<id>urn:sha1:7fa8d547049aae543a5f21f1fe0e14414f1e7fdc</id>
<content type='text'>
By putting all the efx_{siena,ef10}_sriov_* declarations in
{siena,ef10}_sriov.h, ensure they cannot be called from nic-generic code.
Also fixes up an instance of this, where mcdi.c was calling
efx_siena_sriov_flr.

The single instance of netdev_ops should call general high level
functions that can then call something adapter specific in efx_nic_type.
We should only do adapter specialisation via efx_nic_type.

Removal of sriov functionality from the Falcon code means that tests
are needed for the presence of some callbacks.

<id>urn:sha1:8127d661e77f5ec410093bce411f540afa34593f</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds support for the EF10 network controller architecture and the
SFC9100 family, starting with SFC9120 'Farmingdale', and bumps the
driver version to 4.0.

New features in the SFC9100 family include:

- Flexible allocation of internal resources to PCIe physical and virtual
  functions under firmware control
- RX event merging to reduce DMA writes at high packet rates
- Integrated RX timestamping
- PIO buffers for lower TX latency
- Firmware-driven data path that supports additional offload features
  and filter types
- Delivery of packets between functions and to multiple recipients,
  allowing firmware to implement a vswitch
- Multiple RX flow hash (RSS) contexts with their own hash keys and
  indirection tables
- 40G MAC (single port only)

...not all of which are enabled in this initial driver or the initial
firmware release.

Much of the new code is by Jon Cooper.

<title>sfc: Make most filter operations NIC-type-specific</title>

<content type='text'>
Aside from accelerated RFS, there is almost nothing that can be shared
between the filter table implementations for the Falcon architecture
and EF10.

Move the few shared functions into efx.c and rx.c and the rest into
farch.c.  Introduce efx_nic_type operations for the implementation and
inline wrapper functions that call these.

<id>urn:sha1:86094f7f38ff711f3db8497fcb4d2e109100f497</id>
<content type='text'>
Add efx_nic_type operations for the many efx_nic functions that need
to be implemented different on EF10.  For now, change most of the
existing efx_nic_*() functions into inline wrappers.  As a later step,
we may be able to improve branch prediction for operations used on the
fast path by copying the pointers into each queue/channel structure.

Move the Falcon/Siena implementations to new file farch.c and rename
the functions and static data to use a prefix of 'efx_farch_'.

Move efx_may_push_tx_desc() to nic.h, as the EF10 TX code will also
use it.

<content type='text'>
Where a PTP clock driver is associated with a net or PHY driver, it
should be enabled automatically whenever that driver is enabled.
Therefore:

- Make PTP clock drivers select rather than depending on PTP_1588_CLOCK
- Remove separate boolean options for PTP clock drivers that are built
  as part of net driver modules.  (This also fixes cases where the PTP
  subsystem is wrongly forced to be built-in.)
- Set 'default y' for PTP clock drivers that depend on specific net
  drivers but are built separately

<title>sfc: Add SR-IOV back-end support for SFC9000 family</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cd2d5b529cdb9bd274f3e4bc68d37d4d63b7f383</id>
<content type='text'>
On the SFC9000 family, each port has 1024 Virtual Interfaces (VIs),
each with an RX queue, a TX queue, an event queue and a mailbox
register.  These may be assigned to up to 127 SR-IOV virtual functions
per port, with up to 64 VIs per VF.

We allocate an extra channel (IRQ and event queue only) to receive
requests from VF drivers.

There is a per-port limit of 4 concurrent RX queue flushes, and queue
flushes may be initiated by the MC in response to a Function Level
Reset (FLR) of a VF.  Therefore, when SR-IOV is in use, we submit all
flush requests via the MC.

The RSS indirection table is shared with VFs, so the number of RX
queues used in the PF is limited to the number of VIs per VF.

This is almost entirely the work of Steve Hodgson, formerly
shodgson@solarflare.com.
