On POWER systems, DMA mapping/unmapping operations are very expensive. These changes reduce these costs by trying to reuse DMA mapped pages. After all the buffers associated with a page have been processed and passed up, the page is placed into a ring (if there is room). For each page that is required for a refill operation, a page in the ring is examined to determine if its page count has fallen to 1, ie. the kernel has released its reference to these packets. If this is the case, the page can be immediately added back into the RX descriptor ring, without having to re-map it for DMA. If the kernel is still holding a reference to this page, it is removed from the ring and unmapped for DMA. Then a new page, which can immediately be used by RX buffers in the descriptor ring, is allocated and DMA mapped. The time a page needs to spend in the recycle ring before the kernel has released its page references is based on the number of buffers that use this page. As large pages can hold more RX buffers, the RX recycle ring can be shorter. This reduces memory usage on POWER systems, while maintaining the performance gain achieved by recycling pages, following the driver change to pack more than two RX buffers into large pages. When an IOMMU is not present, the recycle ring can be small to reduce memory usage, since DMA mapping operations are inexpensive. With a small recycle ring, attempting to refill the descriptor queue with more buffers than the equivalent size of the recycle ring could ultimately lead to memory leaks if page entries in the recycle ring were overwritten. To prevent this, the check to see if the recycle ring is full is changed to check if the next entry to be written is NULL. [bwh: Combine and rebase several commits so this is complete before the following buffer-packing changes. Remove module parameter.] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

Enable RX DMA scattering iff an RX buffer large enough for the current MTU will not fit into a single page and the NIC supports DMA scattering for kernel-mode RX queues. On Falcon and Siena, the RX_USR_BUF_SIZE field is used as the DMA limit for both all RX queues with scatter enabled. Set it to 1824, matching what Onload uses now. Maintain a statistic for frames truncated due to lack of descriptors (rx_nodesc_trunc). This is distinct from rx_frm_trunc which may be incremented when scattering is disabled and implies an over-length frame. Whenever an MTU change causes scattering to be turned on or off, update filters that point to the PF queues, but leave others unchanged, as VF drivers assume scattering is off. Add n_frags parameters to various functions, and make them iterate: - efx_rx_packet() - efx_recycle_rx_buffers() - efx_rx_mk_skb() - efx_rx_deliver() Make efx_handle_rx_event() responsible for updating efx_rx_queue::removed_count. Change the RX pipeline state to a starting ring index and number of fragments, and make __efx_rx_packet() responsible for clearing it. Based on earlier versions by David Riddoch and Jon Cooper.

Currently we prefetch from the Ethernet header, but we will also read the hash prefix. In practice they should be in the same cache line and this won't hurt, but it is still pointless to add on the hash prefix size. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

The Linux side of EEH is triggered by MMIO reads, but this driver's data path does not issue any MMIO reads (except in legacy interrupt mode). Therefore add a monitor function to poll EEH periodically. When preparing to reset the device based on our own error detection, also poll EEH and defer to its recovery mechanism if appropriate.

On Siena, VFs share RSS configuration with the PF. We attempted to support configurations where the PF only uses 1 RX queue and VFs use multiple RX queues, by (1) setting up RSS for the number of RX queues per VF (2) disabling RSS in the PF's RX default filters. Unfortunately commit cd2d5b52 ('sfc: Add SR-IOV back-end support for SFC9000 family') only included (1). This is (2). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

efx_filter_insert_filter() uses the first table entry in the hash chain that either has the same match values or is empty. This means that replacement doesn't always work correctly: 1. Insert filter F1 with match values M1, hashing to H1, at first possible entry E1. 2. Insert filter F2 with match values M2, hashing to H1, at second possible entry E2. 3. Remove filter F1. 4. Insert filter F3 with match values M2, hashing to H1, at first possible entry E1. F3 should have either replaced F2 or been rejected (depending on priority and the replace_equal parameter). Instead, search for both a matching filter that the inserted filter would replace, and an available insertion point, up to the applicable maximum search depths. If we insert at lower depth than a replaced filter, clear the replaced filter. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

efx_filter_search() is only called from efx_filter_insert(), and neither function is very long. The following bug fix requires a more sophisticated search with a third result, which is going to be easier to implement as part of the same function.

Ben Hutchings authored
These functions happen to work for default MAC filters: they generate an initial index of 1/0 for unicast/multicast respectively and an increment of 1 for either, so a search succeeds at depth 2. But this is a matter of luck rather than design, and it really won't work well with the bug fix we're about to do. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

Ben Hutchings authored
The 'replace' flag to efx_filter_insert_filter() controls whether the new filter may replace *any* filter, and is checked even before priority comparison. But lower-priority filters should never block insertion of higher-priority filters. Change the priority checking so that lower-priority filters are replaced regardless of the value of the flag, and rename the flag to 'replace_equal'.

There is a long-standing problem with the packet-timestamp matching in the driver. When a PTP packet is received by the MC, the FPGA timestamps the packet and the MC sends the timestamp and 6 bytes of the UUID to the driver. The driver then matches the timestamp against received packets using the same 6 bytes of UUID. The problem comes from the choice of which 6 bytes to use. The PTP spec is slightly contradictory and misleading in one of the two places where the UUIDs are discussed. From section 7.2.2.2 of the spec, a PTPD2 UUID can be either a EUI-64 or a EUI-64 constructed from a EUI-48. The typical ethernet based implementation uses a EUI-64 constructed from a EUI-48. This works by taking the first 3 bytes of the MAC address of the NIC being used for PTP (the OUI), then inserting 0xFF, 0xFE, then taking the last 3 bytes of the MAC address giving MAC[0], MAC[1], MAC[2], 0xFF, 0xFE, MAC[3], MAC[4], MAC[5] The current MC firmware and driver discard the first two bytes of this UUID and packets are matched against timestamps using bytes 2 to 7 so there is a small risk that in a deployment of Solarflare PTP NICs used with other vendors NICs, that a PTP packet could be matched against the wrong timestamp. This applies to all other organisations whose third byte of the OUI is 0x53. It's a long list but I notice that it includes Cisco. The necessary modifications to use bytes 0-2 and 5-7 of the UUID to match against are quite small but introduce incompatibility between older version of the firmware and driver. When PTP is enabled via SO_TIMESTAMPING specifying PTP V2, the driver will try to enable PTP in the firmware using the enhanced mode (above). If the firmware returns an error, the driver will enable PTP in the firmware using the old mode.

RX DMA buffers start at an offset of EFX_PAGE_IP_ALIGN bytes from the start of a cache line. This offset obviously needs to be included in the virtual address, but this was missed in commit b590ace0 ('sfc: Fix efx_rx_buf_offset() in the presence of swiotlb') since EFX_PAGE_IP_ALIGN is equal to 0 on both x86 and powerpc.

efx_device_detach_sync() locks all TX queues before marking the device detached and thus disabling further TX scheduling. But it can still be interrupted by TX completions which then result in TX scheduling in soft interrupt context. This will deadlock when it tries to acquire a TX queue lock that efx_device_detach_sync() already acquired. To avoid deadlock, we must use netif_tx_{,un}lock_bh().
