libie: depend on DEBUG_FS when building LIBIE_FWLOG

2025-11-06T01:38:03Z

LIBIE_FWLOG is unusable without DEBUG_FS. Mark it in Kconfig. Fix build error on ixgbe when DEBUG_FS is not set. To not add another layer of #if IS_ENABLED(LIBIE_FWLOG) in ixgbe fwlog code define debugfs dentry even when DEBUG_FS isn't enabled. In this case the dummy functions of LIBIE_FWLOG will be used, so not initialized dentry isn't a problem.

ixgbe: fwlog support for e610

2025-09-11T19:10:52Z

The device support firmware logging feature. Use libie code to initialize it and allow reading the logs using debugfs. The commands are the same as in ice driver. Look at the description in commit 96a9a9341cda ("ice: configure FW logging") for more info.

There is no need to store the err string in hw->err_str. Simplify it and use common helper. hw->err_str is still used for other purpouse. It should be marked that previously for unknown error the numeric value was passed as a string. Now the "LIBIE_AQ_RC_UNKNOWN" is used for such cases. Add libie_aminq module in i40e Kconfig.

igc: add support for frame preemption verification

2025-04-18T16:16:58Z

This patch implements the "ethtool --set-mm" callback to trigger the frame preemption verification handshake. Uses the MAC Merge Software Verification (mmsv) mechanism in ethtool to perform the verification handshake for igc. The structure fpe.mmsv is set by mmsv in ethtool and should remain read-only for the driver. Other mmsv callbacks: a) configure_tx() -> not used yet at this point - igc lacks registers to configure FPE in the transmit direction, so this API is not utilized for now. When igc supports preemptible queue, driver will use this API to manage its configuration. b) configure_pmac() -> not used - this callback dynamically controls pmac_enabled at runtime. For example, mmsv calls configure_pmac() and disables pmac_enabled when the link partner goes down, even if the user previously enabled it. The intention is to save power but it is not feasible in igc because it causes an endless adapter reset loop: 1) Board A and Board B complete the verification handshake. Tx mode register for both boards are in TSN mode. 2) Board B link goes down. On Board A: 3) mmsv calls configure_pmac() with pmac_enabled = false. 4) configure_pmac() in igc updates a new field based on pmac_enabled. Driver uses this field in igc_tsn_new_flags() to indicate that the user enabled/disabled FPE. 5) configure_pmac() in igc calls igc_tsn_offload_apply() to check whether an adapter reset is needed. Calls existing logic in igc_tsn_will_tx_mode_change() and igc_tsn_new_flags(). 6) Since pmac_enabled is now disabled and no other TSN feature is active, igc_tsn_will_tx_mode_change() evaluates to true because Tx mode will switch from TSN to Legacy. 7) Driver resets the adapter. 8) Registers are set, and Tx mode switches to Legacy. 9) When link partner is up, steps 3-8 repeat, but this time with pmac_enabled = true, reactivating TSN. igc_tsn_will_tx_mode_change() evaluates to true again, since Tx mode will switch from Legacy to TSN. 10) Driver resets the adapter. 11) Adapter reset completes, registers are set, and Tx mode switches to TSN. On Board B: 12) Adapter reset on Board A at step 10 causes it to detect its link partner as down. 13) Repeats steps 3-8. 14) Once reset adapter on Board A is completed at step 11, it detects its link partner as up. 15) Repeats steps 9-11. - this cycle repeats indefinitely. To avoid this issue, igc only uses mmsv.pmac_enabled to track whether FPE is enabled or disabled.

ixgbe: add device flash update via devlink

2025-04-15T14:36:32Z

Use the pldmfw library to implement device flash update for the Intel ixgbe networking device driver specifically for E610 devices. This support uses the devlink flash update interface. Using the pldmfw library, the provided firmware file will be scanned for the three major components, "fw.undi" for the Option ROM, "fw.mgmt" for the main NVM module containing the primary device firmware, and "fw.netlist" containing the netlist module. The flash is separated into two banks, the active bank containing the running firmware, and the inactive bank which we use for update. Each module is updated in a staged process. First, the inactive bank is erased, preparing the device for update. Second, the contents of the component are copied to the inactive portion of the flash. After all components are updated, the driver signals the device to switch the active bank during the next EMP reset. With this implementation, basic flash update for the E610 hardware is supported.

ixgbe: add initial devlink support

2025-04-15T14:36:32Z

Add an initial support for devlink interface to ixgbe driver. Similarly to i40e driver the implementation doesn't enable devlink to manage device-wide configuration. Devlink instance is created for each physical function of PCIe device. Create separate directory for devlink related ixgbe files and use naming scheme similar to the one used in the ice driver. Add a stub for Documentation, to be extended by further patches. Change struct ixgbe_adapter allocation to be done by devlink (Przemek), as suggested by Jiri.

iavf: add initial framework for registering PTP clock

2025-02-14T18:58:07Z

Add the iavf_ptp.c file and fill it in with a skeleton framework to allow registering the PTP clock device. Add implementation of helper functions to check if a PTP capability is supported and handle change in PTP capabilities. Enabling virtual clock would be possible, though it would probably perform poorly due to the lack of direct time access.
