sfc: Allow driver to cope with a lower number of VIs than it needs for RSS

2015-08-28T20:53:47Z

Previously, the driver would refuse to load if it couldn't secure enough VIs from the MC to fulfill its RSS requirements. This was causing probe to fail on later functions in configurations where we'd run out of VIs, such as having many VFs. This change allows the driver to load with fewer VIs, down to a minimum of 2. A warning will be printed saying that RSS requirements were not met, possibly affecting performance. efx->max_tx_channels needs to be set to avoid going down the failure path in efx_probe_nic() immediately in the loop after the probe() NIC-type function. Also, Set rc=ENOSPC when bombing out of efx_probe_nic due to lack of VIs. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Bind the sfc driver to any available VF's

2015-05-09T20:16:48Z

Add the device ID of the VF to the PCI device ID table. Added a boolean flag is_vf in efx_nic_type to differentiate between a VF and PF at probe time. This flag is useful in later patches while setting MAC address specially in the PCI-passthrough case. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Add use of shared RSS contexts.

2015-05-09T20:16:48Z

Allow PFs to allocate shared RSS contexts if we exhaust our exclusive RSS contexts. Make VFs use shared RSS contexts in all cases. Spruce up error handling so that the shadow copy of the RSS table is updated after successful update, rather than in all cases, so that we report the actual contents of the RSS table after a failure to set it, rather than what we'd like it to be. Populate context_size parameter when vacuously allocating RSS context of size 1. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Prepare to bind the sfc driver to the VF.

2015-05-09T20:16:47Z

Added efx_nic_type structure for VF. Mapped a different BAR for VF as it uses BAR 0 for memory. Added functions sriov_init and sriov_fini. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Own header for nic-specific sriov functions, single instance of netdev_ops and sriov removed from Falcon code

2015-05-09T20:16:46Z

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. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Add NIC type operations to replace direct calls from efx.c into siena_sriov.c

2014-11-06T19:43:09Z

Also add dummy functions where required to avoid NULL pointer dereference. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: add extra RX drop counters for nodesc_trunc and noskb_drop

2014-07-16T05:53:34Z

Added a counter rx_noskb_drop for failure to allocate an skb. Summed the per-channel rx_nodesc_trunc counters earlier so that they can be included in rx_dropped. Signed-off-by: Edward Cree Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc:On MCDI timeout, issue an FLR (and mark MCDI to fail-fast)

2014-04-16T18:33:57Z

When an MCDI command times out (whether or not we find it completed when we poll), call efx_mcdi_abandon(), which tells all subsequent MCDI calls to fail-fast, and queues up an FLR. Because an FLR doesn't lead to receiving any reboot even from the MC (unlike most other types of reset), we have to call efx_ef10_reset_mc_allocations. In efx_start_all(), if a reset (of any kind) is pending, we bail out. Without this, attempts to reconfigure (e.g. change mtu) can cause driver/mc state inconsistency if the first MCDI call triggers an FLR. For similar reasons, on EF10, in efx_reset_down(method=RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT), set the number of active queues to zero before calling efx_stop_all(). And, on farch, in efx_reset_up(method=RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT), set active_queues and flushes pending & outstanding to zero. efx_mcdi_mode_{poll,event}() should not take us out of fail-fast mode. Instead, this is done by efx_mcdi_reset() after the FLR completes. The new FLR reset_type RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT doesn't really fit into the hierarchy of reset 'scopes' whereby efx_reset() decides some resets subsume others. Thus, it uses separate logic. Also, fixed up some inconsistency around RESET_TYPE_MC_BIST, which was in the wrong place in that hierarchy. Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Use ether_addr_copy and eth_broadcast_addr

2014-03-10T17:53:37Z

Faster than memcpy/memset on some architectures. Signed-off-by: Edward Cree Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Add/remove blank lines to taste

2014-02-12T22:53:35Z

Remove trailing blank lines in several files. Use only one blank line between functions. Add a blank line as a separator in a few places. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Shradha Shah Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
