I have observed an issue where the RX direction of the LS1028A ENETC pMAC
seems unresponsive. The minimal procedure to reproduce the issue is:
1. Connect ENETC port 0 with a loopback RJ45 cable to one of the Felix
switch ports (0).
2. Bring the ports up (MAC Merge layer is not enabled on either end).
3. Send a large quantity of unidirectional (express) traffic from Felix
to ENETC. I tried altering frame size and frame count, and it doesn't
appear to be specific to either of them, but rather, to the quantity
of octets received. Lowering the frame count, the minimum quantity of
packets to reproduce relatively consistently seems to be around 37000
frames at 1514 octets (w/o FCS) each.
4. Using ethtool --set-mm, enable the pMAC in the Felix and in the ENETC
ports, in both RX and TX directions, and with verification on both
ends.
5. Wait for verification to complete on both sides.
6. Configure a traffic class as preemptible on both ends.
7. Send some packets again.
The issue is at step 5, where the verification process of ENETC ends
(meaning that Felix responds with an SMD-R and ENETC sees the response),
but the verification process of Felix never ends (it remains VERIFYING).
If step 3 is skipped or if ENETC receives less traffic than
approximately that threshold, the test runs all the way through
(verification succeeds on both ends, preemptible traffic passes fine).
If, between step 4 and 5, the step below is also introduced:
4.1. Disable and re-enable PM0_COMMAND_CONFIG bit RX_EN
then again, the sequence of steps runs all the way through, and
verification succeeds, even if there was the previous RX traffic
injected into ENETC.
Traffic sent *by* the ENETC port prior to enabling the MAC Merge layer
does not seem to influence the verification result, only received
traffic does.
The LS1028A manual does not mention any relationship between
PM0_COMMAND_CONFIG and MMCSR, and the hardware people don't seem to
know for now either.
The bit that is toggled to work around the issue is also toggled
by enetc_mac_enable(), called from phylink's mac_link_down() and
mac_link_up() methods - which is how the workaround was found:
verification would work after a link down/up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
