      i40e/i40evf: Detect and recover hung queue scenario · 07d44190
      Sudheer Mogilappagari 提交于
      In VFs, there is a known issue which can cause writebacks
      to not occur when interrupts are disabled and there are
      less than 4 descriptors resulting in TX timeout. Timeout
      can also occur due to lost interrupt.
      
      The current implementation for detecting and recovering
      from hung queues in the PF is problematic because it actually
      actively encourages lost interrupts.  By triggering a SW
      interrupt, interrupts are forced on.  If we are already in
      napi_poll and an interrupt fires, napi_poll will not be
      rescheduled and the interrupt is effectively lost; thereby
      potentially *causing* hung queues.
      
      This patch checks whether packets are being processed between
      every watchdog cycle and determine potential hung queue and
      fires triggers SW interrupt only for that particular queue.

      i40e: setup xdp_rxq_info · 87128824
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      The i40e driver has a special "FDIR" RX-ring (I40E_VSI_FDIR) which is
      a sideband channel for configuring/updating the flow director tables.
      This (i40e_vsi_)type does not invoke XDP-ebpf code.
      
      As suggested by Björn (V2): Instead of marking this I40E_VSI_FDIR RX-ring
      a special case, reverse the logic and only select RX-rings of type
      I40E_VSI_MAIN to register xdp_rxq_info's for.
      
      Driver hook points for xdp_rxq_info:
       * reg  : i40e_setup_rx_descriptors (via i40e_vsi_setup_rx_resources)
       * unreg: i40e_free_rx_resources    (via i40e_vsi_free_rx_resources)
      
      Tested on actual hardware with samples/bpf program.
      
      V2: Fixed bug in i40e_set_ringparam (memset zero) + match on I40E_VSI_MAIN.
      V4: Update patch desc that got out-of-sync with code.

      i40e/i40evf: avoid dynamic ITR updates when polling or low packet rate · 742c9875
      Jacob Keller 提交于
      The dynamic ITR algorithm depends on a calculation of usecs which
      assumes that the interrupts have been firing constantly at the interrupt
      throttle rate. This is not guaranteed because we could have a low packet
      rate, or have been polling in software.
      
      We'll estimate whether this is the case by using jiffies to determine if
      we've been too long. If the time difference of jiffies is larger we are
      guaranteed to have an incorrect calculation. If the time difference of
      jiffies is smaller we might have been polling some but the difference
      shouldn't affect the calculation too much.
      
      This ensures that we don't get stuck in BULK latency during certain rare
      situations where we receive bursts of packets that force us into NAPI
      polling.

      i40e/i40evf: remove ULTRA latency mode · 0a2c7722
      Jacob Keller 提交于
      Since commit c56625d5 ("i40e/i40evf: change dynamic interrupt
      thresholds") a new higher latency ITR setting called I40E_ULTRA_LATENCY
      was added with a cryptic comment about how it was meant for adjusting Rx
      more aggressively when streaming small packets.
      
      This mode was attempting to calculate packets per second and then kick
      in when we have a huge number of small packets.
      
      Unfortunately, the ULTRA setting was kicking in for workloads it wasn't
      intended for including single-thread UDP_STREAM workloads.
      
      This wasn't caught for a variety of reasons. First, the ip_defrag
      routines were improved somewhat which makes the UDP_STREAM test still
      reasonable at 10GbE, even when dropped down to 8k interrupts a second.
      Additionally, some other obvious workloads appear to work fine, such
      as TCP_STREAM.
      
      The number 40k doesn't make sense for a number of reasons. First, we
      absolutely can do more than 40k packets per second. Second, we calculate
      the value inline in an integer, which sometimes can overflow resulting
      in using incorrect values.
      
      If we fix this overflow it makes it even more likely that we'll enter
      ULTRA mode which is the opposite of what we want.
      
      The ULTRA mode was added originally as a way to reduce CPU utilization
      during a small packet workload where we weren't keeping up anyways. It
      should never have been kicking in during these other workloads.
      
      Given the issues outlined above, let's remove the ULTRA latency mode. If
      necessary, a better solution to the CPU utilization issue for small
      packet workloads will be added in a future patch.

      i40e: separate hw_features from runtime changing flags · d36e41dc
      Jacob Keller 提交于
      The number of flags found in pf->flags has grown quite large, and there
      are a lot of different types of flags. Most of the flags are simply
      hardware features which are enabled on some firmware or some MAC types.
      Other flags are dynamic run-time flags which enable or disable certain
      features of the driver.
      
      Separate these two types of flags into pf->hw_features and pf->flags.
      The hw_features list will contain a set of features which are enabled at
      init time. This will not contain toggles or otherwise dynamically
      changing features. These flags should not need atomic protections, as
      they will be set once during init and then be essentially read only.
      
