I stumbled upon this Github DPAA ethernet link. https://github.com/opencomputeproject/o ... rnet.patch

In this link i found a piece of text that looked a bit like the issues the X5000 is having with the DPAA adapter.

config FSL_DPAA_CS_THRESHOLD_1G
+ hex "Egress congestion threshold on 1G ports"
+ range 0x1000 0x10000000
+ default "0x06000000"
+ ---help---
+ The size in bytes of the egress Congestion State notification threshold on 1G ports.
+ The 1G dTSECs can quite easily be flooded by cores doing Tx in a tight loop (Traffic that stops)
+ (e.g. by sending UDP datagrams at "while(1) speed"),
+ and the larger the frame size, the more acute the problem.
+ So we have to find a balance between these factors:
+ - avoiding the device staying congested for a prolonged time (risking
+ the netdev watchdog to fire - see also the tx_timeout module param);
+ - affecting performance of protocols such as TCP, which otherwise
+ behave well under the congestion notification mechanism;
+ - preventing the Tx cores from tightly-looping (as if the congestion
+ threshold was too low to be effective);
+ - running out of memory if the CS threshold is set too high. (out of bufferspace ??? )

Here a link to a video i made a while ago where you can see the traffic die.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15I5TDQ ... 3e7S7LWlOE

Unfortunatly i dont have the skills to fix this... if its related ..

Hi All,

Here is the alpha4 for testing.

New:

• X5000: Additional kernel with config FSL_DPAA_CS_THRESHOLD_1G as default (Thanks to Skateman)
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 4.19
• Linux Git log

Download: vmlinux-4.19-alpha4-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Please test it.

Thanks,
Christian

Alpha 4 is fine, the DPAA patch did not solve the issue! thanks a lot for adding the patch anyway Christian.
