My problem is the fallback of the hardware to 10 Mbps after a
re-connect, which happens almost all times. In the broken case
the status field has always the 0x40000000 bit set.

Still the naming for the status flag is just a guess. Ignoring
the status, when this bit is set, solves my problem. But I just
have one notebook hardware (I219-LM, rev 21), which exhibits the
problem. It doesn't happen for my other notebook with I219-V
(rev 21) hardware (or it's just much more unlikely).

This is wrong. We have no AUTONEG indication in bit 30 of E1000_STATUS 
(0x0008) register. These code piece should be removed.

Hello Jan-Marek,
That's okay to use u8 size for a duplex indication and u16 size for a 
link indication, as you refer in previous patch. But use the 'autoneg 
status' is wrong. I wonder how this can solve the problem. Do you 
encountered with this problem on other platforms with our devices? (I 
meant different, no similar HW)
Anyway, 0x40000000 indication is not relevant to the auto-negotiation.
May I ask do your experiments with ME disable (via BIOS) and see if same 
problem still happen.
Thanks,
Sasha

Just as a reminder: I have no idea what this bit actually indicates. This is just a guess I had when looking into the problem. I don't know if the device was still negotiating at this point, but this bit was set in the status register.

Other platforms as Windows? I'm just doing Linux development, but I'll ask the Windows people and can check, if this problem also happens there.

I don't see this problem with older HW (Fujitsu E7x6, also Skylake based, but I219-V). It happens with both of my U7x7 test notebooks. I have some older Haswell based HW (E7x4), which I didn't yet test. Google tells me they have "Intel 82579LM Gigabit" ethernet.

All of these three series are in use and we have a few hundred or even thousand of them. This problem was found during the tests for our next Ubuntu 18.04 based release. This just seems to happen with the "new" U-series. I'm not aware of any problems like this with the older E-series HW.
And it probably just happens more often now for whatever reason.

Disabling ME shouldn't be a problem to test.

I'll continue testing all the HW tomorrow, with both our releases, and report back. And maybe there is an easier way to trigger the problem then re-plugging the cable all the time (maybe better to get a switch and power cycle that...).

Please tell me if there is anything else I should look for or test.

You have mentioned that there is no problem on I219-V. The main 
difference between I219-LM and I219-V is 'Intel Standard Manageability' 
feature. So, I suggest to disable ME and re-check.

According to the BIOS ME is actually disabled.
Nevertheless I selected "UnConfigure ME", which didn'tr change anything in the BIOS (ME
v11.8.50.3425 FWIW). I did look for vendor BIOS updates, as you think this problem might be ME
related. There is an update available.

So I did the BIOS update - no changes regarding the network auto-negotiation behavior.

I also tried both of my E-Series. The old Haswell series (E7x4) also has a disabled ME and as
suspected the following HW:

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I217-LM (rev 04)
        Subsystem: Fujitsu Limited. Ethernet Connection I217-LM
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 27
        Memory at f0500000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
        Memory at f053f000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        I/O ports at 3080 [size=32]
        Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
        Capabilities: [e0] PCI Advanced Features
        Kernel driver in use: e1000e
        Kernel modules: e1000e

I tried the patched module on both E-series HW and they always have the 0x40000000 bit set when
decoding the speed from the status register (always 0x40080083), either with or without the ME
available. So my patch breaks my older HW, as you probably suspected. I removed the 0x40000000 test
from the module, and they always negotiated 1000 Mbps just fine.

I've attached logs for all three notebooks with my patched module (without the  0x40000000 test) and
a debug filter for all files of the module (echo "file */e1000e-20/* +p;" >
/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control).

My test consisted of rmmod'ing, sleep 1, insmod'ing, set debug filter + two reconnects.

So I'm basically back to square one.

How to proceed?

ME disabled - good. How long time you wait for 1000Mbps after a re 
connection of the cable? Could please, wait 5-10s and see if link back 
to the 1000Mbps?
Unfortunately we have no such HW in our labs. I will try ask if our PAE 
can help with more debug if need.