      Everything else will remain in the flags variable. These flags may be
      modified at any time during run time. A future patch may wish to convert
      these flags into set_bit/clear_bit/test_bit or similar approach to
      ensure atomic correctness.
      
      The I40E_FLAG_MFP_ENABLED flag may be a good fit for hw_features but
      currently is used by ethtool in the private flags settings, and thus has
      been left as part of flags.
      
      Additionally, I40E_FLAG_DCB_CAPABLE may be a good fit for the
      hw_features but this patch has not tried to untangle it yet.

      i40e: refactor macro INTRL_USEC_TO_REG · 1c0e6a36
      Alan Brady 提交于
      This patch refactors the macro INTRL_USEC_TO_REG into a static inline
      function and fixes a couple subtle bugs caused by the macro.
      
      This patch fixes a bug which was caused by passing a bad register value
      to the firmware.  If enabling interrupt rate limiting, a non-zero value
      for the rate limit must be used.  Otherwise the firmware sets the
      interrupt rate limit to the maximum value.  Due to the limited
      resolution of the register, attempting to set a value of 1, 2, or 3
      would be rounded down to 0 and limiting was left enabled, causing
      unexpected behavior.
      
      This patch also fixes a possible bug in which using the macro itself can
      introduce unintended side-affects because the macro argument is used
      more than once in the macro definition (e.g. a variable post-increment
      argument would perform a double increment on the variable).
      
      Without this patch, attempting to set interrupt rate limits of 1, 2, or
      3 results in unexpected behavior and future use of this macro could
      cause subtle bugs.

      i40e: Reorder logic for coalescing RS bits · 1dc8b538

      This patch reorders the logic at the end of i40e_tx_map to address the
      fact that the logic was rather convoluted and much larger than it needed
      to be.
      
      In order to try and coalesce the code paths I have updated some of the
      comments and repurposed some of the variables in order to reduce
      unnecessary overhead.
      
      This patch does the following:
      1.  Quit tracking skb->xmit_more with a flag, just max out packet_stride
      2.  Drop tail_bump and do_rs and instead just use desc_count and td_cmd
      3.  Pull comments from ixgbe that make need for wmb() more explicit.

      i40e: replace PTP Rx timestamp hang logic · 12490501
      Jacob Keller 提交于
      The current Rx timestamp hang logic is not very robust because it does
      not notice a register is hung until all four timestamps have been
      latched and we wait a full 5 seconds. Replace this logic with a newer Rx
      hang detection based on storing the jiffies when we first notice
      a receive timestamp event. We store each register's time separately,
      along with a flag indicating if it is currently latched. Upon first
      transitioning to latch, we will update the latch_events[i] jiffies
      value. This indicates the time we first noticed this event. The watchdog
      routine will simply check that the either the flag has been cleared, or
      we have passed at least one second. In this case, it is able to clear
      the Rx timestamp register under the assumption that it was for a dropped
      frame. The benefit if this strategy is that we should be able to
      detect and clear out stalled RXTIME_H registers before we exhaust the
      supply of 4, and avoid complete stall of Rx timestamp events.

      i40e/i40evf: Allow up to 12K bytes of data per Tx descriptor instead of 8K · 5c4654da
      Alexander Duyck 提交于
      From what I can tell the practical limitation on the size of the Tx data
      buffer is the fact that the Tx descriptor is limited to 14 bits.  As such
      we cannot use 16K as is typically used on the other Intel drivers.  However
      artificially limiting ourselves to 8K can be expensive as this means that
      we will consume up to 10 descriptors (1 context, 1 for header, and 9 for
      payload, non-8K aligned) in a single send.
      
      I propose that we can reduce this by increasing the maximum data for a 4K
      aligned block to 12K.  We can reduce the descriptors used for a 32K aligned
      block by 1 by increasing the size like this.  In addition we still have the
      4K - 1 of space that is still unused.  We can use this as a bit of extra
      padding when dealing with data that is not aligned to 4K.
      
      By aligning the descriptors after the first to 4K we can improve the
      efficiency of PCIe accesses as we can avoid using byte enables and can fetch
      full TLP transactions after the first fetch of the buffer.  This helps to
      improve PCIe efficiency.  Below is the results of testing before and after
      with this patch:
      
      Recv   Send   Send                         Utilization      Service Demand

      bytes  bytes  bytes    secs.   10^6bits/s  % S      % U     us/KB   us/KB
      Before:
      87380  16384  16384    10.00     33682.24  20.27    -1.00   0.592   -1.00

      So the net result of this patch is that we have a small gain in throughput
      due to a reduction in overhead for putting together the frame.
