40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-12-03

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.

Mitch updates the i40evf driver by increasing the maximum number of queues,
since future devices will allow for more queue pairs.  Cleans up a
duplicate printing of the driver info string done in init, since it is
already done in probe.  Cleaned up the several allocations which did
not need to be at atomic level, where GFP_KERNEL would work just fine.
Then makes i40e_sync_vsi_filters() a more mature function, make having
a common exit point so it will properly release the busy lock on the VSI
and propagate errors to the callers.  Then does some whitespace
housekeeping in i40evf.

Kiran moves and updates the detection/recovery of transmit queue hang code
to service_task from tx_timeout function.  Also fixed memory leak when
users program flow-director filter using ethtool (sideband filter
programming), the cause being the check of 'tx_buffer->skb' was preventing
'raw_buf' from being freed as part of the cleanup.

Jesse enabled the ability to turn off/on packet split using ethtool priv
flags.  Then does some housekeeping for both the i40e and i40evf drivers
which includes: remove unused/useless code, correct whitespace, remove
duplicate #include, fix incorrect comment, etc...

Neerav cleans up functions to gather Flow Control Rx XOFF stats, since
the recent change in the driver logic for checking transmit hang has been
moved, so these functions do not do anything meaningful any longer.

Introducing ConnectX-4 Ethernet SRIOV

This patchset introduces the support of Ethernet SRIOV in ConnectX-4
family of 100G Ethernet NICs.

Some features are still missing, but all the basic SRIOV functionalities
are there already.

Basic Introduction:
ConnectX-4 HW architecture provides two kinds of underlying HW switches.

MPFS (Multi Physical Function Switch) or L2 Table in Software terms:

The HCA has one MPFS switch per physical port, this switch is responsible
of forwarding Unicast traffic to the various overlying Physical Functions (PFs).
Multicast traffic is flooded amongst all the PFs, Each PF can request to
forward a unicast MAC to its E-Switch Uplink vport (which we will cover later)
through SET_L2_TABLE_ENTRY HW command.

MPFS has five ports, four are connected to PFs (one for each) and one is connected
directly to the Physical Port (Physical Link).

E-Switch (Ethernet Switch):

The HCA has one per physical function. The main responsibility of this component is
to forward Unicast/Multicast and vlan tagged/untagged traffic to the various
Virtual Functions (VFs) allocated by the PF. Unlike MPFS, the PF needs to explicitly
create the E-Switch FDB table, Which is a HW flow table managed by the PF driver
whenever vport_group_manager capability bit is set for this PF.

E-Switch has Virtual Ports (vports) entities as its ports, vport0 and uplink vport
are special kind of vports that represents PF vport (vport0) and uplink vport which
is connected to the MPFS switch (if exists) as the PF external link.
vport1..vportN represent VF0..VF(N-1) egress/ingress ports.

E-Switch FDB contains forwarding rules such as:
        UC MAC0 -> vport0(PF).
        UC MAC1 -> vport1.
        UC MAC2 -> vport2.
        MC MACX -> vport0, vport2, Uplink.
        MC MACY -> vport1, Uplink.

    For unmatched traffic FDB has the following default rules:
        Unmatched Traffic (src vport != Uplink) -> Uplink.
        Unmatched Traffic (src vport == Uplink) -> vport0(PF).

NIC VPort context:
Each NIC (VF/PF) has its own vport context which will be used to store the current
NIC vport context (UC/MC and vlan lists) and other NIC properties such as MTU, promisc
mode, etc.. NIC (VF/PF) driver is responsible of constantly updating this context.

FDB rules population:
Each NIC vport (VF/PF) will notify E-Switch manager of its UC/MC vport
context changes via modify vport context command, which will be
translated to an event that will be handled by E-Switch manager (PF)
which will update FDB table accordingly.

Both PF and VF use the same driver and submit commands directly to the firmware.
The PF sees the vport_group_manager capability bit and as such runs the code
to populate the embedded switches as explained above.

