When a given ring is running out of space, the FW can send pause towards the
network. When working with multi-queues, when one queue is getting out of space
it can block all other queues. The preferred scheme is to send pause frames only
when running out of the shared internal chip buffers and if a given queue cannot
place a packet on the host, it will drop it. Since some users might want to work
in drop-less mode, allowing changing the behavior as a module parameter.

The new FW improves the packets per second rate. It required a lot of change in
the FW which implies many changes in the driver to support it. It is now also
possible for the driver to use a separate MSI-X vector for Rx and Tx - this also
add some to the complicity of this change.
All things said - after this patch, practically all performance matrixes show
improvement.
Though Vladislav Zolotarov is not signed on this patch, he did most of the job
and deserves credit for that.

Adding support for BCM8727 - a dual port SFP+ PHY. That includes verification of
the optic module vendor and part number - the list of approved modules resides
on the nvram and the module is verified by the FW. Since not all users would
like to use this verification feature, it can be disabled. The default behavior
is to issue a warning if the module is not approved, but still allow using it -
but it is also possible to disable the link if the module is not approved.

>From now on FW will be downloaded from the binary file using request_firmware.
There will be different files for every supported chip. Currently 57710 (e1) and
57711 (e1h).
File names have the following format: bnx2x-<chip version>-<FW version>.fw.
ihex versions of current FW files are submitted in the next patch.
Each binary file has a header in the following format:
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section {
__be32 len;
__be32 offset;
}
struct bnx2x_fw_file_hdr {
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_ops;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_ops_offsets;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section init_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section tsem_int_table_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section tsem_pram_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section usem_int_table_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section usem_pram_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section csem_int_table_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section csem_pram_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_int_table_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_pram_data;
struct bnx2x_fw_file_section fw_version;
}
Each bnx2x_fw_file_section contains the length and the offset of the appropriate
section in the binary file. Values are stored in the big endian format.
Data types of arrays:
init_data __be32
init_ops_offsets __be16
XXsem_pram_data u8
XXsem_int_table_data u8
init_ops struct raw_op {
u8 op;
__be24 offset;
__be32 data;
}
fw_version u8
>From now boundaries of a specific initialization stage are stored in
init_ops_offsets array instead of being defined by separate macroes. The index
in init_ops_offsets is calculated by BLOCK_OPS_IDX macro:
#define BLOCK_OPS_IDX(block, stage, end) \
(2*(((block)*STAGE_IDX_MAX) + (stage)) + (end))
Security:
In addition to sanity check of array boundaries bnx2x will check a FW version.
Additional checks might be added in the future.

Since slow-path events, including link update, are handled in
work-queue, a race condition was introduced in the self-test that
sometimes caused the link status to fail: the self-test was running
under RTNL lock, and if the link-watch was scheduled it stoped the
shared work-queue (waiting for the RTNL lock) and so the link update
event was not handled until the self-test ended (releasing the RTNL
lock) with failure (since the link status was not updated)

The allocated RX buffer size was 64 bytes bigger than the PCI mapped
size with no good reason. If the packet was actually using the buffer up
to its limit and if the last 64 bytes of the buffer crossed 4KB boundary
then an unmapped PCI page was accessed. The fix is to use only one
parameter for the buffer size - there is no need to differentiate
between the buffer size and the PCI mapping size since the extra 64
bytes can actually be used by the FW to align the Ethernet payload to
64 bytes.

The has Rx work check was wrong: when the FW was at the end of the page,
the driver was already at the beginning of the next page. Since the
check only validated that both driver and FW are pointing to the same
place, it concluded that there is still work to be done. This caused
some serious issues including long latency results on ping-pong test and
lockups while unloading the driver in that condition.

Load/Unload under traffic
Few issues were found when loading and unloading under traffic:
- When receiving Tx interrupt call netif_wake_queue if the queue is
stopped but the state is open
- Check that interrupts are enabled before doing anything else on the
msix_fp_int function
- In nic_load, enable the interrupts only when needed and ready for it
- Function stop_leading returns status since it can fail
- Add 1ms delay when unloading the driver to validate that there are no
open transactions that already started by the FW
- Splitting the "has work" function into Tx and Rx so the same function
will be used on unload and interrupts
- Do not request for WoL if only resetting the device (save the time
that it takes the FW to set the link after reset)
- Fixing the device reset after iSCSI boot and before driver load - all
internal buffers must be cleared before the driver is loaded

The TPA stands for Transparent Packet Aggregation. When enabled, the FW
aggregate in-order TCP packets according to the 4-tuple match and sends
1 big packet to the driver. This packet is stored on an SGL in which
each SGE is 1 page. The FW also implements a timeout algorithm and it
honors all TCP flag, including the push flag as a trigger to halt
aggregation.
