Hi all,
We have got same problem. We use a test automation setup of around 25 Pandaboards. During testing we send/receive huge amount of data over ethernet to PB. But with onboard Ethernet we get really bad network throughput. I tried all steps by Emeric (patching the drivers/usb from Linaro kernel, disabling CPU idle flags) but it dint help.
As mentioned in this thread earlier, moving the mouse etc does improve throughput for that period of time. I also tried by running a script in a loop in background, which does some work after every 100 msec, this also surprisingly improves throughput and we do get data transfer rate of 300-700 Kb/s, (still very less).
Also when we connected external usb to ethernet adapter with ASIX chips the throughput is really good, but we consider this as workaround. I am testing throughput with iperf.
Has there been any investigations or findings on this issue? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi all,
Some follow-up on my long lasting issue... Ming Lei, from Canonical, made me test usb host storage: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+bug/709245. It is broken as well, barely 100KBps (with usbmon...). Then my problem does not come from usbnet or smsc95xx.c driver, but probably something with omap ehci and/or omap PM.
I still cannot believe that I am alone using ethernet and usb host on a pandaboard running google official ICS.

Today, I wanted to check ehci PHY was in a correct state. The register dump of smsc9514 shows that the chip is always in READY state. But I can't state concerning omap ehci PHY: there are a lot of PM_RUNTIME, clk and regulator things I have to decrypt...
omap4_ehci_init() gets auxclk3_ck and sets it to 19.2MHz. Here is what I see:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/clock/virt_38400000_ck/sys_clkin_ck/auxclk3_src_ck # for file in `find . -type f`; do echo "$file `cat $file`"; done ./auxclk3_ck/auxclkreq3_ck/flags 0x30a21c00 ./auxclk3_ck/auxclkreq3_ck/rate 19200000 ./auxclk3_ck/auxclkreq3_ck/usecount 0 ./auxclk3_ck/flags 0x30a31c00 ./auxclk3_ck/rate 19200000 ./auxclk3_ck/usecount 1 ./flags 0x30a31c00 ./rate 38400000 ./usecount 1
"auxclkreq3_ck/usecount" never gets positive, whatever I do (mouse event,RX , TX, ...). Linaro working release shows the same usecount and flags. So that must be fine.

I cannot get this on linaro as prcm-on file does not exist :-(

I checked also pm_debug/time and count on both linaro-12.05 and my faulty build: http://pastebin.com/6AJtEXut http://pastebin.com/L0JzVtJy
Unfortunately, /sys/kernel/debug/pm_debug is not present on linaro-11.09...

With patch reverted, VDD33IO signals look the same as I depicted on Ti forums. I checked VDD33A, and it is 3.3V flat. It never goes low. According to my pandaboard-a-schematic.pdf, both signals should have the same shape as VDD33IO and VDD33A are (supposed to be) connected to VDD_HUB_FLT. But I see different signals, hmmm... I don't know what that means. Any idea?

Hi Michael,
Ok, I will get back to the schematics and try some probing again. 9514.pdf is the datasheet I have on my side as well. But it lacks register descriptions... Steve Glendinning told me the only public register description lies in smsc95xx.h. I suppose I should consider this great enough...
I narrowed down the patches touching drivers/usb/host/ehci-omap.c which are in my (faulty) kernel, but not on the (working) linaro one. I reverted them all one by one with following status:
Revert "mfd: Add omap-usbhs runtime PM support" This reverts commit 1233c937d09450956989953841837445aff09336.=> FAILED

Revert "usb: ehci-omap: control transceiver clock" This reverts commit 43deff8560f2395cb833a21d1e0cf518182f086f.=> FAILED
Previously, with Manuel from Ti, I checked that VDD33IO was fine: http://e2e.ti.com/support/omap/f/849/p/196732/705274.aspx#705274 I pushed a drawing of my scope capture.
I will if my patch revert have changed anything to this power signal.
Thanks, Emeric

it worth a try to monitor signals on PM pins of ETH chip using oscilloscope

the datasheet for the chip is here

reading this paper I noticed that power management is shared between USB and ETH. I think that when you move your mouse ETH is waken up because USB is waken up. the datasheet says
"Many customers use a single poly fuse to power all their devices. For the ganged situation, all power control pins must be tied together"
I think you need to check the schematics for your board and analyze how PM is implemented. I had problems with TI's implementation of ETH support on other boards. It always was a low priority for some reason. Maybe because Linux kernel is being updated too often and ETH is not that required.
as a conclusion I would look into PM implementation differences in working and non-working kernels including PLL and power domain configurations

You may be right, I only see interrupts in usbmon traces when I moved my USB mouse. The fact that mouse activity resumes TX activity would then not be related to interrupts, but something else. Argh... I hate making assumptions, because I know it is the worst way to debug a problem.
I booted linaro kernel built with panda_defconfig, and my current android images. Android zygote did not start, but I could test eth0 from command line anyway. Not surprisingly, TX worked fine, achieving ~10MBps (compared to 20KBps when TX gets stuck).
The panda_defconfig from linaro and mine has only CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG difference. Then my bug must come from the sources: $ git diff kernel_linaro/drivers/usb kernel/drivers/usb > linaro-11.09_android-omap-panda-3.0_kernel-drivers-usb.diff http://pastebin.com/Cdas1SMc
There is a huge part concerning PM_RUNTIME in drivers/usb/host/ehci-omap.c that looks suspect... I will try without related patches.
$ git diff kernel_linaro/drivers/net/usb kernel/drivers/net/usb only contains diffs on cdc_ncm.c, asix.c. Not interesting...
$ git diff kernel_linaro/drivers/net kernel/drivers/net has huge differences... But I prefer to ignore them for now.
git diff kernel_linaro/arch/arm/mach-omap2 kernel/arch/arm/mach-omap2 has huge differences as well... The omap44xx_usbhs_ehci_hwmod is not present in linaro kernel for instance.
