The current default ITR for Tx is overly restrictive. Using a simple netperf TCP_STREAM test, we top out at about 10Gb/s for a single thread when running using 1500 byte frames. By reducing the ITR value to 25usec (up to 40K interrupts a second from 10K), we are able to achieve 36Gb/s for a single thread TCP stream test.

The existing adaptive ITR algorithm is overly restrictive. It throttles incorrectly for various traffic rates, and does not produce good performance. The algorithm now allows for more interrupts per second, and does some calculation to help improve for smaller packet loads. In addition, take into account the new itr_scale from the hardware which indicates how much to scale due to PCIe link speed.

Define a macro for identifying when the itr value is dynamic or adaptive. The concept was taken from i40e. This helps make clear what the check is, and reduces the line length to something more reasonable in a few places.

The Intel Ethernet Switch FM10000 Host Interface interrupt throttle timers are based on the PCIe link speed. Because of this, the value being programmed into the ITR registers must be scaled accordingly. For the PF, this is as simple as reading the PCIe link speed and storing the result. However, in the case of SR-IOV, the VF's interrupt throttle timers are based on the link speed of the PF. However, the VF is unable to get the link speed information from its configuration space, so the PF must inform it of what scale to use. Rather than pass this scale via mailbox message, take advantage of unused bits in the TDLEN register to pass the scale. It is the responsibility of the PF to program this for the VF while setting up the VF queues and the responsibility of the VF to get the information accordingly. This is preferable because it allows the VF to set up the interrupts properly during initialization and matches how the MAC address is passed in the TDBAL/TDBAH registers.

Originally this statistic was renamed because the method of dropping was called "drop_oversized_messages", but this logic has changed much, and this counter does actually represent messages which we failed to transmit for a number of reasons. Rename the counter back to tx_dropped since this is when it will increment, and it is less confusing.

A previous bug was uncovered by addition of a debug stat to indicate the actual number of DWORDS we pulled from the mbmem. It turned out this was not the same as the tx_dwords counter. While the previous bug fix should have corrected this in all cases, add some debug stats that count the number of DWORDs pushed or pulled from the mbmem. A future debugger may take advantage of this statistic for debugging purposes. Since we're modifying fm10k_mbx.h, update the copyright year as well.

The init_hw function may fail, and in the case of VFs, it might change the number of maximum queues available. Thus, for every flow which checks init_hw, we need to ensure that we clear the queue scheme before, and initialize it after. The fm10k_io_slot_reset path will end up triggering a reset so fm10k_reinit needs this change. The fm10k_io_error_detected and fm10k_io_resume also need to properly clear and reinitialize the queue scheme.

A recent change modified init_hw in some flows the function may fail on VF devices. For example, if a VF doesn't yet own its own queues. However, many callers of init_hw didn't bother to check the error code. Other callers checked but only displayed diagnostic messages without actually handling the consequences. Fix this by (a) always returning and preventing the netdevice from going up, and (b) printing the diagnostic in every flow for consistency. This should resolve an issue where VF drivers would attempt to come up before the PF has finished assigning queues. In addition, change the dmesg output to explicitly show the actual function that failed, instead of combining reset_hw and init_hw into a single check, to help for future debugging.

VF drivers must detect how many queues are available. Previously, the driver assumed that each VF has at minimum 1 queue. This assumption is incorrect, since it is possible that the PF has not yet assigned the queues to the VF by the time the VF checks. To resolve this, we added a check first to ensure that the first queue is infact owned by the VF at init_hw_vf time. However, the code flow did not reset hw->mac.max_queues to 0. In some cases, such as during reinit flows, we call init_hw_vf without clearing the previous value of hw->mac.max_queues. Due to this, when init_hw_vf errors out, if its error code is not properly handled the VF driver may still believe it has queues which no longer belong to it. Fix this by clearing the hw->mac.max_queues on exit due to errors.

A change in MCFW behaviour means that the net driver must update its record of the warm_boot_count by reading it from the ER_DZ_BIU_MC_SFT_STATUS register. On v4.6.x MCFW the global boot count was incremented when some functions needed to be reset to enable multicast chaining, so all functions saw the same value. In that case, the driver needed to increment its warm_boot_count when other functions were reset, to avoid noticing it later and then trying to reset itself to recover unnecessarily. With v4.7+ MCFW, the boot count in firmware doesn't change as that is unnecessary since the PFs that have been reset will each receive an MC reboot notification. In that case, the driver re-reads the unchanged value. Signed-off-by: Bert Kenward <bkenward@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The current code first unregisters the device, and then detaches the protocol from it.

