The use of dropped doesn't really mean dropped mailbox messages, but rather specifically messages which were too large to fit in the remote Rx FIFO. Rename the stat to more clearly indicate what it means. Signed-off-by:

When the PF receives a request to update a multicast address for the VF, it checks the enabled multicast mode first. Fix a bug where the VF tried to set a multicast address before requesting the required xcast mode. This ensures the multicast addresses are honored as long as the xcast mode was allowed.

Since the service task handles varying work that doesn't all require the interface to be up, launch the service timer immediately. This ensures that we continually check the mailbox, as well as handle other tasks while the device is down. Signed-off-by:

The header comment included a miscopy of a C-code line, and also mis-used Rx FIFO when it clearly meant Tx FIFO Signed-off-by:

Add a header comment explaining why we have the somewhat crazy mailbox flow. This flow is necessary as it prevents the PF<->SM mailbox from being flooded by the VF messages, which normally trigger a message to the PF. This helps prevent the case where we see a PF mailbox timeout. Signed-off-by:

Jeff Kirsher authored
Since we already schedule the service task, we can just wait for this task to handle the mailbox events from the VF. This reduces some complex code flow, and makes it so we have a single path for handling the VF messages. There is a possibility that we have a slight delay in handling VF messages, but it should be minimal. The result of tx_complete and !rx_ready is insufficient to determine whether we need to process the mailbox. There is a possible race condition whereby the VF fills up the mbmem for us, but we have already recently processed the mailboxes in the interrupt. During this time, the interrupt is disabled. Thus, our Rx FIFO is empty, but the mbmem now has data in it. Since we continually check whether Rx FIFO is empty, we then never call process. This results in the possibility to prevent PF from handling the VF mailbox messages. Instead, just call process every time, despite the fact that we may or may not have anything to process for the VF. There should be minimal overhead for doing this, and it resolves an issue where the VF never comes up due to never getting response for its SET_LPORT_STATE message. Signed-off-by:

Since we run the watchdog periodically, which might take a while and potentially monopolize the system default workqueue, create our own separate work queue. This also helps reduce and stabilize latency between scheduling the work in our interrupt and actually performing the work. Still use a timer for the regular scheduled interval but queue the work onto its own work queue. It seemed overkill to create a single workqueue per interface, so we just spawn a single work queue for all interfaces upon driver load. For this reason, use a multi-threaded workqueue with one thread per processor, rather than single threaded queue. Signed-off-by:

Named it tx_hang_count to differentiate it from tx_hwtstamp_timeout. Signed-off-by:
-
Jeff Kirsher authored
We were incrementing the tx_timeout_count for both the Tx hang and then for all reset flows. Instead, we should only increment tx_timeout_count in the Tx hang path, so that our Tx hang counter does not increment when it was not caused by a Tx hang. Signed-off-by:
-
Jeff Kirsher authored
Since we already print this message when a reset is requested via the RESET_REQUESTED flag, we do not need to print it before setting the flag. Signed-off-by:

This patch resolves an issue with ethtool stats displaying useless values on the VF, because some stats simply have no meaning to the VF. Resolve this by splitting these out into PF_STATS and only showing them if we aren't the VF. Signed-off-by:
-
Jeff Kirsher authored
Even though it shouldn't strictly matter, don't count queue stats higher than the max_queues value stored for this mac. This ensures that we don't attempt to check queues which don't belong to use in VFs. This shouldn't be a visible change, as the VFs should see zero for queues which don't belong to them. Signed-off-by:
-
Jeff Kirsher authored
Currently, we show statistics for all 128 queues, even though we don't necessarily have that many queues available especially in the VF case. Instead, use the hw->mac.max_queues value, which tells us how many queues we actually have, rather than the space for the rings we allocated. In this way, we prevent dumping statistics that are useless on the VF. Signed-off-by:

The function collecting Tx statistics was actually using values from the RX ring. Thus, Tx and Rx statistics values reported by "ifconfig" will return identical values. This change corrects this error and the Tx statistics is now reading from the Tx ring. Signed-off-by:

The ring size is always known at compile time, so make the code a bit more efficient Signed-off-by:

The driver needs to inform the hardware about the first invalid (not yet filled) rx slot, by writing its DMA descriptor pointer offset to the BGMAC_DMA_RX_INDEX register. This register was set to a value exceeding the rx ring size, effectively allowing the hardware constant access to the full ring, regardless of which slots are initialized. To fix this issue, always mark the last filled rx slot as invalid. Signed-off-by:

Limiting it to 511 looks like a failed attempt at leaving one descriptor empty to allow the hardware to stop processing a buffer that has not been prepared yet. However, this doesn't work because this affects the total ring size as well Signed-off-by:

Always poll rx and tx during NAPI poll instead of relying on the status of the first interrupt. This prevents bgmac_poll from leaving unfinished work around until the next IRQ. In my tests this makes bridging/routing throughput under heavy load more stable and ensures that no new IRQs arrive as long as bgmac_poll uses up the entire budget. Signed-off-by:

Keep incrementing ring->start and ring->end instead of pointing it to the actual ring slot entry. This simplifies the calculation of the number of free slots. Signed-off-by:

If remaining space in a send buffer slot is too small for the whole message, we only copy the RNDIS header and PPI data into send buffer, so we can batch one more packet each time. It reduces the vmbus per-message overhead. Signed-off-by:

Al Viro says: ==================== netdev-related stuff in vfs.git There are several commits sitting in vfs.git that probably ought to go in via net-next.git. First of all, there's merge with vfs.git#iocb - that's Christoph's aio rework, which has triggered conflicts with the ->sendmsg() and ->recvmsg() patches a while ago. It's not so much Christoph's stuff that ought to be in net-next, as (pretty simple) conflict resolution on merge. The next chunk is switch to {compat_,}import_iovec/import_single_range - new safer primitives for initializing iov_iter. The primitives themselves come from vfs/git#iov_iter (and they are used quite a lot in vfs part of queue), conversion of net/socket.c syscalls belongs in net-next, IMO. Next there's afs and rxrpc stuff from dhowells. And then there's sanitizing kernel_sendmsg et.al. + missing inlined helper for "how much data is left in msg->msg_iter" - this stuff is used in e.g. cifs stuff, but it belongs in net-next. That pile is pullable from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git for-davem I'll post the individual patches in there in followups; could you take a look and tell if everything in there is OK with you? ==================== Signed-off-by:
