesn't keep old name of ethX in /proc/irq/*.
I compared this driver with e1000e-0.5.8.2 for intel e1000e, and
there after "ifconfig ethX down" they free interrupt handler, and
"ifconfig ethX up" register it again.
What do you think about this - is it possible to change behaviour of
sky2 and skge to the same as in e1000e?
regards,
sdrb