Bjørn Mork says: ==================== net: qmi_wwan: MDM9x30 support We add new device IDs all the time, often without any testing on actual hardware. This is usually OK as long as the device is similar to already supported devices, using the same chipset and firmware basis. But the Sierra Wireless MC7455 is an example of a new chipset generation. Adding it based on assumed similarity with its ancestors proved too optimistic. This series adds the missing bits and pieces necessary to support LTE Advanced modems based on the Qualcomm MDM9x30 chipset. A big thanks to Sierra Wireless for providing MC7455 samples for testing The most important change is the "raw-ip" support. The series also adds a necessary control request, removes an unsupported device ID, and adds a driver specific entry in MAINTAINERS. A few random notes about "raw-ip": "I rather have these all running in raw IP mode. The 802.3 framing is utterly stupid." - Marcel Holtmann in Jan 2012 [1] Marcel was right. I should have listened to him. What more can I say? The 802.3 framing has provided a steady supply of firmware bugs for many years. We've added driver workarounds for many of these, but there are still known bugs where the workaround is so yucky that we have refused to apply it. But all that is over now. The latest generation Qualcomm chips no longer supports 802.3 framing at all. I had two open questions regarding the "raw-ip" userspace API: 1) Should we continue faking an ethernet device, even if we don't use the L2 headers on the USB link anymore? There was a vote in favour of the "headerless" device. This is the honest representation of the hardware/firmware interface. 2) What input should the driver base its framing on? Snooping or directly manipulating QMI is considered out of the question. We delegated all QMI handling to userspace from the beginning. We have so far required userspace to configure the firmware for "802.3" framing, or fail if that proved impossible. This requirement is now changed. Userspace must now inform the driver if it negotiates "raw-ip" framing. Two alternative interfaces were proposed: - ethtool private driver flag, or - sysfs file The NetworkManager/ModemManager developers were in favour of the sysfs alternative. These questions (or any other you migh have :) are of course still open. This patch set presents the solutions I currently prefer, considering the above. All comments are appreciated, even simple '+1' ones. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

QMI wwan devices have traditionally emulated ethernet devices by default. But they have always had the capability of operating without any L2 header at all, transmitting and receiving "raw" IP packets over the USB link. This firmware feature used to be configurable through the QMI management protocol. Traditionally there was no way to verify the firmware mode without attempting to change it. And the firmware would often disallow changes anyway, i.e. due to a session already being established. In some cases, this could be a hidden firmware internal session, completely outside host control. For these reasons, sticking with the "well known" default mode was safest. But newer generations of QMI hardware and firmware have moved towards defaulting to "raw IP" mode instead, followed by an increasing number of bugs in the already buggy "802.3" firmware implementation. At the same time, the QMI management protocol gained the ability to detect the current mode. This has enabled the userspace QMI management application to verify the current firmware mode without trying to modify it. Following this development, the latest QMI hardware and firmware (the MDM9x30 generation) has dropped support for "802.3" mode entirely. Support for "raw IP" framing in the driver is therefore necessary for these devices, and to a certain degree to work around problems with the previous generation, This patch adds support for "raw IP" framing for QMI devices, changing the netdev from an ethernet device to an ARPHRD_NONE p-t-p device when "raw IP" framing is enabled. The firmware setup is fully delegated to the QMI userspace management application, through simple tunneling of the QMI protocol. The driver will therefore not know which mode has been "negotiated" between firmware and userspace. Allowing userspace to inform the driver of the result through a sysfs switch is considered a better alternative than to change the well established clean delegation of firmware management to userspace.

MDM9x30 based modems appear to go into a deeper sleep when suspended without "Remote Wakeup" enabled. The QMI interface will not respond unless a "set DTR" control request is sent on resume. The effect is similar to a QMI_CTL SYNC request, resetting (some of) the firmware state. We allow userspace sessions to span multiple character device open/close sequences. This means that userspace can depend on firmware state while both the netdev and the character device are closed. We have disabled "needs_remote_wakeup" at this point to allow devices without remote wakeup support to be auto-suspended. To make sure the MDM9x30 keeps firmware state, we need to keep "needs_remote_wakeup" always set. We also need to issue a "set DTR" request to enable the QMI interface.

These hash defines are doing a similar job as implicit type bool would do. So these are kind of duplicate and are redundant. PATCH V5: This PATCH addresses the review comments by Yuval Mintz <Yuval.Mintz@qlogic.com>.

Hip06 is a multi-core SoC and is a derivative of Hip05 SoC with lots of new hardware featres supported like RSS, TSO, hardware VLAN assist etc. The changes in the driver are mainly due to following: 1) changes in the DMA descriptor provided by the Hip06 ethernet hardware. These changes need to co-exist with already present Hip05 DMA descriptor and its operating functions. The decision to choose the correct type of DMA descriptor is taken dynamically depending upon the version of the hardware (i.e. V1/hip05 or V2/hip06, see already existing hisilicon-hns-nic.txt binding file for the detailed description version and naming). 2) To support new features added to the Hip06 ethernet hardware: a. RSS (Receive Side Scaling) b. TSO (TCP Segment Offload) c. Hardware VLAN support (currently we are initializing hardware to not assist in stripping the vlan tag at hardware level. Proper support of this feature and ethtool would come after these patches have been accepted) Kindly note that, this patchset has been based on latest net-next. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
