1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-05-13
This series contains updates to e1000e, igb and igbvf.
Steve Shih fixes an issue for disabling auto-negotiation and forcing
speed and duplex settings for non-copper media.
Brian Walsh cleanups some inconsistency in the use of return variables
names to avoid confusion.
Jake cleans up the drivers to use the BIT() macro when it can, which will
future proof the drivers for GCC 6 when it gets released. Cleaned up
dead code which was never being used. Also fixed e1000e, where it was
incorrectly restting the SYSTIM registers every time the ioctl was being
run.
Denys Vlasenko fixes an oversight where incvalue variable holds a 32
bit value so we should declare it as such, instead of 64 bits. Also
fixed an overflow check, where two reads are the same, then it is not
an overflow.
Nathan Sullivan fixes the PTP timestamps for transmit and receive
latency based on the current link speed.
Alexander Duyck adds support for partial GSO segmentation in the case
of tunnels for igb and igbvf.

The e1000e_config_hwtstamp function was incorrectly resetting the SYSTIM
registers every time the ioctl was being run. If you happened to be
running ptp4l and lost the PTP connect (removing cable, or blocking the
UDP traffic for example), then ptp4l will eventually perform a restart
which involves re-requesting timestamp settings. In e1000e this has the
unfortunate and incorrect result of resetting SYSTIME to the kernel
time. Since kernel time is usually in UTC, and PTP time is in TAI, this
results in the leap second being re-applied.
Fix this by extracting the SYSTIME reset out into its own function,
e1000e_ptp_reset, which we call during reset to restore the hardware
registers. This function will (a) restart the timecounter based on the
new system time, (b) restore the previous PPB setting, and (c) restore
the previous hwtstamp settings.
In order to perform (b), I had to modify the adjfreq ptp function
pointer to store the old delta each time it is called. This also has the
side effect of restoring the correct base timinca register correctly.
The driver does not need to explicitly zero the ptp_delta variable since
the entire adapter structure comes zero-initialized.

This patch adds support for partial GSO segmentation in the case of
tunnels. Specifically with this change the driver an perform segmentation
as long as the frame either has IPv6 inner headers, or we are allowed to
mangle the IP IDs on the inner header. This is needed because we will not
be modifying any fields from the start of the start of the outer transport
header to the start of the inner transport header as we are treating them
like they are just a block of IP options.

SYSTIMH:SYSTIML registers are incremented by 24-bit value TIMINCA[23..0]
er32(SYSTIML) are probably moderately expensive (they are pci bus reads).
Can we avoid one of them? Yes, we can.
If the SYSTIML value we see is smaller than 0xff000000, the overflow
into SYSTIMH would require at least two increments.
We do two reads, er32(SYSTIML) and er32(SYSTIMH), in this order.
Even if one increment happens between them, the overflow into SYSTIMH
is impossible, and we can avoid doing another er32(SYSTIML) read
and overflow check.

If two consecutive reads of the counter are the same, it is also
not an overflow. "systimel_1 < systimel_2" should be
"systimel_1 <= systimel_2".
Before the patch, we could perform an *erroneous* correction:
Let's say that systimel_1 == systimel_2 == 0xffffffff.
"systimel_1 < systimel_2" is false, we think it's an overflow,
we read "systimeh = er32(SYSTIMH)" which meanwhile had incremented,
and use "(systimeh << 32) + systimel_2" value which is 2^32 too large.

This patch fixes the issues for disabling auto-negotiation and forcing
speed and duplex settings for the non-copper media.
For non-copper media, e1000_get_settings should return ETH_TP_MDI_INVALID for
eth_tp_mdix_ctrl instead of ETH_TP_MDI_AUTO so subsequent e1000_set_settings
call would not fail with -EOPNOTSUPP.
e1000_set_spd_dplx should not automatically turn autoneg back on for forced
1000 Mbps full duplex settings for non-copper media.

