Dmesg output 2.6.37

Hello, I have a Intel Classmate PC netbook with MeeGo installed on it and i've notice a problem with the jme driver.

The network car is a JMicron JMC260.

Once connect on wired network, i call the suspend with:
echo "mem" >/sys/power/state

The system goes on suspend. After resuming from suspend, the network card cannot be used anymore.

The kernel keeps track of the link, showing when the cabble is connect or not, but it don't stabilish the connection. I've also tried to reconfigure the network with ifconfig and reload the driver with no success on connecting.

I've attached the dmesg output right before the suspend until the resume.

Please, let me know if i can provide more information on that.

Comment 2 Leonardo barroca 2011-01-31 16:43:55 UTC
I can't compile the kernel with this patch applied, this is the error:
  CC [M]  drivers/net/jme.o
drivers/net/jme.c:3083:8: error: 'nv_suspend' undeclared here (not in a function)
drivers/net/jme.c:3083:8: error: 'nv_resume' undeclared here (not in a function)

I will try to fix this issue, please, let me know if you solve the problem.
Comment 3 Rafael J. Wysocki 2011-01-31 18:02:26 UTC

Please try this one instead.
Comment 5 Leonardo barroca 2011-01-31 19:22:51 UTC
Hello Rafael, thanks for the update. 

The patch can now be correctly applied to the kernel, but it's not working.

The behavior is the same, the connection is lost and don't come up again after resuming from suspend.

I've also tried removing the driver by hand and adding it again on resume but with no success. The behavior is the same, the kernel still prints messages when i connect and disconnect the cable saying "Link up" and "Link down"

Sometimes the dhclient print this message:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address 

Please, let me know if i can contribute with more information.
Comment 6 Leonardo barroca 2011-02-07 16:02:42 UTC
Hello, can i help with any other debug? Do you think this is an device issue or drivers issue?

Thanks
Comment 7 Leonardo barroca 2011-02-07 19:24:09 UTC
Tested the behavior of the latest driver located in:
http://bbs.cooldavid.org/git/?p=jme.git;a=summary

and also the behavior of this driver with the suggested patch, but the jme card still lose the connection after resuming from suspend.
Comment 8 Leonardo barroca 2011-02-08 20:44:45 UTC
Some information that Guo-Fu Tseng asked me to provide.

> 1. Does it make any difference if you ifconfig down/up the device again?


No difference.

> 2. What's the link status reported by ethtool?

No different messages, only link down and link up.

My hardware is a Intel Classmate netbook and there is no led indicator for the network card.

route with no information and  ping to router with no answer.

One interesting thing, once i call tcpdump, the network card starts to receive the packages!!!!
i think this will solve our mistery.

> Dose ifconfig show any error count?
no error count

> Dose the peer receive any packet from your device?

yes

Comment 10 Paul 2011-04-16 17:22:19 UTC
Hello,

I had a slightly different problem with my JMC250 ethernet.
I am commenting here because one of the code differences (discussed at the end) involves the suspend function.

Background:

I tried both the 2.6.38 an 2.6.38.3 vanilla kernels (unpatched, starting from the same configuration used by debian squeeze 2.6.32), loaded the jme module and brought up eth0.

I was not able to get any sort of traffic to go over the ethernet wire.
I am able to look at the router from where I'm sitting, and the light for the port didn't light up at all.
Reboot to windows, and the light lit up and the network worked just fine.
Reboot to linux, and total failure.

I downloaded jme-1.0.7.1.tbz2 from here:
ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/Ethernet/Linux/

compiled and installed the module, and performed the same test - the network connection worked!

I diff'd the two jme.c files, and there are differences.
Most of the difference involve #if (kernel version),
but there are some where the code looks like it was incorrectly copied into the kernel trunk.

I'll give one example, from the function jme_suspend()
Note that the name of the function and the potential error leads me to suspect that this inconsistencies may be the source of the suspend/resume bug discussed in this bug report.

this is from JMicron's jme.c,

	pci_save_state(pdev);
	jme_powersave_phy(jme);
	
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE <= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,27)
	pci_enable_wake(pdev, PCI_D3hot, true);
#else
	pci_pme_active(pdev, true);  ***
#endif	

	pci_set_power_state(pdev, PCI_D3hot);



and this is from the 2.6.38.3 kernel


	pci_save_state(pdev);
	jme_powersave_phy(jme);
	pci_enable_wake(jme->pdev, PCI_D3hot, true);  ***
	pci_set_power_state(pdev, PCI_D3hot);


Note the *** lines,
to the untrained eye, it looks like the wrong bit of code was deleted...
Assuming JMicron's original code is correct, the *** line in the kernel should read
pci_pme_active(pdef, true);


There are a couple of other differences along the same lines.

Kind regards,
Paul

Correction:
* It failed with the 2.6.38 kernel vanilla,
* I substituted in the JMicron's driver, which worked,
* I compiled 3.6.38.3 vanilla, rebooted and it works.

I am not sure if 38.3 is correct, or if something in the hardware just 'clicked' and if it will start failing again tomorrow.

cheers

Comment 12 Paul 2011-04-17 07:07:29 UTC
Additional tests:
Vanilla 2.6.38.3 DOES have a problem.

It is able to create an eth0 connection via the jme module,
however, when I attempt to download something like the 2.6.38.3.tar.bz2 from kernel.org, it manages to get 1.2mb and then stalls to a halt.

I then:
rmmod jme
untarred JMicro's code;
make
make install
modprobe jme

let network-manager reconnect my eth0 (dhcp), and I was able to download the kernel tarball quickly and without fault.

So I think there is definitely a bug in the jme.c code that is used in the baseline kernel.

cheers
Paul
Comment 13 Alan 2013-12-11 12:07:46 UTC

Closing as obsolete, if this is still seen on modern kernels please update
Comment 14 Diego Viola 2016-02-15 17:08:53 UTC
I have a similar problem here: #Bug 112351

Can someone please help?
