The SFC9100 family has only one clock per controller, shared by all functions. Therefore only create a clock device under the primary function, and make all other functions refer to the primary's clock device. Since PTP functionality is limited to port 0 and PF 0 on the earlier SFN[56]322F boards, and we also set the primary flag for that function, we can make the creation of a clock device conditional only on this flag.

The primary function of an EF10 controller will share its clock device with other functions in the same domain (which we call secondary functions). To this end, we need to associate functions on the same controller. We do not control probe order, so allow primary and secondary functions to appear in any order. Maintain global lists of all primary functions and of unassociated secondary functions, and a list of secondary functions on each primary function. Use the VPD serial number to tell whether functions are part of the same controller. VPD will not be readable by virtual functions, so this may need to be revisited later.

The EF10 firmware can optionally insert RX timestamps in the packet prefix. These only include the clock minor value. We must also enable periodic time sync events on each event queue which provide the high bits of the clock value. [bwh: Combined and rebased several changes. Added the above description and some sanity checks for inline vs separate timestamps. Changed efx_rx_skb_attach_timestamp() to read the packet prefix from the skb head area.] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

We can potentially pull the entire packet contents into the head area and then free the page it was in. In order to read an inline timestamp safely, we need to copy the prefix into the head area as well. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

I added efx_ptp_get_mode() to avoid moving the definition for efx_ptp_data, since the current PTP mode is needed for siena.c:siena_set_ptp_hwtstamp. [bwh: Also move the rx_filters mask, and add kernel-doc] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

The clock minor tick on the SFC9100 family is 2^-27 s, not 1 ns. There are also various pipeline delays which we need to correct for when interpreting timestamps. We query the firmware for the clock format and corrections at run-time. [bwh: Combined and rebased several changes] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

We'll be sharing clocks between multiple functions with their own MAC addresses. The name field is now documented as 'A short "friendly name" to identify the clock ...' and '... not meant to be a unique id.' So use the name 'sfc'. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

We need a dedicated channel on Siena to ensure we can match up the separate RX and timestamp events for each PTP packet. We won't do this for EF10 as timestamps are delivered inline. Pass a channel index of 0 to MC_CMD_PTP_OP_ENABLE when there is no dedicated channel. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

The MC firmware will return error MC_CMD_ERR_ENOSPC if filter insertion fails due to lack of resources. The net driver's filter implementation for Falcon-architecture returns EBUSY. They should behave consistently, so for EF10 change ENOSPC to EBUSY. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

efx_flush_all() is a really misleading name - it has nothing to do with e.g. flushing DMA queues. Since it's called immediately after efx_stop_port() and is highly dependent on what that does, combine the two functions. Update comments to explain what this is doing a little better. Also update an related and erroneous comment in efx_start_port(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

Split each of efx_mcdi_rpc, efx_mcdi_rpc_finish, and efx_mcdi_rpc_async into a normal and a _quiet version; made the former log MCDI errors with netif_err (and include the raw MCDI error code), and the latter never log them at all. Changed various callers; any where some errors are expected (but others are not) call the _quiet version and then if necessary log the MCDI error themselves. Said logging is done by new efx_mcdi_display_error. Callers of efx_mcdi_rpc*_quiet functions which may want to log the error need to ensure that their outbuf is big enough to hold an MCDI error; to this end, they now use MCDI_DECLARE_BUF_OUT_OR_ERR, which always allocates at least 8 bytes.

We don't directly control RX ingress on Siena or any later controllers, and so we cannot prevent packets from entering the RX datapath while the RX queues are not set up. This results in the hardware incrementing RX_NODESC_DROP_CNT, but it's not an error and we should not include it in error stats. When bringing an interface up or down, pull (or wait for) stats and count the number of packets that were dropped while the interface was down. Subtract this from the reported RX dropped count.

The addition of RX event merging support means we don't reliably detect dropped RX events now. Currently we will only detect them if the previous event for the RX queue had the CONT bit set. Only accept RX completion events as merged if the GET_CAPABILITIES_OUT_RX_BATCHING bit is set in datapath_caps (which it won't be for the low-latency datapath) and the CONT bit is not set on the event.

