1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-12-12
This series contains updates to e1000, e1000e and igb.
Joern Engel fixes up the e1000 driver to reduce scheduler latencies by
making the eeprom read/write functions scheduler friendly by using a mutex
lock instead of a spin lock.
Todd adds code for igb to initialize the 88E1543 PHY properly. Then fixed
igb to use the correct i210 register for EEMNGCTL, since the i210 has two
EEPROM access registers (EEARBC and EEMNGCTL).
Dmitry Vyukov provides a fix for e1000 to resolve a data race found with
KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN), where no memory barriers were being used
when buffers get recycled, so the recycled buffers can be corrupted. So
use smp_store_release() to update tx_ring->next_to_clean and
smp_load_acquire() to read tx_ring->next_to_clean to properly hand off
buffers from e1000_clean_tx_irq() to e1000_xmit_frame().
Jarod Wilson fixes igb so that we do not try to unmap a NULL hw_addr. Then
cleaned up array_rd32() so that it uses igb_rd32() the same as rd32() and
use io_addr() in more places so that we do not have to call E1000_REMOVED().
Janusz Wolak cleans up the e1000 driver by correcting warnings produced
by checkpatch.pl for the driver.
Jean Sacren provides several patches with general cleanups for e1000 and
e1000e, which include code comment fix-ups and cleanup of local variables
not needed.
Dmitry Fleytman fixes a possible division by zero in the receive interrupt
handler for e1000e when working without adaptive interrupt moderation,
which is typically disabled on jumbo MTUs.
Raanan increases the timeout of the polling bit due to timing changes to
the ME firmware on a platform, so increase the timeout to 300ms. Added
initial support for i219-LM, which is a LOM that will be available on
systems with the Lewisburg Platform Controller HUB (PCH) chipset.
Jan Beulich fixes a NULL dereference in igb, due to the adapter->vf _data
being NULL while adapter->vfs_allocated_count is non-zero.

40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-12-12
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.
Jesse fixes some trivial static analyzer warnings where BIT() can be used
instead of BIT_ULL().
Mitch fixes the virtual channel interface which was using incorrect semantics
to remove MAC addresses and would leave incorrect filters active when using
VLANs. Also fixes an issue that when VF's are created, the MAC address
defaults to all zeros, indicating to the VF driver that it should use a
random MAC address. However, the PF driver was incorrectly adding this
zero MAC to the filter table, so check for a good address before adding
the default filter. Adds a check to make sure that the Tx and Rx rings
actually exist before dereferencing them to free resources. Re-classifies
several messages which are really for debugging purposes, especially since
the driver can fully recover from any of these. Fixed up the VF version
strings to match the PF driver.
Anjali adds a virtchnl offload to support the expanded version of TCP/UDP
PCTYPES for RSS.
Shannon fixes i40e to clean the whole MAC filter list when resetting after
an intermediate add or delete push to the firmware.

The combined effect of commits 6423fc3416 ("igb: do not re-init SR-IOV
during probe") and ceee3450b3 ("igb: make sure SR-IOV init uses the
right number of queues") causes VFs no longer getting set up, leading
to NULL pointer dereferences due to the adapter's ->vf_data being NULL
while ->vfs_allocated_count is non-zero. The first commit not only
neglected the side effect of igb_sriov_reinit() that the second commit
tried to account for, but also that of setting IGB_FLAG_HAS_MSIX,
without which igb_enable_sriov() is effectively a no-op. Calling
igb_{,re}set_interrupt_capability() as done here seems to address this,
but I'm not sure whether this is better than sinply reverting the other

10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-12-12
This series contains updates to ixgbe only.
Alex Duyck provides almost off of the changes in this series. First, add a
check to make sure mac_table was actually allocated and is not NULL to
ensure we do not get a NULL pointer dereference further down the line.
Fixed SR-IOV VLAN pool configuration since the code for checking the PF bit
in ixgbe_set_vf_vlan_msg() was using the wrong offset. Cleanup/simplify
the logic for setting the VFTA register by removing the number of
conditional checks needed. Fixed a number of issues within the VLVF and
VLFB configuration by simplifying the code. Added support for bypassing
the VLVF entry creation when the PF is adding a new VLAN. Reduced the
complexity of the search function used for finding a VLVF entry associated
with a given VLAN ID. Added support for VLAN promiscuous with SR-IOV
enabled by setting all the bits in the VFTA and all of the VLVF bits
associated with teh pool belonging to the PF, in addition to cleaning up
those same bits in the event of promiscuous mode being disabled. Fixed
and issue where we ran the risk of leaking an address into pool 0 which
really belongs to VF 0 when SR-IOV is enabled.
Emil fixes an issue with some X550 devices which can connect at 2.5Gbps,
but only with certain link partners during fail-over, so to avoid
confusion, we do not report it as supported.

