Introduce the feature of multi-packet WQE (RX Work Queue Element) referred to as (MPWQE or Striding RQ), in which WQEs are larger and serve multiple packets each. Every WQE consists of many strides of the same size, every received packet is aligned to a beginning of a stride and is written to consecutive strides within a WQE. In the regular approach, each regular WQE is big enough to be capable of serving one received packet of any size up to MTU or 64K in case of device LRO is enabled, making it very wasteful when dealing with small packets or device LRO is enabled. For its flexibility, MPWQE allows a better memory utilization (implying improvements in CPU utilization and packet rate) as packets consume strides according to their size, preserving the rest of the WQE to be available for other packets. MPWQE default configuration: Num of WQEs = 16 Strides Per WQE = 2048 Stride Size = 64 byte The default WQEs memory footprint went from 1024*mtu (~1.5MB) to 16 * 2048 * 64 = 2MB per ring. However, HW LRO can now be supported at no additional cost in memory footprint, and hence we turn it on by default and get an even better performance. Performance tested on ConnectX4-Lx 50G. To isolate the feature under test, the numbers below were measured with HW LRO turned off. We verified that the performance just improves when LRO is turned back on. * Netperf single TCP stream: - BW raised by 10-15% for representative packet sizes: default, 64B, 1024B, 1478B, 65536B. * Netperf multi TCP stream: - No degradation, line rate reached. * Pktgen: packet rate raised by 2-10% for traffic of different message sizes: 64B, 128B, 256B, 1024B, and 1500B. * Pktgen: packet loss in bursts of small messages (64byte), single stream: - | num packets | packets loss before | packets loss after | 2K | ~ 1K | 0 | 8K | ~ 6K | 0 | 16K | ~13K | 0 | 32K | ~28K | 0 | 64K | ~57K | ~24K As expected as the driver can receive as many small packets (<=64B) as the number of total strides in the ring (default = 2048 * 16) vs. 1024 (default ring size regardless of packets size) before this feature.

A queue counter can collect several statistics for one or more hardware queues (QPs, RQs, etc ..) that the counter is attached to. For Ethernet it will provide an "out of buffer" counter which collects the number of all packets that are dropped due to lack of software buffers. Here we add device commands to alloc/query/dealloc queue counters.

Note that this series was only tested on x86 by tweeking CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS and adding some traces. The first patch adds helpers for 64bit alignment and other patches use them. We could also add helpers for nla_put_u64() and its variants if needed. v1 -> v2: - remove patch #1 - split patch #2 (now #1 and #2) - add nla_need_padding_for_64bit() ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-04-20 This series contains updates to fm10k only. Jacob provides majority of the changes in this series, starting with the addition of helper functions to reduce code duplication and the amount of code indentation. Fixed the use or should we say abuse of the ethtool stats API, which could result in corrupt memory or misleading statistic output. Added the appropriate rtnl_lock() and rtnl_unlock() to avoid RCU warnings during AER events. Come to find out, the PTP/1588 support is not working with the current version of switch management software and possibly never worked, so just remove support for PTP/1588 for now. Fixed how error responses from the switch manager after a LPORT_MAP request are handled, originally which were silently being ignored. Fixed up code documentation to hopefully ease the code and comment comprehension. Fixed a possible NULL pointer dereference after a kcalloc(), where when writing a new default redirection table, and we needed to populate a new RSS table using ethtool_rxfh_indir_default(). We populate this table into a region of memory allocated using kcalloc() but never check it for NULL. Alex adds support for bulk transmit cleanup for fm10k, like he did for all of our other drivers. Ngai-Mint fixes a number of issues with the unicast and multicast address syncs. Where an issue would occur when the netdev is pre-configured to either multicast mode and is enabled for the first time. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The diagram represents bit layout of the multi-bit VLAN update message format. Typically these diagrams are drawn using some power of 2 as the base, to more easily grasp where fields split. Although the numbers above can make it somewhat easy to understand which bit you're looking at, it makes the break points not line up. Re-draw the numbers using base 8, and mark the bit values every 8 bits at the top. This should make it more easy to grasp the table quickly.

fm10k_tlv_parse_attr is supposed to return FM10K_NOT_IMPLEMENTED for any TLV who's attribute id lies outside the range of results. It does not do this today. In addition, the documentation does not indicate that other attributes which are not implemented for a given TLV will be silently ignored. Fix this. Clean up the logic so that we don't rely on the fact that FM10K_NOT_IMPLEMENTED is greater than zero, as this can easily cause confusion. A future extension could look into some way of reporting unknown TLVs in order to make issues more easily discoverable. We can't just return FM10K_NOT_IMPLEMENTED here because we don't want to drop the entire message if it has an unknown TLV. While here, update the copyright year.