The following trace is seen when receiving a DHCP request over a flow-based
VXLAN tunnel. I believe this is caused by the metadata dst having a NULL
dev value and as a result dev_net(dev) is causing a NULL pointer dereference.
To resolve this I am replacing the check for skb_dst(skb)->dev with just
skb->dev. This makes sense as the callers of this function are usually in
the receive path and as such skb->dev should always be populated. In
addition other functions in the area where these are called are already
using dev_net(skb->dev) to determine the namespace the UDP packet belongs
in.

sunrpc is using SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE without setting SOCK_FASYNC,
so the recent optimizations done in sk_set_bit() and sk_clear_bit()

There is still the risk that a subsequent sock_fasync() call

When an ACTIVATE or data packet is received in a link in state
ESTABLISHING, the link does not immediately change state to
ESTABLISHED, but does instead return a LINK_UP event to the caller,
which will execute the state change in a different lock context.
This non-atomic approach incurs a low risk that we may have two
LINK_UP events pending simultaneously for the same link, resulting
in the final part of the setup procedure being executed twice. The
only potential harm caused by this it that we may see two LINK_UP
events issued to subsribers of the topology server, something that
may cause confusion.
This commit eliminates this risk by checking if the link is already
up before proceeding with the second half of the setup.

When using RSS, frames might not be processed in the correct order,
and thus AP_LINK_PS must be used; most likely with firmware keeping
track of the powersave state, this is the case in iwlwifi now.
In this case, the driver can use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to
still have mac80211 manage powersave buffering. However, for U-APSD
and PS-Poll this isn't sufficient. If the device can't manage that
entirely on its own, mac80211's code should be used.
To allow this, export two functions: ieee80211_sta_uapsd_trigger()
and ieee80211_sta_pspoll().

qed*: Add SR-IOV support
This patch adds SR-IOV support to qed/qede drivers, adding a new PCI
device ID for a VF that is shared between all the various PFs that
support IOV.
This is quite a massive series - the first 7 parts of the series add
the infrastructure of supporting vfs in qed - mainly adding support in a
HW-based vf<->pf channel, as well as diverging all existing configuration
flows based on the pf/vf decision. I.e., while PF-originated requests
head directly to HW/FW, the VF requests first have to traverse to the PF
which will perform the configuration.
The 8th patch is the one that adds the support for the VF device in qede.
The remaining 6 patches each adds some user-based API support related to
VFs that can be used over the PF - forcing mac/vlan, changing speed, etc.
Dave,
Sorry in advance for the length of the series. Most of the bulk here is in
the infrastructure patches that have to go together [or at least, it makes
little sense to try splitting them up].
Please consider applying this to `net-next'.
Thanks,
Yuval
Changes from previous revision:
------------------------------
- V2 - Replace aligned_u64 with regular u64; This was possible as the
shared structures [between PF and VF] were already sufficiently
padded as-is in the API, making this redundant.

As the VF infrastructure is supposed to offer backward/forward
compatibility, the various types associated with VF<->PF communication
should be aligned across all various platforms that support IOV
on our family of adapters.
This adds a couple of currently missing values, specifically aligning
the enum for the various TLVs possible in the communication between them.
It then adds the PF implementation for some of those missing VF requests.
This support isn't really necessary for the Linux VF as those VFs aren't
requiring it [at least today], but are required by VFs running on other
OSes. LRO is an example of one such configuration.

Up to this point, VF and PF communication always originates from VF.
As a result, VF cannot be notified of any async changes, and specifically
cannot be informed of the current link state.
This introduces the bulletin board, the mechanism through which the PF
is going to communicate async notifications back to the VF. basically,
it's a well-defined structure agreed by both PF and VF which the VF would
continuously poll and into which the PF would DMA messages when needed.
[Bulletin board is actually allocated and communicated in previous patches
but never before used]
Based on the bulletin infrastructure, the VF can query its link status
and receive said async carrier changes.

