This is a solution to avoid adding too many queues to num_lan_msix. A recent refactor of queue pairs accidentally added all remaining vectors to the num_lan_msix which can have adverse performance issues, due to enabling more queues than the number of CPU cores. This patch removes the old calculation, and replaces it with a simple algorithm. 1) add queue pairs up to num_online_cpus(), but capped at half of total vectors 2) then add alternative features such as flow directory and similar 3) finally, add the remaining vectors back to queue pairs, but capped such that the total number of queue pairs does not exceed num_online_cpus().

(KISS is Keep It Simple, Stupid. Or is it?) The client interface vastly overengineered for what it needs to do. It was originally designed to support multiple clients on multiple netdevs, possibly even with multiple drivers. None of this happened, and now we know that there will only ever be one client for i40e (i40iw) and one for i40evf (i40iwvf). So, time for some KISS. Since i40e and i40evf are a Dynasty, we'll simplify this one to match the VF interface. First, be a Destroyer and remove all of the lists and locks required to support multiple clients. Keep one static around to keep track of one client, and track the client instances for each netdev in the driver's pf (or adapter) struct. Now it's Almost Human. Since we already know the client type is iWarp, get rid of any checks for this. Same for VSI type - it's always going to be the same type, so it's just a Parasite. While we're at it, fix up some comments. This makes the function headers actually match the functions. These changes reduce code complexity, simplify maintenance, squash some lurking timing bugs, and allow us to Rock and Roll All Nite.

In preparation for upcoming RDMA-capable hardware, add a client interface to the VF driver. This is a slightly-simplified version of the PF client interface, with the names changed to protect the innocent. Due to the nature of the VF<->PF interactions, the client interface sometimes needs to call back into itself to pass messages. Because of this, we can't use the coarse-grained locking like the PF's client interface uses. Instead, we handle all client interactions in a separate thread so the watchdog can still run and process virtual channel messages.

On architectures that have a cache line size larger than 64 Bytes we start running into issues where the amount of headroom for the frame starts shrinking. The size of skb_shared_info on a system with a 64B L1 cache line size is 320. This increases to 384 with a 128B cache line, and 512 with a 256B cache line. In addition the NET_SKB_PAD value increases as well consistent with the cache line size. As a result when we get to a 256B cache line as seen on the s390 we end up 768 bytes used by padding and shared info leaving us with only 1280 bytes to use for data storage. On architectures such as this we should default to using 3K Rx buffers out of a 8K page instead of trying to do 1.5K buffers out of a 4K page. To take all of this into account I have added one small check so that we compare the max_frame to the amount of actual data we can store. This was already occurring for igb, but I had overlooked it for ixgbe as it doesn't have strict limits for 82599 once we enable jumbo frames. By adding this check we will automatically enable 3K Rx buffers as soon as the maximum frame size we can handle drops below the standard Ethernet MTU. I also went through and fixed one small typo that I found where I had left an IGB in a variable name due to a copy/paste error.

Fix, or rather, avoid a sparse warning caused by the fact that csum_replace_by_diff expects to receive a __wsum value. Since the calculation appears to work, simply typecast the passed paylen value to __wsum to avoid the warning. This seems pretty fishy since __wsum was obviously annotated as a separate type on purpose, so this throws the entire calculation into question. Since it currently appears to behave as expected, the typecast is probably safe.

This patch fixes a bug introduced with the addition of the per queue ITR feature support in ethtool. With that addition, there were functions added which converted the ITR settings to binary values. The IS_ENABLED macros that run on those values check whether a bit is set or not and with the value being binary, the bit check always returned ITR disabled which prevents any updating of the ITR rate. This patch fixes the problem by changing the functions to return the current ITR value instead and renaming it to better reflect its function. These functions now provide a value which will be accurately asessed and update the ITR as intended.

This patch adds a call to the mac_address_write admin q function during power down to update the PRTPM_SAH/SAL registers with the MC_MAG_EN bit thus enabling multicast magic packet wakeup. A FW workaround is needed to write the multicast magic wake up enable bit in the PRTPM_SAH register. The FW expects the mac address write admin q cmd to be called first with one of the WRITE_TYPE_LAA flags and then with the multicast relevant flags. *Note: This solution only works for X722 devices currently. A PFR will clear the previously mentioned bit by default, but X722 has support for a WOL_PRESERVE_ON_PFR flag which prevents the bit from being cleared. Once other devices support this flag, this solution should work as well.

