When posting a message on the bulletin board, the PF calculates crc over the message and places the result in the message. When the VF samples the Bulletin Board it copies the message aside and validates this crc. The length of the message is crucial here and must be the same in both parties. Since the PF is running in the Hypervisor and the VF is running in a Vm, they can possibly be of different versions. As the Bulletin Board is designed to grow forward in future versions, in the VF the length must not be the size of the message structure but instead it should be a field in the message itself.

In this patch the SR-IOV code is segregated from the main bulk of the bnx2x code. The CONFIG_BNX2X_SRIOV define is added to Broadcom's Kconfig, and allows the elision of the building of all the SR-IOV support code in the driver. The define is dependant on the kernel CONFIG_PCI_IOV configuration define. Signed-off-by: NAriel Elior <ariele@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The PF <-> VF Bulletin Board is a simple interface between the PF and the VF. The main reason for the Bulletin Board is to allow the PF to be the initiator. The VF publishes at 'acquire' stage the GPA of a Bulletin Board structure it has allocated. The PF notes this GPA in the VF database. The VF samples the Bulletin Board periodically for new messages. The latest version of the BB is always used. Signed-off-by: NAriel Elior <ariele@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NEilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The 'release' request is the opposite of the 'acquire' request. At release, all the resources allocated to the VF are reclaimed. The release flow applies the close flow if applicable. Note that there are actually two types of release: 1. The VF has been removed, and so issued a 'release' request over the VF <-> PF Channel. 2. The PF is going down and so has to release all of it's VFs. Signed-off-by: NAriel Elior <ariele@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NEilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The 'close' command is the opposite of an init request. Here the queues of the VF are closed (if any are opened) and released. This flow applies the 'q_teardown' flow on all the queues. The VF state is changed by this request. Interrupts are disabled for the VF when closed.

The 'q_teardown' request is basically the opposite of the 'q_setup'. Here the PF driver removes from the device the queue it opened against the VF fastpath ring at 'setup_q' stage, along with all related rx_mode info.

The VF driver uses the 'q_filters' message on the VF <-> PF channel for configuring an open queue, for example when the rxmode changes. Signed-off-by: NAriel Elior <ariele@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NEilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Upon receiving a 'setup_q' request from the VF over the VF <-> PF channel the PF driver will open a corresponding queue in the device. The PF driver configures the queue with appropriate mac address, vlan configuration, etc from the VF.

The VF driver will send an 'init' request as part of its nic load flow. This message is used by the VF to publish the GPA's of its status blocks, slow path ring and statistics buffer. The PF driver notes all this down in the VF database, and also uses this message to transfer the VF to VF_INIT state internally.

When a VF is probed by the VF driver, the VF driver sends an 'acquire' request over the VF <-> PF channel for the resources it needs to operate (interrupts, queues, etc). The PF driver either ratifies the request and allocates the resources, responds with the maximum values it will allow the VF to acquire, or fails the request entirely if there is a problem.

Support interrupt from device which indicates VF has placed A request on the VF <-> PF channel. The PF driver issues a DMAE to retrieve the request from the VM memory (the Ghost Physical Address of the request is contained in the interrupt. The PF driver uses the GPA in the DMAE request, which is translated by the IOMMU to the correct physical address). The request which arrives is examined to recognize the sending VF. The PF driver allocates a workitem to handle the VF Operation (vfop). Signed-off-by: NAriel Elior <ariele@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NEilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Add the 'acquire' request to VF <-> PF channel and use it at VF probe. In the acquire request the VF driver lists the resources it would like to have. In the response the PF either ratifies the request, or denies it and supplies the maximum values supported. The VF may then attempt another acquire request. This patch adds the bnx2x_vfpf.c file which contains the implementation of the VF to PF hardware channel.