To run BISTs the MC goes down in to a special mode where it will only respond to MCDI from the testing PF, and TX, RX and event queues are torn down. Other PFs get a message as it goes down to tell them it's going down. When the other PFs get this message, they check the soft status register to tell when the MC has rebooted after BIST mode and they can start recovery. [bwh: Convert the test result to 1 or -1 as for earlier NICs] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

The MC firmware is cooperatively multitasking and its scheduler will send an event when a task yields after running for more than the expected maximum time. This can be useful for firmware development but does not usually indicate a serious error and does not help to detect a lockup (there is a hardware watchdog that does that). Change the message and reduce log level accordingly. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

There is an as-yet unexplained bug that sometimes prevents (or delays) the driver seeing the completion event for a completed MCDI request on the SFC9120. The requested configuration change will have happened but the driver assumes it to have failed, and this can result in further failures. We can mitigate this by polling for completion after unsuccessfully waiting for an event.

rx_prefix_size is 4-bytes aligned on Falcon/Siena (16 bytes), but it is equal to 14 on EF10. So, it should be taken into account if arch requires IP header to be 4-bytes aligned (via NET_IP_ALIGN).

There is a single MCDI PTP operation for setting the frequency adjustment and applying a time offset to the hardware clock. When applying a time offset we should not change the frequency adjustment. These two operations can now be requested separately but this requires a flash firmware update. Keep using the single operation, but remember and repeat the previous frequency adjustment.

This disables PTP when we bring the interface down to avoid getting unmatched RX timestamp events, and tries to re-enable it when bringing the interface up. [bwh: Make efx_ptp_stop() safe on Falcon.

With the introduction of TCP Small Queues, TSO auto sizing, and TCP pacing, we can implement Automatic Corking in the kernel, to help applications doing small write()/sendmsg() to TCP sockets. Idea is to change tcp_push() to check if the current skb payload is under skb optimal size (a multiple of MSS bytes) If under 'size_goal', and at least one packet is still in Qdisc or NIC TX queues, set the TCP Small Queue Throttled bit, so that the push will be delayed up to TX completion time. This delay might allow the application to coalesce more bytes in the skb in following write()/sendmsg()/sendfile() system calls. The exact duration of the delay is depending on the dynamics of the system, and might be zero if no packet for this flow is actually held in Qdisc or NIC TX ring. Using FQ/pacing is a way to increase the probability of autocorking being triggered. Add a new sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking) to control this feature and default it to 1 (enabled) Add a new SNMP counter : nstat -a | grep TcpExtTCPAutoCorking This counter is incremented every time we detected skb was under used and its flush was deferred. Tested: Interesting effects when using line buffered commands under ssh. Excellent performance results in term of cpu usage and total throughput. lpq83:~# echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking lpq83:~# perf stat ./super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128 9410.39 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128': 35209.439626 task-clock # 2.901 CPUs utilized 2,294 context-switches # 0.065 K/sec 101 CPU-migrations # 0.003 K/sec 4,079 page-faults # 0.116 K/sec 97,923,241,298 cycles # 2.781 GHz [83.31%] 51,832,908,236 stalled-cycles-frontend # 52.93% frontend cycles idle [83.30%] 25,697,986,603 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.24% backend cycles idle [66.70%] 102,225,978,536 instructions # 1.04 insns per cycle # 0.51 stalled cycles per insn [83.38%] 18,657,696,819 branches # 529.906 M/sec [83.29%] 91,679,646 branch-misses # 0.49% of all branches [83.40%] 12.136204899 seconds time elapsed lpq83:~# echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking lpq83:~# perf stat ./super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128 6624.89 Performance counter stats for './super_netperf 4 -t TCP_STREAM -H lpq84 -- -m 128': 40045.864494 task-clock # 3.301 CPUs utilized 171 context-switches # 0.004 K/sec 53 CPU-migrations # 0.001 K/sec 4,080 page-faults # 0.102 K/sec 111,340,458,645 cycles # 2.780 GHz [83.34%] 61,778,039,277 stalled-cycles-frontend # 55.49% frontend cycles idle [83.31%] 29,295,522,759 stalled-cycles-backend # 26.31% backend cycles idle [66.67%] 108,654,349,355 instructions # 0.98 insns per cycle # 0.57 stalled cycles per insn [83.34%] 19,552,170,748 branches # 488.244 M/sec [83.34%] 157,875,417 branch-misses # 0.81% of all branches [83.34%] 12.130267788 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
