Question... ever since the the onboard DPAA Ethernet adapter is usable, the internet speed has been capped to 100Mbps... (while my Link is 1Gbit and internal data transfers are also far above the 100mbit ) Any idea

The RC1 of kernel 5.15 is available for the X1000 and X5000.

Download: linux-image-5.15-rc1-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Please test the RC1.

I wrote: Hello Juergen,
Hello All,

Since the RC1 of kernel 5.13, -smp 2 and -smp 4 don't work with a
virtual e5500 QEMU KVM-HV machine anymore. [1]
I see in the serial console, that the uImage doesn't load. I use the
following QEMU command for booting:

qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -kernel
uImage -drive format=raw,file=MintPPC32-X5000.img,index=0,if=virtio
-netdev user,id=mynet0 -device virtio-net,netdev=mynet0 -append "rw
root=/dev/vda" -device virtio-vga -device virtio-mouse-pci -device
virtio-keyboard-pci -device pci-ohci,id=newusb -device
usb-audio,bus=newusb.0 -smp 4

The kernels boot without KVM-HV.

Summary for KVM-HV:

-smp 1 -> works
-smp 2 -> doesn't work
-smp 3 -> works
-smp 4 -> doesn't work

I used -smp 4 before the RC1 of kernel 5.13 because my FSL P5040 BookE
machine [2] has 4 cores.

Does this patch solve this issue? [3]

Thanks,
Christian
