Hi Paul, Thanks for reviewing.

AVNU stands for "Avnu Alliance." AVNU (Audio Video Bridging Network Alliance) is an industry consortium that promotes and certifies interoperability of devices implementing IEEE 802.1 standards for time-sensitive applications. This AVNU test refers to AVNU certification test plan.

Since it's a hardware bug, not software, probably Fixes: tag not needed ? Not sure which Fixes: commit to point to hmm.

My earlier thought is that it is easier to look for the keyword "qbvfullth" in the i226 SW User Manual where you'll get a hit that brings you directly to that register. "qbvfullthreshold" would not. There are some comments in the new code that links 'th' to 'threshold' for the reader. But I'm okay to change it to "qbvfullthreshold". Thoughts? Regards, Faizal

(Also above?) Hi Paul, Would like to confirm, the indent suggestion from you is referring to which style ? (a) 1. Send taprio ... tc qdisc .. map 3 4 .. queue 1@0 .... (b) 1. Send taprio ... tc qdisc .. map 3 4 .. queue 1@0 .... (c) 1. Send taprio ... tc qdisc .. map 3 4 .. queue 1@0 .... I think it's (a), but afraid if misunderstood the suggestion. Thank you !

AVNU testing uncovered that even when the taprio gate is closed, some packets still transmit. A known i225/6 hardware errata states traffic might overflow the planned QBV window. This happens because MAC maintains an internal buffer, primarily for supporting half duplex retries. Therefore, when the gate closes, residual MAC data in the buffer may still transmit. To mitigate this for i226, reduce the MAC's internal buffer from 192 bytes to 88 bytes by modifying the RETX_CTL register value. This follows guidelines from: a) Ethernet Controller I225/I22 Spec Update Rev 2.1 Errata Item 9: TSN: Packet Transmission Might Cross Qbv Window b) I225/6 SW User Manual Rev 1.2.4: Section 8.11.5 Retry Buffer Control Test Steps: 1.