Add support for renaming and hard links to the fs. Most of this can be
implemented by using simple library operations under the same constraints
that we don't use a reserved name like elsewhere. Linking can be useful
to share/manage things like maps across subsystem users. It works within
the file system boundary, but is not allowed for directories.
Symbolic links are explicitly not implemented here, as it can be better
done already by doing bind mounts inside bpf fs to set up shared directories
f.e. useful when using volumes in docker containers that map a private
working directory into /sys/fs/bpf/ which contains itself a bind mounted
path from the host's /sys/fs/bpf/ mount that is shared among multiple
containers. For single maps instead of whole directory, hard links can
be easily used to do the same.

This patch adds support for VLAN promiscuous with SR-IOV enabled.
The code prior to this patch was only adding the PF to VLANs that the VF
had added. As such enabling promiscuous mode would actually not add any
additional VLAN filters so visibility was limited. This lead to a number
of issues as the bridge and OVS would expect us to accept all VLAN tagged
packets when promiscuous mode was enabled, and instead we would filter out
most if not all depending on the configuration of the PF.
With this patch what we do is set all the bits in the VFTA and all of the
VLVF bits associated with the pool belonging to the PF. By doing this the
PF is guaranteed to receive all VLAN tagged traffic associated with the RAR
filters assigned to the PF. In addition we will clean up those same bits
in the event of promiscuous mode being disabled.

This patch addresses several issues within the VLVF and VLVFB
configuration
First was the fact that code was overly complicated with multiple
conditional paths depending on if we adding or removing and which bit we
were going to add or remove. Instead of messing with all that I have
simplified it by using (vid / 32) and (1 - vid / 32) to identify our
register and the other vlvfb register.
Second was the fact that we were likely leaking a few packets into the PF
in cases where we were deleting an entry and the VFTA filter for that entry
as the ordering was such that we deleted the pool and then the VLAN filter
instead of the other way around. I have updated that by adding a check for
no bits being set and if that occurs we clear things up in the proper
order.

====================
mlx5 improved flow steering management
First two patches fixes some minor issues in recently
introduced SRIOV code.
The other seven patches modifies the driver's code that
manages flow steering rules with Connectx-4 devices.
Basic introduction:
The flow steering device specification model is composed of the following entities:
Destination (either a TIR/Flow table/vport), where TIR is RSS end-point, vport
is the VF eSwitch port in SRIOV.
Flow table entry (FTE) - the values used by the flow specification
Flow table group (FG) - the masks used by the flow specification
Flow table (FT) - groups several FGs and can serve as destination
The flow steering software entities:
In addition to the device objects, the software have two more objects:
Priorities - group several FTs. Handles order of packet matching.
Namespaces - group several priorities. Namespace are used in order to
isolate different usages of steering (for example, add two separate
namespaces, one for the NIC driver and one for E-Switch FDB).
The base data structure for the flow steering management is a tree and
all the flow steering objects such as (Namespace/Flow table/Flow Group/FTE/etc.)
are represented as a node in the tree, e.g.:
Priority-0 -> FT1 -> FG -> FTE -> TIR (destination)
Priority-1 -> FT2 -> FG-> FTE -> TIR (destination)
Matching begins in FT1 flow rules and if there is a miss on all the FTEs
then matching continues on the FTEs in FT2.
The new implementation solves/improves the following
issues in the current code:
1) The new impl. supports multiple destinations, the search for existing rule with
the same matching value is performed by the flow steering management.
In the current impl. the E-switch FDB management code needs to search
for existing rules before calling to the add rule function.
2) The new impl. manages the flow table level, in the current implementation the
consumer states the flow table level when new flow table is created without
any knowledge about the levels of other flow tables.
3) In the current impl. the consumer can't create or destroy flow
groups dynamically, the flow groups are passed as argument to the create
flow table API. The new impl. exposes API for create/destroy flow group.
The series is built as follows:
Patch #1 add flow steering API firmware commands.
Patch #2 add tree operation of the flow steering tree: add/remove node,
initialize node and take reference count on a node.
Patch #3 add essential algorithms for managing the flow steering.
Patch #4 Initialize the flow steering tree, flow steering initialization is based
on static tree which illustrates the flow steering tree when the driver is loaded.
Patch #5 is the main patch of the series. It introduce the flow steering API.
Patch #6 Expose the new flow steering API and remove the old one.
The Ethernet flow steering follows the existing implementation,
but uses the new steering API.
Patch #7 Rename en_flow_table.c to en_fs.c in order to be aligned with
the new flow steering files.

2. Move the E-switch FDB management to use the new API.
3. When driver is loaded call to mlx5_init_fs which initialize
the flow steering tree structure, open namespaces for NIC receive
and for E-switch FDB.
4. Call to mlx5_cleanup_fs when the driver is unloaded.

Flow steering initialization is based on static tree which
illustrates the flow steering tree when the driver is loaded. The
initialization considers the max supported flow table level of the device,
a minimum of 2 kernel flow tables(vlan and mac) are required to have
kernel flow table functionality.
The tree structures when the driver is loaded:
root_namespace(receive nic)
|
priority-0 (kernel priority)
|
namespace(kernel namespace)
|
priority-0 (flow tables priority)
In the following patches, When the EN driver will use the flow steering
API, it create two flow tables and their flow groups under
priority-0(flow tables priority).