fm10k_io_error_detected() does not need to call pci_disable_device(). In the cases where the reset needs to occur, the stack flow will result in calling fm10k_remove() which already disables the PCI device. If we leave the pci_disable_device(), we result in a warning about disabling an already disabled device. Many PCI drivers do call pci_disable_device() in their .error_detected() routines, but it does not appear to be required. In addition, these drivers have a check "is_pci_enabled()" call in their remove routines, which is how they chose to handle the duplicate device disable. This seems incorrect, since the PCI device structure is reference counted. It is very possible that the reference count for the PCI device could be greater than 1. In this case, you would remove the PCI device within the error_detected routine, reducing count to 1, then remove it again in the remove function, reducing it to zero. This would result in yet another disable somewhere else failing. Thus, we shouldn't be using is_pci_enabled() to check for this issue. Instead, just remove the extraneous pci_device_disable() found within the error_detected routine.

Currently, any error responses from the switch manager after an LPORT_MAP request are silently ignored. At most the mailbox message will be reported as an error. This can result in unexpected behavior when the switch manager has configured a port with zero bandwidth. Add support for reading the fm10k_swapi_error structure from LPORT_MAP responses. If the message contains the necessary TLV and has a non-zero error code, report link down, clear the dglort_map, and delay the next get_host_state call by a reasonable delay. Also log an error message indicating that the LPORT_MAP request failed. The delay ensures preventing an interrupt storm on the switch manager, and reduces the number of mailbox messages we send in this scenario drastically.

Ngai-Mint Kwan authored
Multicast mode checking is no longer a requirement to perform unicast and multicast address syncs. Specifically, a device operating in promiscuous and/or all multicast mode is not excluded. The issue occurs when the netdev is pre-configured to either multicast mode and is enabled for the first time. The multicast-group table in the Switch Manager will be missing obvious multicast entries associated to this netdev. Changes were also made to disallow unicast and multicast syncs with VLAN 0. The Switch Manager considers VLAN 0 to be an invalid entry. Requests with VLAN 0 by the netdev are only generated when the driver is freshly installed and the default VID is not set.

During an AER action response, we were calling fm10k_close without holding the rtnl_lock() which could lead to possible RCU warnings being produced due to 64bit stat updates among other causes. Similarly, we need rtnl_lock() around fm10k_open during fm10k_io_resume. Follow the same pattern elsewhere in the driver and protect the entire open/close sequence.

This change fixes an (ab)use of the ethtool stats API, which could result in corrupt memory or misleading stat output. The ethtool stats API is not robust enough to handle varying number of statistics due to how it requests the size and allocates memory.

This patch adds a new RTM_GETSTATS message to query link stats via netlink from the kernel. RTM_NEWLINK also dumps stats today, but RTM_NEWLINK returns a lot more than just stats and is expensive in some cases when frequent polling for stats from userspace is a common operation. RTM_GETSTATS is an attempt to provide a light weight netlink message to explicity query only link stats from the kernel on an interface. The idea is to also keep it extensible so that new kinds of stats can be added to it in the future. This patch adds the following attribute for NETDEV stats: struct nla_policy ifla_stats_policy[IFLA_STATS_MAX + 1] = { [IFLA_STATS_LINK_64] = { .len = sizeof(struct rtnl_link_stats64) }, }; Like any other rtnetlink message, RTM_GETSTATS can be used to get stats of a single interface or all interfaces with NLM_F_DUMP. Future possible new types of stat attributes: link af stats: - IFLA_STATS_LINK_IPV6 (nested. for ipv6 stats) - IFLA_STATS_LINK_MPLS (nested. for mpls/mdev stats) extended stats: - IFLA_STATS_LINK_EXTENDED (nested. extended software netdev stats like bridge, vlan, vxlan etc) - IFLA_STATS_LINK_HW_EXTENDED (nested. extended hardware stats which are available via ethtool today) This patch also declares a filter mask for all stat attributes. User has to provide a mask of stats attributes to query. filter mask can be specified in the new hdr 'struct if_stats_msg' for stats messages. Other important field in the header is the ifindex. This api can also include attributes for global stats (eg tcp) in the future. When global stats are included in a stats msg, the ifindex in the header must be zero. A single stats message cannot contain both global and netdev specific stats. To easily distinguish them, netdev specific stat attributes name are prefixed with IFLA_STATS_LINK_ Without any attributes in the filter_mask, no stats will be returned. This patch has been tested with mofified iproute2 ifstat. Suggested-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
