Hi, i’ve trying to add the second gmac to kernel 4.14 using the patches from lede/4.9, but dsa has changed much…can anybody help me?
my current work is here (hopefully right till that point), currenty stumpling about the master-dev https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/tree/GMAC2
regards Frank
can anybody help me with this…it seems that is needed to get hnat working
edit: because of this, i assume that dual-gmac is needed for hnat:
this thread is for second gmac (eth1) but this seems to be needed for hnat.
I tried the 3 patches from lede for the second gmac (cpu-mt7530) but dsa-driver changed too much
I respond to the wrong thread, but any way, I think the best thing that I can suggest is …wait until the 1st formal version release .
how far is the work for using the 2nd GMAC between CPU and Switch? My Work on HNAT itself was also nearly done…i had only problems with patch in mtk_eth_soc.c (wan does not work), maybe because the second gmac is missing (the upstream-Port selected by the hnat-patch)
Second gmac seems to be workung after applying new patches from lede
currently for testing:
wan seems to work, but lan-ports have no traffic in my tests…
Applied pathes for 2nd gmac (eth1) from here:
To gmac-branch
I have no traffic on lan-ports (eth0, no ping). Wan-port (eth1) works.
Have tried native 4.14.11 kernel only with mmc-patch and swapped mmc to ensure that problems are not based on modifications in my repo. Same result.
Can you confirm that? Is anybody working on it?
maybe here is something missing:
if i understand the comment this comment right: “find out which mac the packet comes from. If the special tag is we can assume that the traffic is coming from the builtin mt7530”
data is checked for new flag RX_DMA_SP_TAG, but i’ve found no location where the flag is set. normaly i assume that there no traffic on booth eth, but wan works so maybe another flag is set including this one, but is not for the “old” eth
btw. this code is removed in lede 4.9 kernel with 0059-eth-fixes.patch and replaced by this:
+ /* find out which mac the packet come from. values start at 1 */
+ mac = (trxd.rxd4 >> 22) & 0x1;
+ mac = (mac + 1) % 2;
netdev = eth->netdev[mac];

now i can ping my router over lan0…So the problem is &cpu_port0 or its mapping in the driver
@moore can you reproduce that? i expect not a fast solution, but the info that you see my problem and working on it
Hi Frank
I’m not sure why the cpu_port0(eth0) doesn’t work, but I think we can check the statisitics of switch port to make sure if traffic isn’t sent out over lan0. If the traffic is not sent out from lan0, that means the problem is caused by mtk eth driver.
And I think we have to ensure the switch tag is enabled on switch side, and each package made by cpu must have the field of switch tag.
Also Ryder said the patch of hardware NAT is ready for reviewing, so can you please wait that version release.
I have currently the gmac-kernel not runnimg because i’m testing some other things in main.
I also assume that the switch-tag is not set for eth0/cpu-port0. How can i see this in code (wgere should it be set)?
for the most people 2nd cpu-port and hdmi is more important than hnat
Ryder said that patches ae for 4.16…i had tried to port wifi-driver to 4.16, but hang at timer-functions where api has changed
Hi Frank
I just guess this problem is related to switch-tag, but we have to check the statistics of all switch ports, and debug the code to see what problem happens.
ok, i try to get the statistics for lan0 on my second R2 with “ethertool -i lan0” while ping my router over it (must revert my routing back to cpu_port0 first)

as you see statistics for eth1 (cpu-port1) is more detailed than eth0 (cpu-port0). in eth0 there are p05-sets (port 5 of mt7530??), these entries are missing on eth0 (maybe port 6)

as i see there are RX and TX bytes…so lan-port itself works, but the internal routing (is assume mt7530 => SOC) does not work
after the pings eth0 has traffic in booth directions but not the same amount

where does ethtool measure that traffic on eth0 (on soc-side or switch-side)?
some thinkings: soc->switch works and the backway not (packets from switch are not accepted by soc)…ok…did some extra-tests

packet goes out, as assumed, and of course will be answered by my (old) router. for same on r2 i need to install tcpdump (have to temporary boot with working kernel, install and again with gmac-kernel, have done this with ethtool before).
strange is the “truncated-ip”-information…
because i cannot use ssh (no connection to lan) i tcpdumped to file

, length 64Hardware NAT should be still working on current DSA configuration with single GMAC.
I think Software HNAT can work. and also Hardware NAT has to work!
You could add HWNAT on the top of current DSA configuration at first if you just want to have a verification for Hardware NAT.
Otherwise, you will meet tons of frustration during you’re integrating second GMAC into existing DSA framework.
This is still hard work for general people in specifically you don’t have deep thoughts on the DSA core.
Please don’t mix hnat and second gmac…this thread is for second gmac. hnat have separate thread where no traffic on wan is reported if using patched mtk_eth_soc.c
Yes, I knew and agreed it’s good to split these topics into two threads. So I just replied my thoughts to above message.
