Previously, mlx4_en allocated EQs and used them exclusively. This affected RoCE performance, as applications which are events sensitive were limited to use only the legacy EQs. Change that by introducing an EQ pool. This pool is managed by mlx4_core. EQs are assigned to ports (when there are limited number of EQs, multiple ports could be assigned to the same EQs). An exception to this rule is the ASYNC EQ which handles various events. Legacy EQs are completely removed as all EQs could be shared. When a consumer (mlx4_ib/mlx4_en) requests an EQ, it asks for EQ serving on a specific port. The core driver calculates which EQ should be assigned to that request. Because IRQs are shared between IB and Ethernet modules, their names only include the PCI device BDF address.

When system is out of memory, refilling of RX buffers fails while the driver continue to pass the received packets to the kernel stack. At some point, when all RX buffers deplete, driver may fall into a sleep, and not recover when memory for new RX buffers is once again availible. This is because hardware does not have valid descriptors, so no interrupt will be generated for the driver to return to work in napi context. Fix it by schedule the napi poll function from stats_task delayed workqueue, as long as the allocations fail.

This patch should help to improve the performance of the mlx4 and mlx5 on a number of architectures. For example, on x86 the dma_wmb/rmb equates out to a barrer() call as the architecture is already strong ordered, and on PowerPC the call works out to a lwsync which is significantly less expensive than the sync call that was being used for wmb. I placed the new barriers between any spots that seemed to be trying to order memory/memory reads or writes, if there are any spots that involved MMIO I left the existing wmb in place as the new barriers cannot order transactions between coherent and non-coherent memories. v2: Reduced the replacments to just the spots where I could clearly identify the usage pattern.

This patch improves memory utilization and therefore the packets rate for special MTU's. Instead of setting the frag_stride to the maximal hard coded frag_size, use the actual frag_size that is set according to the MTU, when setting the stride of the last frag. So, for example, for MTU 1600, where the frag_size of the 2nd frag is 86, the frag_size is set to 128 instead of 4096. See below: Before: frag:0 - size:1536 prefix:0 stride:1536 frag:1 - size:86 prefix:1536 stride:4096 frag 0 allocator: - size:32768 frags:21 frag 1 allocator: - size:32768 frags:8 After: frag:0 - size:1536 prefix:0 stride:1536 frag:1 - size:86 prefix:1536 stride:128 frag 0 allocator: - size:32768 frags:21 frag 1 allocator: - size:32768 frags:256 Signed-off-by: NIdo Shamay <idos@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: NAmir Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

A0 hybrid steering is a form of high performance flow steering. By using this mode, mlx4 cards use a fast limited table based steering, in order to enable fast steering of unicast packets to a QP. In order to implement A0 hybrid steering we allocate resources from different zones: (1) General range (2) Special MAC-assigned QPs [RSS, Raw-Ethernet] each has its own region. When we create a rss QP or a raw ethernet (A0 steerable and BF ready) QP, we try hard to allocate the QP from range (2). Otherwise, we try hard not to allocate from this range. However, when the system is pushed to its limits and one needs every resource, the allocator uses every region it can. Meaning, when we run out of raw-eth qps, the allocator allocates from the general range (and the special-A0 area is no longer active). If we run out of RSS qps, the mechanism tries to allocate from the raw-eth QP zone. If that is also exhausted, the allocator will allocate from the general range (and the A0 region is no longer active). Note that if a raw-eth qp is allocated from the general range, it attempts to allocate the range such that bits 6 and 7 (blueflame bits) in the QP number are not set. When the feature is used in SRIOV, the VF has to notify the PF what kind of QP attributes it needs. In order to do that, along with the "Eth QP blueflame" bit, we reserve a new "A0 steerable QP". According to the combination of these bits, the PF tries to allocate a suitable QP. In order to maintain backward compatibility (with older PFs), the PF notifies which QP attributes it supports via QUERY_FUNC_CAP command.

