100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2020-03-21
Implement basic support for the devlink interface in the ice driver.
Additionally pave some necessary changes for adding a devlink region that
exposes the NVM contents.
This series first contains 5 patches for enabling and implementing full NVM
read access via the ETHTOOL_GEEPROM interface. This includes some cleanup of
endian-types, a new function for reading from the NVM and Shadow RAM as a flat
addressable space, a function to calculate the available flash size during
load, and a change to how some of the NVM version fields are stored in the
ice_nvm_info structure.
Following this is 3 patches for implementing devlink support. First, one patch
which implements the basic framework and introduces the ice_devlink.c file.
Second, a patch to implement basic .info_get support. Finally, a patch which
reads the device PBA identifier and reports it as the `board.id` value in the
.info_get response.

With MTU sized receive buffers it is not expected to have CQE_RX
with multiple receive buffer pointers. But since same physcial link
is shared by PF and it's VFs, the max receive packet configured
at link could be morethan MTU. Hence there is a chance of receiving
plts morethan MTU which then gets DMA'ed into multiple buffers
and notified in a single CQE_RX. This patch treats such pkts as errors
and frees up receive buffers pointers back to hardware.
Also on the transmit side this patch sets SMQ MAXLEN to max value to avoid
HW length errors for the packets whose size > MTU, eg due to path MTU.

On OcteonTx2 silicon there two two types VFs, VFs that share the
physical link with their parent SR-IOV PF and the VFs which work
in pairs using internal HW loopback channels (LBK). Except for the
underlying Rx/Tx channel mapping from netdev functionality perspective
they are almost identical. This patch adds netdev driver support
for these VFs.
Unlike it's parent PF a VF cannot directly communicate with admin
function (AF) and it has to go through PF for the same. The mailbox
communication with AF works like 'VF <=> PF <=> AF'.
Also functionality wise VF and PF are identical, hence to avoid code
duplication PF driver's APIs are resued here for HW initialization,
packet handling etc etc ie almost everything. For VF driver to compile
as module exported few of the existing PF driver APIs.

Added 'sriov_configure' to enable/disable virtual functions (VFs).
Also added handling of mailbox messages from these VFs.
Admin function (AF) is the only one with all priviliges to configure
HW, alloc resources etc etc, PFs and it's VFs have to request AF
via mbox for all their needs. But unlike PFs, their VFs cannot
send a mbox request directly. A VF shares a mailbox region with
it's parent PF, so VF sends a mailbox msg to PF and then PF forwards
it to AF. Then AF after processing sends response to PF which it
again forwards to VF.
This patch adds support for this 'VF <=> PF <=> AF' mailbox
communication.

Problem:
TCP checksum in the output path is not being offloaded during GSO
in the following case:
The network driver does not support scatter-gather but supports
checksum offload with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.
Cause:
skb_segment calls skb_copy_and_csum_bits if the network driver
does not announce NETIF_F_SG. It does not check if the driver
supports NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.
So for devices which might want to offload checksum but do not support SG
there is currently no way to do so if GSO is enabled.
Solution:
In skb_segment check if the network controller does checksum and if so
call skb_copy_bits instead of skb_copy_and_csum_bits.
Testing:
Without the patch, ran iperf TCP traffic with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM enabled
in the network driver. Observed the TCP checksum offload is not happening
since the skbs received by the driver in the output path have
skb->ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE.
With the patch ran iperf TCP traffic and observed that TCP checksum
is being offloaded with skb->ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
Also tested with the patch by disabling NETIF_F_HW_CSUM in the driver
to cover the newly introduced if-else code path in skb_segment.

After MAC switched power, the hardware's RF registers will have

So, load RF path B first, to decrease the period between MAC on

By test, if we load path A first, then there's ~300ms that the
path B is incorrect, it could lead to BT coex's A2DP glitch.
But if we configure path B first, there will only have ~3ms,
significantly lower possibility to have A2DP sound glitch.

Driver used to kick off every TX packets, that will waste some
time while we can do better to kick off the TX packets once after
they are all prepared to be transmitted.
For PCI, it uses DMA engine to transfer the SKBs to the device,
and the transition of the state of the DMA engine could be a cost.
Driver can save some time to kick off multiple SKBs once so that
the DMA engine will have only one transition.
So, split rtw_hci_ops::tx() to rtw_hci_ops::tx_write() and
rtw_hci_ops::tx_kick_off() to explicitly kick the SKBs off after
they are written to the prepared buffer. For packets come from
ieee80211_ops::tx(), write one and then kick it off immediately.
For packets queued in TX queue, which come from
ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue(), we can dequeue them, write them
to the buffer, and then kick them off together.

Each device has only one reserved page shared with all of the
vifs, so it seems not reasonable to pass vif as one of the
arguments to rtw_fw_download_rsvd_page(). If driver is going
to run more than one vif, the content of reserved page could
not be built for all of the vifs.
To fix it, let each vif maintain its own reserved page list,
and build the final reserved page to download to the firmware
from all of the vifs. Hence driver should add reserved pages
to each vif according to the vif->type when adding the vif.
For station mode, add reserved page with rtw_add_rsvd_page_sta().
If the station mode is going to suspend in PNO (net-detect)
mode, remove the reserved pages used for normal mode, and add
new one for wowlan mode with rtw_add_rsvd_page_pno().
For beacon mode, only beacon is required to be added using
rtw_add_rsvd_page_bcn().
This would make the code flow simpler as we don't need to
add reserved pages when vif is running, just add/remove them
when ieee80211_ops::[add|remove]_interface.
When driver is going to download the reserved page, it will
collect pages from all of the vifs, this list is maintained
by rtwdev, with build_list as the pages' member. That way, we
can still build a list of reserved pages to be downloaded.
Also we can get the location of the pages from the list that
is maintained by rtwdev.
The biggest problem is that the first page should always be
beacon, if other type of reserved page is put in the first
page, the tx descriptor and offset could be wrong.
But station mode vif does not add beacon into its list, so
we need to add a dummy page in front of the list, to make
sure other pages will not be put in the first page. As the
dummy page is allocated when building the list, we must free
it before building a new list of reserved pages to firmware.

This driver generally only needs to ensure that
(a) it doesn't try to process TX interrupts at the same time as
power-save operations (and similar)
(b) the device interrupt gets disabled while we're still handling the
last set of interrupts
For (a), all the operations (e.g., PS transitions, packet handling)
happens in non-atomic contexts (e.g., threaded IRQ).
For (b), we only need mutual exclusion for brief sections (i.e., while
we're actually manipulating the interrupt mask/status).
So, we can introduce a separate lock for handling (b), disabling IRQs
while we do it. For (a), we can demote the locking to BH only, now that
(b) (the only steps done in atomic context) and that has its own lock.
This helps reduce the amount of time this driver spends with IRQs off.
Notably, transitioning out of power-save modes can take >3 milliseconds,
and this transition is done under the protection of 'irq_lock'.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
