Description of problem: On a system with Intel 82599 (Niantic) or 82580 (Barton Hills) based NICs, the command 'ethtool -t ethX' fails with 'Cannot test: Operation not supported' Other Intel NIC drivers may also suffer this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): driver: ixgbe version: 2.0.44-k2 firmware-version: 0.9-4 driver: igb version: 2.1.0-k2 firmware-version: 3.19-2 How reproducible: # ethtool -t ethX Actual results: "Cannot test: Operation not supported" Expected results: Self test should run in offline or online mode as specified Additional info: Fix already identified by Andy Gospodarek: ixgbe: http://git.engineering.redhat.com/?p=users/agospoda/rhel5-gtest.git;a=commitdiff;h=14328ca15a2250fb65a6801f870f6217a66bbb80 igb: http://git.engineering.redhat.com/?p=users/agospoda/rhel5-gtest.git;a=commitdiff;h=415c49a485c2204b959fa650ef5692073c55d5df
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
My test kernels have been updated to include a patch for this bugzilla. http://people.redhat.com/agospoda/#rhel5 Please test them and report back your results.
It looks like my test kernels do not contain an upstream fix that fixed a panic in igb_test_intr. The presumption is that the second argument is a net_device, but it is actually passed an object of type igb_adapter by all callers. This was fixed upstream by commit: commit 317f66bdadc31f0c037b91ae7857f5c3d2a4e3e5 Author: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Date: Tue Oct 27 23:46:20 2009 +0000 igb: misc cleanups within igb_ethtool.c That commit is already queued for RHEL5.6 inclusion (bug 566024) from a patch by another developer, but I will add that fix to my test kernels and post new ones for you to test so we are sure it is working.
Doesthe new kernel-2.6.18-211.el5.gtest.88 contain this patch ?
Pierre, gtest.88 contains backports of the two patches listed in the description. It appears the igb patch in gtest.88 currently causes a panic when running the self-test, so I would not give that to a customer to test igb until I post an update to the bug that new test kernels are available.
I tested on ixgbe and igb and it looks like self-test now works. Please let me know if the test kernels in comment #9 do not. # ethtool -t eth0 The test result is PASS The test extra info: Register test (offline) 0 Eeprom test (offline) 0 Interrupt test (offline) 0 Loopback test (offline) 0 Link test (on/offline) 0 # uname -a Linux hp-dl180g6-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com 2.6.18-212.el5.gtest.89 #1 SMP Mon Aug 16 14:01:15 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Event posted on 2010-09-06 09:44 CEST by pamadio is there any step you need me or the customer to take for this ticket ? Is 2.6.18-216.el5 supposed to fix his problem or are more change planned before test can be done ? Internal Status set to 'Waiting on Engineering' This event sent from IssueTracker by pamadio issue 855523
in kernel-2.6.18-219.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/jwilson/el5 Detailed testing feedback is always welcomed.

This will probably mean instrumenting e1000_diag_test in drivers/net/e1000e/ethtoolc.c and then debugging that test. It sounds like this is a rather specialized chassis, so it might take some extra tweaking to make it work correctly over what Intel normally has working with its add-on cards or LOMs.
