Unfortunately I found this issue when I was checking logs where I am getting this.
ethernet@e000b000 Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete......... TIMEOUT ! BOOTP broadcast 1 BOOTP broadcast 2 BOOTP broadcast 3 DHCP client bound to address 192.168.0.107 (882 ms) Zynq> .Zynq> setenv serverip 192.168.0.105
I haven't looked at the exact reason why it is failing but IMHO it is worth to check.
Oh, in that case I think I should withdraw my ack; in the log above, the operation completed successfully, so I'm not convinced the test should be marked a failure. I thought this change simply provided more detail re: the cause of a test failure.
Is there any other way how to run just phy negotiation and mark this test as fail?
I don't see anything obvious that will do that; I think that only happens when net_loop starts. It might be possible to add some new command to test just PHY startup, or a new mode for net_loop() that just waited for link up and did no protocol work.
ok. It means you are saying that this is bug and we are not able to test it by single test. That's why I think this should be report as a bug when this is happening just to hands up there is a problem.
Not sure if there is any way to report is as a warning instead of bug that test case will pass with warning.
At least my only-marginally-old version of pytest (2.5.1) doesn't appear to have any concept of warnings. Some quite new versions of pytest do, although I'm not sure how they're reported. Integrating some form of warning system into the tests could be useful though.
ok.
I wonder if the correct fix for this issue isn't to make the PHY code actively return an error whenever there is a TIMEOUT raised, rather than presumably ignoring it as it does now (since the network code goes on to actually work correctly)?
I will send some patches to fix this problem that transfers not start when TIMEOUT happens.
All these boards should be fixed to return error codes properly. drivers/net/cpsw.c:612: phy_startup(phy); drivers/net/keystone_net.c:581: phy_startup(phy_dev); drivers/net/keystone_net.c:768: phy_startup(priv->phydev); drivers/net/lpc32xx_eth.c:605: phy_startup(phydev); drivers/net/mvgbe.c:697: phy_startup(phydev); drivers/net/mvneta.c:1478: phy_startup(phydev); drivers/net/mvpp2.c:3384: phy_startup(phy_dev); drivers/net/pic32_eth.c:343: phy_startup(priv->phydev);
But again if we have visible errors and code is not handling it properly I do agree that code should be fixed first but still testing should be able to capture this problem for others to avoid that this problem happens again.
Thanks, Michal
