RX buffer pools are disabled while awaiting a device reset if firmware indicates that the resource is closed. This patch fixes a bug where pools were not being subsequently enabled after the device reset, causing the device to become inoperable.

The IBM vNIC protocol provides support for the user to initiate a failover from the client LPAR in case the current backing infrastructure is deemed inadequate or in an error state. Support for two H_VIOCTL sub-commands for vNIC devices are required to implement this function. These commands are H_GET_SESSION_TOKEN and H_SESSION_ERR_DETECTED. "[H_GET_SESSION_TOKEN] is used to obtain a session token from a VNIC client adapter. This token is opaque to the caller and is intended to be used in tandem with the SESSION_ERROR_DETECTED vioctl subfunction." "[H_SESSION_ERR_DETECTED] is used to report that the currently active backing device for a VNIC client adapter is behaving poorly, and that the hypervisor should attempt to fail over to a different backing device, if one is available." To provide tools access to this functionality the vNIC driver creates a sysfs file that, when written to, will send a request to pHyp to failover to a different backing device.

emac_mdio_read_link() was not copying the requested phy settings back into the emac driver's own phy api. This has caused a link speed mismatch issue for the AR8035 as the emac driver kept trying to connect with 10/100MBps on a 1GBit/s link. This patch also unifies shared code between emac_setup_aneg() and emac_mdio_setup_forced(). And furthermore it removes a chunk of emac_mdio_init_phy(), that was copying the same data into itself.

This patch fixes a problem where the AR8035 PHY can't be detected on an Cisco Meraki MR24, if the ethernet cable is not connected on boot. Russell Senior provided steps to reproduce the issue: |Disconnect ethernet cable, apply power, wait until device has booted, |plug in ethernet, check for interfaces, no eth0 is listed. | |This appears to be a problem during probing of the AR8035 Phy chip. |When ethernet has no link, the phy detection fails, and eth0 is not |created. Plugging ethernet later has no effect, because there is no |interface as far as the kernel is concerned. The relevant part of |the boot log looks like this: |this is the failing case: | |[ 0.876611] /plb/opb/emac-rgmii@ef601500: input 0 in RGMII mode |[ 0.882532] /plb/opb/ethernet@ef600c00: reset timeout |[ 0.888546] /plb/opb/ethernet@ef600c00: can't find PHY! |and the succeeding case: | |[ 0.876672] /plb/opb/emac-rgmii@ef601500: input 0 in RGMII mode |[ 0.883952] eth0: EMAC-0 /plb/opb/ethernet@ef600c00, MAC 00:01:.. |[ 0.890822] eth0: found Atheros 8035 Gigabit Ethernet PHY (0x01) Based on the comment and the commit message of commit 23fbb5a8 ("emac: Fix EMAC soft reset on 460EX/GT"). This is because the AR8035 PHY doesn't provide the TX Clock, if the ethernet cable is not attached. This causes the reset to timeout and the PHY detection code in emac_init_phy() is unable to detect the AR8035 PHY. As a result, the emac driver bails out early and the user left with no ethernet. In order to stay compatible with existing configurations, the driver tries the current reset approach at first. Only if the first attempt timed out, it does perform one more retry with the clock temporarily switched to the internal source for just the duration of the reset.