When using BF (Blue-Flame), the QPN overrides the VLAN, CV, and SV fields in the WQE. Thus, BF may only be used for QPNs with bits 6,7 unset. The current Ethernet driver code reserves a Tx QP range with 256b alignment. This is wrong because if there are more than 64 Tx QPs in use, QPNs >= base + 65 will have bits 6/7 set. This problem is not specific for the Ethernet driver, any entity that tries to reserve more than 64 BF-enabled QPs should fail. Also, using ranges is not necessary here and is wasteful. The new mechanism introduced here will support reservation for "Eth QPs eligible for BF" for all drivers: bare-metal, multi-PF, and VFs (when hypervisors support WC in VMs). The flow we use is: 1. In mlx4_en, allocate Tx QPs one by one instead of a range allocation, and request "BF enabled QPs" if BF is supported for the function 2. In the ALLOC_RES FW command, change param1 to: a. param1[23:0] - number of QPs b. param1[31-24] - flags controlling QPs reservation Bit 31 refers to Eth blueflame supported QPs. Those QPs must have bits 6 and 7 unset in order to be used in Ethernet. Bits 24-30 of the flags are currently reserved. When a function tries to allocate a QP, it states the required attributes for this QP. Those attributes are considered "best-effort". If an attribute, such as Ethernet BF enabled QP, is a must-have attribute, the function has to check that attribute is supported before trying to do the allocation. In a lower layer of the code, mlx4_qp_reserve_range masks out the bits which are unsupported. If SRIOV is used, the PF validates those attributes and masks out unsupported attributes as well. In order to notify VFs which attributes are supported, the VF uses QUERY_FUNC_CAP command. This command's mailbox is filled by the PF, which notifies which QP allocation attributes it supports.

To enable gro_flush_timeout, a driver has to use napi_complete_done() instead of napi_complete(). Tested: Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues) Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second. GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet) Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42) Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up. This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK packets. Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

This function derives the base address of the CQE from the CQE size, and calculates the real CQE context segment in it from the factor (this is like before). Before this change the code used the factor to calculate the base address of the CQE as well. The factor indicates in which segment of the cqe stride the cqe information is located. For 32-byte strides, the segment is 0, and for 64 byte strides, the segment is 1 (bytes 32..63). Using the factor was ok as long as we had only 32 and 64 byte strides. However, with larger strides, the factor is zero, and so cannot be used to calculate the base of the CQE. The helper uses the same method of CQE buffer pulling made by all other components that reads the CQE buffer (mlx4_ib driver and libmlx4).

This fix a performance bug introduced by commit 90b1ebe7 "mlx4: set maximal number of default RSS queues", which limits the numbers of IRQs opened by core module. The limit should be on the number of queues in the indirection table - rx_rings, and not on the number of IRQ's. Also, limiting on mlx4_core initialization instead of in mlx4_en, prevented using "ethtool -L" to utilize all the CPU's, when performance mode is prefered, since limiting this number to 8 reduces overall packet rate by 15%-50% in multiple TCP streams applications. For example, after running ethtool -L <ethx> rx 16 Packet rate Before the fix 897799 After the fix 1142070 Results were obtained using netperf: S=200 ; ( for i in $(seq 1 $S) ; do ( \ netperf -H 11.7.13.55 -t TCP_RR -l 30 &) ; \ wait ; done | grep "1 1" | awk '{SUM+=$6} END {print SUM}' ) CC: Yuval Mintz <yuvalmin@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NIdo Shamay <idos@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: NAmir Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

In order to use the native GRO handling of encapsulated protocols on mlx4, we need to call napi_gro_receive() instead of netif_receive_skb() unless busy polling is in action. While we are at it, rename mlx4_en_cq_ll_polling() to mlx4_en_cq_busy_polling() Tested with GRE tunnel : GRO aggregation is now performed on the ethernet device instead of being done later on gre device.

When the device tunneling offloads mode is vxlan do the following - call SET_PORT with the relevant setting - add DMFS steering vxlan rule for the device self and multicast mac addresses of the form: {<ETH, outer-mac> <VXLAN, ANY vnid> <ETH, ANY mac>} --> RSS QP - set relevant QPC fields in RSS context and RX ring QPs - in TX flow, set WQE fields to generate HW checksum, and handle gso skbs which are marked for encapsulation such that the HW will segment them properly. - in RX flow, read HW offloaded checksum for encapsulated packets from the CQE - advertize hw_enc_features and NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL to the networking stack Signed-off-by: NOr Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

For each RX/TX ring and its CQ, allocation is done on a NUMA node that corresponds to the core that the data structure should operate on. The assumption is that the core number is reflected by the ring index. The affected allocations are the ring/CQ data structures, the TX/RX info and the shared HW/SW buffer. For TX rings, each core has rings of all UPs.

Currently all TX/RX rings and completion queues are part of the netdev priv structure and are allocated statically. This patch will change the priv to hold only arrays of pointers and therefore all TX/RX rings and completetion queues will be allocated dynamically. This is in preparation for NUMA aware allocations.
