From 94fb848bf43fae3410639fb2110a783200e9e1da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Allan Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 09:00:03 +0000 Subject: e1000e: enable ECC on I217/I218 to catch packet buffer memory errors In rare instances, memory errors have been detected in the internal packet buffer memory on I217/I218 when stressed under certain environmental conditions. Enable Error Correcting Code (ECC) in hardware to catch both correctable and uncorrectable errors. Correctable errors will be handled by the hardware. Uncorrectable errors in the packet buffer will cause the packet to be received with an error indication in the buffer descriptor causing the packet to be discarded. If the uncorrectable error is in the descriptor itself, the hardware will stop and interrupt the driver indicating the error. The driver will then reset the hardware in order to clear the error and restart. Both types of errors will be accounted for in statistics counters.
