Abstract some of the channel operations to allow for 'extra' channels that do not have RX or TX queues. - Try to assign a channel to each extra channel type that is enabled for the NIC, but gracefully degrade if we can't allocate sufficient MSI-X vectors - Allow each extra channel type to generate its own channel name - Allow channel types to disable reallocation and reinitialisation of their channels Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

The TX DMA engine issues upstream read requests when there is room in the TX FIFO for the completion. However, the fetches for the rest of the packet might be delayed by any back pressure. Since a flush must wait for an EOP, the entire flush may be delayed by back pressure. Mitigate this by disabling flow control before the flushes are started. Since PF and VF flushes run in parallel introduce fc_disable, a reference count of the number of flushes outstanding. The same principle could be applied to Falcon, but that would bring with it its own testing. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

For SR-IOV we will need to send events to event queues that belong to VFs serviced by other drivers. Change the parameters of efx_generate_event() to allow this and declare it extern. While we're at it, remove the existing declaration under the wrong name efx_nic_generate_event(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

When SR-IOV is enabled we may receive FLR (Function-Level Reset) events, associated queue flush events and requests from VF drivers at any time. Therefore we need to keep event queues and interrupts enabled whenever possible. Currently we stop interrupt-driven event processing before flushing RX and TX queues; efx_nic_flush_queues() then polls event queues for flush events and discards any others it finds. Change it to work with the regular event handling functions. Currently efx_start_channel() fills RX queues synchronously when a device is brought up. This could now race with NAPI, so change it to send fill events. This was almost entirely written by Steve Hodgson, formerly shodgson@solarflare.com.

The RMFT_DEST_MAC and TMFT_SRC_MAC register fields were previously documented as 44 bits wide, whereas a MAC address has 48 bits. Thankfully the hardware uses the correct width and the driver has used separate definitions that divide each of these into 32-bit and 16-bit fields. Fix the initial definitions for these fields and rewrite the latter definitions to use them. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

On Siena each TX queue can be configured to send only packets for which there is a TX MAC filter that matches the source MAC address, queue ID, and optionally VID. This will be used to implement the 'spoofchk' feature for SR-IOV virtual functions. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

On Siena all received packets that don't match a more specific filter will match the unicast or multicast default filter. Currently we leave these set to the default values (RSS with base queue number of 0). Allow them to be reconfigured to select a single RX queue. These default filters are programmed through the FILTER_CTL register, but we represent them internally as an additional table of size 2. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

The 'page size' for PCIe DMA, i.e. the alignment of boundaries at which DMA must be broken, is 4KB. Name this value as EFX_PAGE_SIZE and use it in efx_max_tx_len(). Redefine EFX_BUF_SIZE as EFX_PAGE_SIZE since its value is also a result of that requirement, and use it in efx_init_special_buffer(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

If efx_pci_probe_main() schedules an INVISIBLE or ALL reset (but nothing more drastic), we retry it up to 5 times. So far as I'm aware, this was a workaround for bugs in Falcon A0 which were fixed in production silicon. Remove the retry. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

The code in efx_process_channel() to update the RX queue after each batch of RX completions works out as a no-op on a TX-only channel where the RX queue structure is set to all-zeroes, but (1) efx_channel_get_rx_queue() will BUG() if DEBUG is defined, and (2) it's a waste of time.

The qdisc supports two operations - plug and unplug. When the qdisc receives a plug command via netlink request, packets arriving henceforth are buffered until a corresponding unplug command is received. Depending on the type of unplug command, the queue can be unplugged indefinitely or selectively. This qdisc can be used to implement output buffering, an essential functionality required for consistent recovery in checkpoint based fault-tolerance systems. Output buffering enables speculative execution by allowing generated network traffic to be rolled back. It is used to provide network protection for Xen Guests in the Remus high availability project, available as part of Xen. This module is generic enough to be used by any other system that wishes to add speculative execution and output buffering to its applications. This module was originally available in the linux 2.6.32 PV-OPS tree, used as dom0 for Xen. For more information, please refer to http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/ and http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Remus Changes in V3: * Removed debug output (printk) on queue overflow * Added TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE - that allows the user to use this qdisc, for simple plug/unplug operations. * Use of packet counts instead of pointers to keep track of the buffers in the queue.

The existing ITR code is broken and confusing, with lots of similarly-named variables that do different things. Additionally, after the driver carefully determines the optimal interrupt rate for the adapter, it then ignores it and always writes a fixed, suboptimal value. This patch refactors that code to make variable names more descriptive of what they actually do, and then actually writes the calculated result to the hardware. Preliminary testing shows that netperf TCP_STREAM tests goes from ~918Mbps to ~940Mbps, and TCP_RR goes from ~2k transactions/sec up to > 8k.

Removes code that alters the publication key of a name table entry that is being forcibly purged from TIPC's name table after contact with the publishing node has been lost. Current TIPC ensures that all defunct names are purged before re-establishing contact with a failed node. There used to be a risk that the publication might be accidentally deleted because it might be re-added to the name table before the purge operation was completed. But now there is no longer a need to ensure that the new key is different than the old one.

Modifies broadcast link so that an incoming fragmented message is not lost if reassembly cannot begin because there currently is no buffer big enough to hold the entire reassembled message. The broadcast link now ignores the first fragment completely, which causes the sending node to retransmit the first fragment so that reassembly can be re-attempted. Previously, the sender would have had no reason to retransmit the 1st fragment, so we would never have a chance to re-try the allocation. To do this cleanly without duplicaton, a new bclink_accept_pkt() function is introduced.

Completely redesigns broadcast link ACK and NACK mechanisms to prevent spurious retransmit requests in dual LAN networks, and to prevent the broadcast link from stalling due to the failure of a receiving node to acknowledge receiving a broadcast message or request its retransmission. Note: These changes only impact the timing of when ACK and NACK messages are sent, and not the basic broadcast link protocol itself, so inter- operability with nodes using the "classic" algorithms is maintained. The revised algorithms are as follows: 1) An explicit ACK message is still sent after receiving 16 in-sequence messages, and implicit ACK information continues to be carried in other unicast link message headers (including link state messages). However, the timing of explicit ACKs is now based on the receiving node's absolute network address rather than its relative network address to ensure that the failure of another node does not delay the ACK beyond its 16 message target. 2) A NACK message is now typically sent only when a message gap persists for two consecutive incoming link state messages; this ensures that a suspected gap is not confirmed until both LANs in a dual LAN network have had an opportunity to deliver the message, thereby preventing spurious NACKs. A NACK message can also be generated by the arrival of a single link state message, if the deferred queue is so big that the current message gap cannot be the result of "normal" mis-ordering due to the use of dual LANs (or one LAN using a bonded interface). Since link state messages typically arrive at different nodes at different times the problem of multiple nodes issuing identical NACKs simultaneously is inherently avoided. 3) Nodes continue to "peek" at NACK messages sent by other nodes. If another node requests retransmission of a message gap suspected (but not yet confirmed) by the peeking node, the peeking node forgets about the gap and does not generate a duplicate retransmit request. (If the peeking node subsequently fails to receive the lost message, later link state messages will cause it to rediscover and confirm the gap and send another NACK.) 4) Message gap "equality" is now determined by the start of the gap only. This is sufficient to deal with the most common cases of message loss, and eliminates the need for complex end of gap computations. 5) A peeking node no longer tries to determine whether it should send a complementary NACK, since the most common cases of message loss don't require it to be sent. Consequently, the node no longer examines the "broadcast tag" field of a NACK message when peeking.