Current largesend and checksum offload feature in ibmveth driver, - Source VM sends the TCP packets with ip_summed field set as CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and TCP pseudo header checksum is placed in checksum field - CHECKSUM_PARTIAL flag in SKB will enable ibmveth driver to mark "no checksum" and "checksum good" bits in transmit buffer descriptor before the packet is delivered to pseries PowerVM Hypervisor - If ibmveth has largesend capability enabled, transmit buffer descriptors are market accordingly before packet is delivered to Hypervisor (along with mss value for packets with length > MSS) - Destination VM's ibmveth driver receives the packet with "checksum good" bit set and so, SKB's ip_summed field is set with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY - If "largesend" bit was on, mss value is copied from receive descriptor into SKB's gso_size and other flags are appropriately set for packets > MSS size - The packet is now successfully delivered up the stack in destination VM The offloads described above works fine for TCP communication among VMs in the same pseries server ( VM A <=> PowerVM Hypervisor <=> VM B ) We are now enabling support for OVS in pseries PowerVM environment. One of our requirements is to have ibmveth driver configured in "Trunk" mode, when they are used with OVS. This is because, PowerVM Hypervisor will no more bridge the packets between VMs, instead the packets are delivered to IO Server which hosts OVS to bridge them between VMs or to external networks (flow shown below), VM A <=> PowerVM Hypervisor <=> IO Server(OVS) <=> PowerVM Hypervisor <=> VM B In "IO server" the packet is received by inbound Trunk ibmveth and then delivered to OVS, which is then bridged to outbound Trunk ibmveth (shown below), Inbound Trunk ibmveth <=> OVS <=> Outbound Trunk ibmveth In this model, we hit the following issues which impacted the VM communication performance, - Issue 1: ibmveth doesn't support largesend and checksum offload features when configured as "Trunk". Driver has explicit checks to prevent enabling these offloads. - Issue 2: SYN packet drops seen at destination VM. When the packet originates, it has CHECKSUM_PARTIAL flag set and as it gets delivered to IO server's inbound Trunk ibmveth, on validating "checksum good" bits in ibmveth receive routine, SKB's ip_summed field is set with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY flag. This packet is then bridged by OVS (or Linux Bridge) and delivered to outbound Trunk ibmveth. At this point the outbound ibmveth transmit routine will not set "no checksum" and "checksum good" bits in transmit buffer descriptor, as it does so only when the ip_summed field is CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. When this packet gets delivered to destination VM, TCP layer receives the packet with checksum value of 0 and with no checksum related flags in ip_summed field. This leads to packet drops. So, TCP connections never goes through fine. - Issue 3: First packet of a TCP connection will be dropped, if there is no OVS flow cached in datapath. OVS while trying to identify the flow, computes the checksum. The computed checksum will be invalid at the receiving end, as ibmveth transmit routine zeroes out the pseudo checksum value in the packet. This leads to packet drop. - Issue 4: ibmveth driver doesn't have support for SKB's with frag_list. When Physical NIC has GRO enabled and when OVS bridges these packets, OVS vport send code will end up calling dev_queue_xmit, which in turn calls validate_xmit_skb. In validate_xmit_skb routine, the larger packets will get segmented into MSS sized segments, if SKB has a frag_list and if the driver to which they are delivered to doesn't support NETIF_F_FRAGLIST feature. This patch addresses the above four issues, thereby enabling end to end largesend and checksum offload support for better performance. - Fix for Issue 1 : Remove checks which prevent enabling TCP largesend and checksum offloads. - Fix for Issue 2 : When ibmveth receives a packet with "checksum good" bit set and if its configured in Trunk mode, set appropriate SKB fields using skb_partial_csum_set (ip_summed field is set with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) - Fix for Issue 3: Recompute the pseudo header checksum before sending the SKB up the stack. - Fix for Issue 4: Linearize the SKBs with frag_list. Though we end up allocating buffers and copying data, this fix gives upto 4X throughput increase. Note: All these fixes need to be dropped together as fixing just one of them will lead to other issues immediately (especially for Issues 1,2 & 3).

When closing the ibmvnic driver, most notably during the reset path, the tx pools need to be cleaned to ensure there are no hanging skbs that need to be free'ed. The need for this was found during debugging a loss of network traffic after handling a driver reset. The underlying cause was some skbs in the tx pool that were never free'ed.

The ibmvnic driver has multiple handlers for resetting the driver depending on the reason the reset is needed (failover, lpm, fatal erors,...). All of the reset handlers do essentially the same thing, this patch moves this work to a common reset handler. By doing this we also allow the driver to better handle situations where we can get a reset while handling a reset. The updated reset handling works by adding a reset work item to the list of resets and then scheduling work to perform the reset. This step is necessary because we can receive a reset in interrupt context and we want to handle the reset out of interrupt context.
