This change makes it so that we use the length of the packet instead of the
DD status bit to determine if a new descriptor is ready to be processed.
The obvious advantage is that it cuts down on reads as we don't really even
need the DD bit if going from a 0 to a non-zero value on size is enough to
inform us that the packet has been completed.

The goto found here for when in MFP mode is pointless. It jumps to the
end of a series of if blocks. However, right after this statement is
a closing '}' for this if block, which will result in the program flow
going to the exact same location as the goto statement indicates. Thus,
regardless of whether we are in MFP mode, the program flow will resume
from the same location.
This arose due to various refactoring which did not notice that this
goto became essentially a no-op.
To properly understand this diff you will need to view a larger context
than is given by default.

This patch cleans up and addresses several issues in the way that i40e
handles private flags. Previously the code was choosing fixed bits and
trying to match them up with strings in a somewhat haphazard way. This
resulted in the possibility for adding a new bit and causing a mismatch as
the private flags are linear bits starting at 0, and the private flags in
the driver were split up over a group specific to the PF and a group that
was global.
What this change does is define an array of structs used to represent the
private flags. Contained within the structs are the bits necessary to know
which flags to set and/or clear depending on the state of the bit. By
doing this we can add new bits in the future with minimal overhead and
avoid creating possible mis-matches should we need to remove a flag based
on compile options.

The current driver mode is to use a write-back mechanism for the head
register which indicates transmit completions. The VF driver needs to be
able to work on hardware that exclusively uses descriptor write-back, so
change the default driver mode of operation to descriptor write-back for
VF. In our analysis, performance wasn't significantly different with
either write-back method.

logical partitions [e.g., when a PF is assigned via PDA to some VM].
The management firmware provides a generic infrastructure for
device locks. For each 'resource', it's guaranteed it could be acquired
by at most a single PF at any given time [or by management firmware].
This patch adds the necessary logic in qed for utilizing said
infrastructure, implementing lock/unlock internal APIs.

During HW initialization, driver would set various registers to their
needed values - but it assumes all registers start at their reset-value,
so there's no need to re-configure a register's default value.
This assumption might be incorrect, e.g., in case of preboot driver
running and initializing the driver prior to our driver.
To overcome this, we now ask management firmware to initiate a PF-flr
early during the initialization sequence. That would return everything
in the PF's scope back to default and prevent previous configurations
from still being applied.

Management firmware is used as an arbiter between the various PFs
in regard to loading - it causes the various PFs to load/unload
sequentially and informs each of its appropriate rule in the init.
But the existing flow is too weak to handle some scenarios where
PFs aren't properly cleaned prior to loading.
The significant scenarios falling under this criteria:
a. Preboot drivers in some environment can't properly unload.
b. Unexpected driver replacement [kdump, PDA].
Modern management firmware supports a more intricate loading flow,
where the driver has the ability to overcome previous limitations.
This moves qed into using this newer scheme.
Notice new scheme is backward compatible, so new drivers would
still be able to load properly on top of older management firmwares
and vice versa.

Management firmware is used as arbiter between different PFs
which are loading/unloading, but in order to use the synchronization
it offers the contending configurations need to be applied either
between their LOAD_REQ <-> LOAD_DONE or UNLOAD_REQ <-> UNLOAD_DONE
management firmware commands.
Existing HW stop flow utilizes 2 different functions: qed_hw_stop() and
qed_hw_reset() which don't abide this requirement; Most of the closure
is doing outside the scope of the unload request.
This patch removes qed_hw_reset() and places the relevant stop
functionality underneath the management firmware protection.

similarly, when accessing a subscription by going through subscriptions
list, the entire process is also protected by the name_seq->lock.
Therefore, if subscription refcount is increased before it's inserted
into subscriptions list, and its refcount is decreased after it's

before accessing subscription object which is obtained by going through
subscriptions list under name_seq->lock protection.

Add support for pipeline debug (dpipe)
Arkadi says:
While doing the hardware offloading process much of the hardware
specifics cannot be presented. An example for such is the routing
LPM algorithm which differ in hardware implementation from the
kernel software implementation. The only information the user receives
is whether specific route is offloaded or not, but he cannot really
understand the underlying implementation nor get the specific statistics
related to that process.
Another example is ACL offload using TC which is commonly implemented
using TCAM memory. Currently there is no capability to gain visibility
into the TCAM structure and to debug suboptimal resource allocation.
This patchset introduces capability for exporting the ASICs pipeline
abstraction via devlink infrastructure, which should serve as an
complementary tool. This infrastructure allows the user to get visibility
into the ASIC by modeling it as a set of match/action tables.
The main objects defined:
Table - abstraction for a single pipeline stage. Contains the
available match/actions and counter availability.
Entry - entry in a specific table with specific matches/actions
values and dedicated counter.
Header/field - tuples which describes the tables behavior.
As an example one of the ASIC's L3 blocks will be modeled. The egress
rif (router interface) table is the final step in the L3 pipeline
processing which does match on the internal rif index which was
determined before by the routing logic. The erif table determines
whether to forward or drop the packet and updates the corresponding
rif L3 statistics.
To expose this internal resources a special metadata header will
be introduced that describes the internal information gathered by
the ASIC's pipeline and contains the following fields: rif_port_index,
forward and drop.
Some internal hardware resources have direct mapping to kernel
objects. For example the rif_port_index is mapped to the net-devices
ifindex. By providing this mapping the users gains visibility into
the offloading process.
Follow-up work will include exporting more L3 tables which will give
visibility into the routing process.
First stage is adding support for dpipe in devlink. Next add support
in spectrum driver. Finally implement egress router interface
(erif) table for spectrum ASIC as an example.

