2024-01-24net/mlx5e: Use the correct lag ports number when creating TISesSaeed Mahameed1-8/+13
The cited commit moved the code of mlx5e_create_tises() and changed the loop to create TISes over MLX5_MAX_PORTS constant value, instead of getting the correct lag ports supported by the device, which can cause FW errors on devices with less than MLX5_MAX_PORTS ports. Change that back to mlx5e_get_num_lag_ports(mdev). Also IPoIB interfaces create there own TISes, they don't use the eth TISes, pass a flag to indicate that. This fixes the following errors that might appear in kernel log: mlx5_cmd_out_err:808:(pid 650): CREATE_TIS(0x912) op_mod(0x0) failed, status bad parameter(0x3), syndrome (0x595b5d), err(-22) mlx5e_create_mdev_resources:174:(pid 650): alloc tises failed, -22 Fixes: b25bd37c859f ("net/mlx5: Move TISes from priv to mdev HW resources") Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>

2023-12-14net/mlx5: Move TISes from priv to mdev HW resourcesTariq Toukan1-0/+74
The transport interface send (TIS) object is responsible for performing all transport related operations of the transmit side. Messages from Send Queues get segmented and transmitted by the TIS including all transport required implications, e.g. in the case of large send offload, the TIS is responsible for the segmentation. These are stateless objects and can be used by multiple netdevs (e.g. representors) who share the same core device. Providing the TISes as a service from the core layer to the netdev layer reduces the number of replecated TIS objects (in case of multiple netdevs), and will ease the transition to netdev with multiple mdevs. Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Gal Pressman <gal@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>

2023-04-16RDMA/mlx5: Allow relaxed ordering read in VFs and VMsAvihai Horon1-3/+4
According to PCIe spec, Enable Relaxed Ordering value in the VF's PCI config space is wired to 0 and PF relaxed ordering (RO) setting should be applied to the VF. In QEMU (and maybe others), when assigning VFs, the RO bit in PCI config space is not emulated properly and is always set to 0. Therefore, pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled() always returns 0 for VFs and VMs and thus MKeys can't be created with RO read even if the PF supports it. pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled() check was added to avoid a syndrome when creating a MKey with relaxed ordering (RO) enabled when the driver's relaxed_ordering_read_pci_enabled HCA capability is out of sync with FW. With the new relaxed_ordering_read capability this can't happen, as it's set regardless of RO value in PCI config space and thus can't change during runtime. Hence, to allow RO read in VFs and VMs, use the new HCA capability relaxed_ordering_read without checking pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled(). The old capability checks are kept for backward compatibility with older FWs. Allowing RO in VFs and VMs is valuable since it can greatly improve performance on some setups. For example, testing throughput of a VF on an AMD EPYC 7763 and ConnectX-6 Dx setup showed roughly 60% performance improvement.

Rename existing HCA capability relaxed_ordering_read to relaxed_ordering_read_pci_enabled. This is in accordance with recent PRM change to better describe the capability, as it's set only if both the device supports relaxed ordering (RO) read and RO is enabled in PCI config space. In addition, add new HCA capability relaxed_ordering_read which is set if the device supports RO read, regardless of RO in PCI config space.

2023-04-16RDMA/mlx5: Remove pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled() check for RO writeAvihai Horon1-1/+1
pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled() check was added to avoid a syndrome when creating a MKey with relaxed ordering (RO) enabled when the driver's relaxed_ordering_{read,write} HCA capabilities are out of sync with FW. While this can happen with relaxed_ordering_read, it can't happen with relaxed_ordering_write as it's set if the device supports RO write, regardless of RO in PCI config space, and thus can't change during runtime. Therefore, drop the pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled() check for relaxed_ordering_write while keeping it for relaxed_ordering_read. Doing so will also allow the usage of RO write in VFs and VMs (where RO in PCI config space is not reported/emulated properly).

2020-07-28net/mlx5e: Add support for PCI relaxed orderingAya Levin1-1/+11
The concept of Relaxed Ordering in the PCI Express environment allows switches in the path between the Requester and Completer to reorder some transactions just received before others that were previously enqueued. In ETH driver, there is no question of write integrity since each memory segment is written only once per cycle. In addition, the driver doesn't access the memory shared with the hardware until the corresponding CQE arrives indicating all PCI transactions are done. Running TCP single stream over ConnectX-4 LX, ARM CPU on remote-numa has 300% improvement in the bandwidth. With relaxed ordering turned off: BW:10 [GB/s] With relaxed ordering turned on: BW:40 [GB/s] The driver turns relaxed ordering with respect to the firmware capabilities and the return value from pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled().

2017-11-05net/mlx5e: Support DSCP trust state to Ethernet's IP packet on SQHuy Nguyen1-0/+12
If the port is in DSCP trust state, packets are placed in the right priority queue based on the dscp value. This is done by selecting the transmit queue based on the dscp of the skb. Until now select_queue honors priority only from the vlan header. However that is not sufficient in cases where port trust state is DSCP mode as packet might not even contain vlan header. Therefore if the port is in dscp trust state and vport's min inline mode is not NONE, copy the IP header to the eseg's inline header if the skb has it. This is done by changing the transmit queue sq's min inline mode to L3. Note that the min inline mode of sqs that belong to other features such as xdpsq, icosq are not modified.

2016-07-02net/mlx5e: TIRs management refactoringHadar Hen Zion1-0/+48
The current refresh tirs self loopback mechanism, refreshes all the tirs belonging to the same mlx5e instance to prevent self loopback by packets sent over any ring of that instance. This mechanism relies on all the tirs/tises of an instance to be created with the same transport domain number (tdn). Change the driver to refresh all the tirs created under the same tdn regardless of which mlx5e netdev instance they belong to. This behaviour is needed for introducing new mlx5e instances which serve to represent SRIOV VFs. The representors and the PF share vport used for E-Switch management, and we want to avoid NIC level HW loopback between them, e.g when sending broadcast packets. To achieve that, both the representors and the PF NIC will share the tdn. This patch doesn't add any new functionality.