From the U757 logs attached to the last mail:

Which is something about 16s.

Actually IMHO there is a larger chance to fall to 10 Mbits if you wait longer disconnected.
Still reloading the module remedies this condition.

Hmmm.

Since you still read 0x40000000 value in the status register it is 
causing me to think that ME works. Another way I think you should to go 
ask your vendors for last updated NVM (or with ME disabled if possible) 
for your HW. Since I219V works as properly, I expected I219-LM without 
ME works too.
Let's do follow experiments on your side. Please, do rmmod e1000e.ko, 
bring up the machine without the driver. Then re-connect the cable few 
times and see what is link's speed up. You can be trusted on the LED 
indicators.

From the logs I sent:

I217-LM: "status 0x40080083 => 1000 Mbps, Full Duplex"
I219-V: "status 0x40080083 => 1000 Mbps, Full Duplex"
I219-LM auto-nego ok: "status 0x80083 => 1000 Mbps, Full Duplex"
I219-LM auto-nego broken: "status 0x40080003 => 10 Mbps, Full Duplex"

According to the BIOS both LM-variants have Intel ME disabled. If I can't trust the BIOS, is there a
way to check this?

So even if the driver (+ ethtool) indicates 10 MBits both lights are on. Same without the driver.
But wget speed is is just 10 MBits, as ethtool indicates. Manually overriding to 1000 Mbps still works.

Now I directly connected the I219-V with my I219-LM.

On the I219-V I ran "ethtool -s enp0s31f6 speed n autoneg off"
These are the results on the I219-LM side:
n=1000 : green and yellow lights on. "status 0x80083 => 1000 Mbps, Full Duplex"
n=100 : green and yellow lights on. "status 0x80042 => 100 Mbps, Half Duplex"
n=10 : just green light on. "status 0x80082 => 10 Mbps, Half Duplex"

The light indicators are the same on the I219-LM without the driver.

All status output on the I219-V has the 0x40000000 bit set, the I219-LM normally never.
The I219-V always had full duplex according to ethtool and the status.

If I set both sides to auto-neg, the first negotiation is correct (both have 1000 Mbps). If I
reconnect it becomes 10 Mbps on the I219-LM side and 1000 Mbps on the I219-V side. Both lights are
still on. The I219-LM side *just* has the status bit 0x40000000 set the first time it goes to 10
Mbits (what I based my patch on without testing it on other HW).

What does intelmetool from the coreboot project show?

    $ git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot.git
    $ cd coreboot
    $ cd util/intelmetoolo
    $ make -j
    $ sudo ./intelmetool -m


Kind regards,

Re-anabling auto-negotiation also works (I219-V ethtool => I219-LM status)

1. "ethtool -s enp0s31f6 speed 100 autoneg off" => "status 0x80042 => 100 Mbps, Half Duplex"
2. "ethtool -s enp0s31f6 autoneg on" => "status 0x80083 => 1000 Mbps, Full Duplex"

according to dmesg (incl. status) and ethtool.
Until I reconnect.

Bad news, you have a `QM87 Express LPC Controller` so you have ME hardware on board and you can't

What do we make of this?

I see same problem with both u757 and u727.
No problem with either e736 and e754.

You might try to contact your HW vendor. Probably your HW was Windows OS 
oriented.You may ask for a FW/NVM update no ME or try to replace the HW 
on none ME.

What part of ME needs to be disabled?
And - as you can see - both of the e-series also have some ME settings on and work.

The first two dumps are from my E-series notebooks and they work just fine with their ME settings.
The other two dumps are from my broken U-series. I don't understand why ME should make a problem for
U and not for E.

And Intel CPU don't work without ME AFAIK.
And all my HW are laptops, so there is nothing I can replace.

So please tell me what kind of problems you see with the U-series settings, compared to their E
counterparts, that might need a vendor fix.

Thanks