The pipeline debug is used to export the pipeline abstractions for the
main objects - tables, headers and entries. The only support for set is
for changing the counter parameter on specific table.
The basic structures:
Header - can represent a real protocol header information or internal
metadata. Generic protocol headers like IPv4 can be shared
between drivers. Each driver can add local headers.
Field - part of a header. Can represent protocol field or specific ASIC
metadata field. Hardware special metadata fields can be mapped
to different resources, for example switch ASIC ports can have
internal number which from the systems point of view is mapped
to netdeivce ifindex.
Match - represent specific match rule. Can describe match on specific
field or header. The header index should be specified as well
in order to support several header instances of the same type
(tunneling).
Action - represents specific action rule. Actions can describe operations
on specific field values for example like set, increment, etc.
And header operation like add and delete.
Value - represents value which can be associated with specific match or
action.
Table - represents a hardware block which can be described with match/
action behavior. The match/action can be done on the packets
data or on the internal metadata that it gathered along the
packets traversal throw the pipeline which is vendor specific
and should be exported in order to provide understanding of
ASICs behavior.
Entry - represents single record in a specific table. The entry is
identified by specific combination of values for match/action.
Prior to accessing the tables/entries the drivers provide the header/
field data base which is used by driver to user-space. The data base
is split between the shared headers and unique headers.

This series provides a fail-safe mechanism to allow safely re-configuring
mlx5e netdevice and provides a resiliency against sporadic
configuration failures.
To enable this we do some refactoring and code reorganizing to allow
breaking the drivers open/close flows to stages:
open -> activate -> deactivate -> close.
In addition we need to allow creating fresh HW ring resources
(mlx5e_channels) with their own "new" set of parameters, while keeping
the current ones running and active until the new channels are
successfully created with the new configuration, and only then we can
safly replace (switch) old channels with new ones.
For that we introduce mlx5e_channels object and an API to manage it:
- channels = open_channels(new_params):
open fresh TX/RX channels
- activate_channels(channels):
redirect traffic to them and attach them to the netdev
- deactivate_channes(channels)
stop traffic and detach from netdev
- close(channels)
Free the TX/RX HW resources of those channels
With the above strategy it is straightforward to achieve the desired
behavior of fail-safe configuration. In pseudo code:
make_new_config(new_params)
{
old_channels = current_active_channels;
new_channels = create_channels(new_params);
if (!new_channels)
return "Failed, but current channels are still active :)"
deactivate_channels(old_channels); /* Can't fail */
set_hw_new_state(); /* If needed */
activate_channels(new_channels); /* Can't fail */
close_channels(old_channels);
current_active_channels = new_channels;
return "SUCCESS";
}
At the top of this series, we change the following flows to be fail-safe:
ethtool:
- ring parameters
- coalesce parameters
- tx copy break parameters
- cqe compressing/moderation mode setting (priv flags)
ndos:
- tc setup
- set features: LRO
- change mtu

====================
mlx5e-failsafe 27-03-2017
This series provides a fail-safe mechanism to allow safely re-configuring
mlx5e netdevice and provides a resiliency against sporadic
configuration failures.
To enable this we do some refactoring and code reorganizing to allow
breaking the drivers open/close flows to stages:
open -> activate -> deactivate -> close.
In addition we need to allow creating fresh HW ring resources
(mlx5e_channels) with their own "new" set of parameters, while keeping
the current ones running and active until the new channels are
successfully created with the new configuration, and only then we can
safly replace (switch) old channels with new ones.
For that we introduce mlx5e_channels object and an API to manage it:
- channels = open_channels(new_params):
open fresh TX/RX channels
- activate_channels(channels):
redirect traffic to them and attach them to the netdev
- deactivate_channes(channels)
stop traffic and detach from netdev
- close(channels)
Free the TX/RX HW resources of those channels
With the above strategy it is straightforward to achieve the desired
behavior of fail-safe configuration. In pseudo code:
make_new_config(new_params)
{
old_channels = current_active_channels;
new_channels = create_channels(new_params);
if (!new_channels)
return "Failed, but current channels are still active :)"
deactivate_channels(old_channels); /* Can't fail */
set_hw_new_state(); /* If needed */
activate_channels(new_channels); /* Can't fail */
close_channels(old_channels);
current_active_channels = new_channels;
return "SUCCESS";
}
At the top of this series, we change the following flows to be fail-safe:
ethtool:
- ring parameters
- coalesce parameters
- tx copy break parameters
- cqe compressing/moderation mode setting (priv flags)
ndos:
- tc setup
- set features: LRO
- change mtu
