Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/6] net: stmmac: selftests: Validate EEE based on the actual LPI timer value
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 17:13:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910151404.976753-3-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910151404.976753-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com>
The EEE selftest is a 2-step test :
- It validates that we enter in LPI mode with the
irq_tx_path_in_lpi_mode_n counter
- It then validates that we exit LPI when sending a frame, with the
irq_tx_path_exit_lpi_mode_n counter.
The current state of the test lacks 2 main things :
- We don't know exactly when was the previous frame sent (it's from the
previous selftest)
- The timeout is hardcoded, while the LPI is entered after a
user-configurable delay. On top of that, the timeout loop uses a
pre-decrement iterator (--retries) that actually only iterate nine
times, so 900ms while the default LPI value is 1 second.
Let's therefore make it more deterministic :
- Send a frame at the beginning of the test
- Wait for more than the lpi timer value, we timeout after about twice
the value,
- Then send another frame, and verify that we do go out of LPI, also
with a timeout.
Note that the test's goal isn't to validate the LPI timer value itself,
only that we enter/leave LPI mode.