There exists a bug in which the driver is unable to exit overflow promiscuous mode after having added "too many" mac filters. It is expected that after triggering overflow promiscuous, removing the failed/extra filters should then disable overflow promiscuous mode. The bug exists because we were intentionally skipping the sync_vsi_filter path in cases where we were removing failed filters since they shouldn't have been added to the firmware in the first place, however we still need to go through the sync_vsi_filter code path to determine whether or not it is ok to exit overflow promiscuous mode. This patch fixes the bug by making sure we go through the sync_vsi_filter path in cases of failed filters.

This patch makes it so that we don't need to bother with clearing the memory out for the descriptor rings. The general idea is to only free buffers associated with buffers in use which are located between the next_to_clean and next_to_use or next_to_alloc values. Everything outside of those regions can be safely ignored since they should have no buffers associated with them. The advantage to doing things this way is that is should speed up bring-up and tear-down of the rings. Specifically we can avoid the 512 or more cycles required to memset the rings in tear-down. In the bring-up phase we then clear the memory as a part of initialization. The general idea is that the clearing in initialization can act as a prefetch of sorts for the buffer info structures so they are in the local CPU when we go to populate them. This should help to improve overall time needed to perform a suspend/resume.

It avoids the memcpy, skb->head allocation, and eth_get_headlen for larger packets improving performance by about 10% in my tests. 3.

Refactor how we add new filters to firmware to avoid a race condition that can occur due to removing filters from the hash temporarily. To understand the race condition, suppose that you have a number of MAC filters, but have not yet added any VLANs. Now, add two VLANs in rapid succession. A possible resulting flow would look something like the following: (1) lock hash for add VLAN (2) add the new MAC/VLAN combos for each current MAC filter (3) unlock hash (4) lock hash for filter sync (5) notice that we have a VLAN, so prepare to update all MAC filters with VLAN=-1 to be VLAN=0. (6) move NEW and REMOVE filters to temporary list (7) unlock hash (8) lock hash for add VLAN (9) add new MAC/VLAN combos. Notice that no MAC filters are currently in the hash list, so we don't add any VLANs <--- BUG! (10) unlock hash (11) sync the temporary lists to firmware (12) lock hash for post-sync (13) move the temporary elements back to the main list .... Because we take filters out of the main hash into temporary lists, we introduce a narrow window where it is possible that other callers to the list will not see some of the filters which were previously added but have not yet been finalized. This results in sometimes dropping VLAN additions, and could also result in failing to add a MAC address on the newly added VLAN. One obvious way to avoid this race condition would be to lock the entire firmware process. Unfortunately this does not work because adminq firmware commands take a mutex which results in a sleep while atomic BUG(). So, we can't use the simplest approach. An alternative approach is to simply not remove the filters from the hash list while adding. Instead, add an i40e_new_mac_filter structure which we will use to track added filters. This avoids the need to remove the filter from the hash list. We'll store a pointer to the original i40e_mac_filter, along with our own copy of the state. We won't update the state directly, so as to avoid race with other code that may modify the state while under the lock. We are safe to read f->macaddr and f->vlan since these only change in two locations. The first is on filter creation, which must have already occurred. The second is inside i40e_correct_vlan_filters which was previously run after creation of this object and can't be run again until after. Thus, we should be safe to read the MAC address and VLAN while outside the lock. We also aren't going to run into a use-after-free issue because the only place where we free filters is when they are marked FAILED or when we remove them inside the sync subtask. Since the subtask has its own critical flag to prevent duplicate runs, we know this won't happen. We also know that the only location to transition a filter from NEW to FAILED is inside the subtask also, so we aren't worried about that either. Use the wrapper i40e_new_mac_filter for additions, and once we've finalized the addition to firmware, we will update the filter state inside a lock, and then free the wrapper structure. In order to avoid a possible race condition with filter deletion, we won't update the original filter state unless it is still I40E_FILTER_NEW when we finish the firmware sync. This approach is more complex, but avoids race conditions related to filters being temporarily removed from the list. We do not need the same behavior for deletion because we always unconditionally removed the filters from the list regardless of the firmware status.
