From c96614eeab663646f57f67aa591e015abd8bd0ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Enguerrand de Ribaucourt enguerrand.de-ribaucourt@savoirfairelinux.com Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2022 15:46:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: dp83822: disable false carrier interrupt
When unplugging an Ethernet cable, false carrier events were produced by the PHY at a very high rate. Once the false carrier counter full, an interrupt was triggered every few clock cycles until the cable was replugged. This resulted in approximately 10k/s interrupts.
Since the false carrier counter (FCSCR) is never used, we can safely disable this interrupt.
In addition to improving performance, this also solved MDIO read timeouts I was randomly encountering with an i.MX8 fec MAC because of the interrupt flood. The interrupt count and MDIO timeout fix were tested on a v5.4.110 kernel.
