Enable PCIe ASPM for RTL8169 NICs on Dell platforms that have been verified to work reliably with this power management feature. The r8169 driver traditionally disables ASPM to prevent random link failures and system hangs on problematic hardware. Dell has validated these product families to work correctly with RTL NIC ASPM and commits to addressing any ASPM-related issues with RTL hardware in collaboration with Realtek. This change enables ASPM for the following Dell product families: - Alienware - Dell Laptops/Pro Laptops/Pro Max Laptops - Dell Desktops/Pro Desktops/Pro Max Desktops - Dell Pro Rugged Laptops Signed-off-by: Chia-Lin Kao (AceLan) --- drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c index 9c601f271c02..63e83cf071de 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c @@ -5366,6 +5366,32 @@ static void rtl_init_mac_address(struct rtl8169_private *tp) rtl_rar_set(tp, mac_addr); } +bool rtl_aspm_new_dell_platforms(void) +{ + const char *family = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_PRODUCT_FAMILY); + static const char * const dell_product_families[] = { + "Alienware", + "Dell Laptops", + "Dell Pro Laptops", + "Dell Pro Max Laptops", + "Dell Desktops", + "Dell Pro Desktops", + "Dell Pro Max Desktops", + "Dell Pro Rugged Laptops" + }; + int i; + + if (!family) + return false; + + for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(dell_product_families); i++) { + if (str_has_prefix(family, dell_product_families[i])) + return true; + } + + return false; +} + /* register is set if system vendor successfully tested ASPM 1.2 */ static bool rtl_aspm_is_safe(struct rtl8169_private *tp) { @@ -5373,6 +5399,9 @@ static bool rtl_aspm_is_safe(struct rtl8169_private *tp) r8168_mac_ocp_read(tp, 0xc0b2) & 0xf) return true; + if (rtl_aspm_new_dell_platforms()) + return true; + return false; } -- 2.43.0