This adds the qed VFs for the first time -
The vfs are limited functions, with a very different PCI bar structure
[when compared with PFs] to better impose the related security demands
associated with them.
This patch includes the logic neccesary to allow VFs to successfully probe
[without actually adding the ability to enable iov].
This includes diverging all the flows that would occur as part of the pci
probe of the driver, preventing VF from accessing registers/memories it
can't and instead utilize the VF->PF channel to query the PF for needed
information.

Communication between VF and PF is based on a dedicated HW channel;
VF will prepare a messge, and by signaling the HW the PF would get a
notification of that message existance. The PF would then copy the
message, process it and DMA an answer back to the VF as a response.
The messages themselves are TLV-based - allowing easier backward/forward
compatibility.
This patch adds the infrastructure of the channel on the PF side -
starting with the arrival of the notification and ending with DMAing
the response back to the VF.
It also adds a dummy-response as reference, as it only lays the
groundwork of the communication; it doesn't really add support of any
actual messages.

Add support for a new Kconfig option for qed* driver which would allow
[eventually] the support in VFs.
This patch adds the necessary logic in the PF to learn about the possible
VFs it will have to support [Based on PCI configuration space and HW],
and prepare a database with an entry per-VF as infrastructure for future
interaction with said VFs.

NFC 4.7 pull request
This is the first NFC pull request for 4.7. With this one we
mainly have:
- Support for NXP's pn532 NFC chipset. The pn532 is based on the same
microcontroller as the pn533, but it talks to the host through i2c
instead of USB. By separating the pn533 driver into core and PHY
parts, we can not add the i2c layer and support the pn532 chipset.
- Support for NCI's loopback mode. This is a testing mode where each
packet received by the NFCC is sent back to the DH, allowing the
host to test that the controller can receive and send data.
- A few ACPI related fixes for the STMicro drivers, in order to match
the device tree naming scheme.
- A bunch of cleanups for the st-nci and the st21nfca STMicro drivers.

Mellanox 100G mlx5 CQE compression
Introducing ConnectX-4 CQE (Completion Queue Entry) compression feature
for mlx5 etherent driver.
CQE Compressing reduces PCI overhead by coalescing and compressing multiple CQEs into a
single merged CQE. Successful compressing improves message rate especially for small packet
traffic.
CQE Compressing in details:
Instead of writing full CQEs to memory, multiple almost identical CQEs are merged and compressed.
Information that is shared between the CQEs is written once, regardless of the number of
compressed CQEs. In addition, only the unique information (small amount of bytes compared to
full CQE size) is written per CQE.
CQE Compression Block:
This block contains multiple compressed CQEs. CQE Compression Block contains a single copy
of CQEs properties which are shared between all the compressed CQEs (called Title, see below)
and multiple mini CQEs (CQEs in compressed form).
Title:
The Title holds information which is shared between all the compressed CQEs in the CQE Compression
Block. In each Compression Block there is only a single Title regardless of the number
of compressed CQEs.
Mini CQE:
A CQE in compressed form that holds some data needed to extract a single full CQE, for example
8 Bytes instead of 64 Bytes.
The shared information between all compressed CQEs, which belong to the same CQE Compression
Block called Title, is written once, and only the unique information in each compressed
CQE, for example 8 bytes, is written per compressed CQE, called mini CQE.
Since CQE Compression can add overhead to the software (CPU),
it will be only enabled on "weak/slow" PCI slots, where it can actually help.

We turn the feature ON, only for servers with PCI BW < MAX LINK BW, as it
helps reducing PCI pressure on weak PCI slots, but it adds some software
overhead.

Make the MPWQE/Striding RQ default configuration dynamic and not
statically set at compile time. Now at driver load we set
stride size and num strides dynamically.
By default we use same values as before, but when CQE compression
is enabled, we set larger stride size to benefit from CQE
compression for larger packets.

CQE compression feature is meant to save PCIe bandwidth by
compressing few CQEs into smaller amount of bytes on PCIe.
CQE compression can be selectively enabled per CQ. By default
is disabled for now and will be enabled later on.