The patch goes as follows:

Patches 1-2 introduces the basic PCI SRIOV functionalities and the support of
Connectx4 to enable specific VFs via enable/disable HCA commands. These two
patches will be also in use later for the IB SRIOV flow.

Patches 3-8 Introduces the basic E-Switch capabilities and commands to be used later by
VF to modify and update its NIC vport context, and by PF (E-Switch Manager) driver to
Query the VF NIC context and acts accordingly.

Patches 9-10 Provide the needed functionality of a NIC driver VF/PF to support SRIOV,
mainly vport context update support.

Patch 11 ("net/mlx5: Introducing E-Switch and l2 table"), Introduces the basic
E-Switch support and infrastructure to read vport context events and to update
MPFS L2 Table of the UC mac addresses request by the PF.

Patches 12-18 Introduces SRIOV enablemenet and E-Switch FDB table management
It adds the Basic E-Swtich public API to set and get sriov properties to be used
in PF netdev sriov ndos.

Patchset was applied ontop of commit 3f8c0f7e "gianfar: use of_property_read_bool()"

E-Switch is the software entity that represents and manages ConnectX4
inter-HCA ethernet l2 switching.

E-Switch has its own Virtual Ports, each Vport/vNIC/VF can be
connected to the device through a vport of an e-switch.

Each e-switch is managed by one vNIC identified by
HCA_CAP.vport_group_manager (usually it is the PF/vport[0]),
and its main responsibility is to forward each packet to the
right vport.

e-Switch needs to manage its own l2-table and FDB tables.

L2 table is a flow table that is managed by FW, it is needed for
Multi-host (Multi PF) configuration for inter HCA switching between
PFs.

FDB table is a flow table that is totally managed by e-Switch driver,
its main responsibility is to switch packets between e-Swtich internal
vports and uplink vport that belong to the same.

This patch introduces only e-Swtich l2 table management, FDB managemnt
will come later when ethernet SRIOV/VFs will be enabled.

This patch adds SRIOV base support for mlx5 supported devices. The same
driver is used for both PFs and VFs; VFs are identified by the driver
through the flag MLX5_PCI_DEV_IS_VF added to the pci table entries.
Virtual functions are created as usual through writing a value to the
sriov_numvs sysfs file of the PF device. Upon instantiating VFs, they will
all be probed by the driver on the hypervisor. One can gracefully unbind
them through /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_core/unbind.

mlx5_wait_for_vf_pages() was added to ensure that when a VF dies without
executing proper teardown, the hypervisor driver waits till all of the
pages that were allocated at the hypervisor to maintain its operation
are returned.

In order for the VF to be operational, the PF needs to call enable_hca
for it. This can be done before the VFs are created through a call to
pci_enable_sriov.

If the there are VFs assigned to a VMs when the driver of the PF is
unloaded, all the VF will experience system error and PF driver unloads
cleanly; in this case pci_disable_sriov is not called and the devices
will show when running lspci. Once the PF driver is reloaded, it will
sync its data structures which maintain state on its VFs.

bonding/team offload + mlxsw implementation

This patchset introduces needed infrastructure for link aggregation
offload - for both team and bonding. It also implements the offload
in mlxsw driver.

Particulary, this patchset introduces possibility for upper driver
(bond/team/bridge/..) to pass type-specific info down to notifier listeners.
Info is passed along with NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER/NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER
notifiers. Listeners (drivers of netdevs being enslaved) can react
accordingly.

Other extension is for run-time use. This patchset introduces
new netdev notifier type - NETDEV_CHANGELOWERSTATE. Along with this
notification, the upper driver (bond/team/bridge/..) can pass some
information about lower device change, particulary link-up and
TX-enabled states. Listeners (drivers of netdevs being enslaved)
can react accordingly.

The last part of the patchset is implementation of LAG offload in mlxsw,
using both previously introduced infrastructre extensions.

Note that bond-speficic (and ugly) NETDEV_BONDING_INFO used by mlx4
can be removed and mlx4 can use the extensions this patchset adds.
I plan to convert it and get rid of NETDEV_BONDING_INFO in
a follow-up patchset.
