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: set the MAC address using MC_CMD_VADAPTOR_SET_MAC

2015-05-21T22:43:55Z

Add a set_mac_address() NIC-type function for EF10 only, and use this to set the MAC address on the vadaptor. For Siena and earlier, the MAC address continues to be set by MC_CMD_SET_MAC; this is still called on EF10, and including a MAC address in this command has no effect. The sriov_mac_address_changed() NIC-type function is no longer needed on EF10, but it is needed for Siena where it is used to update the peer address of the PF for VFDI. Change this to use the new set_mac_address function pointer. efx_ef10_sriov_mac_address_changed() is no longer called, as VFs will try to change the MAC address on their vadaptor rather than trying to change to the context of the PF to alter the vport. When a VF is running in direct passthrough mode with MAC spoofing enabled, it will be able to change the MAC address on its vadaptor. In this case, there is a link to the PF, so find the correct VF in its ef10_vf array and update the MAC address. ndo_set_mac_address() can be called during driver unload while bonding, and in this case the device has already been stopped, so don't call efx_net_open() to restart it after reconfiguration. efx->port_enabled is set to false in efx_stop_port(), so it is indicator of whether the device needs to be restarted.

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: create VEB vswitch and vport above default firmware setup

2015-05-09T20:16:47Z

Adds functions to allocate and free vswitches and vports; vadaptors are automatically allocated and freed when TX/RX queues are initialised and finalised. This vswitching structure is only created if the firmware supports it, so a check that full-featured firmware is running is performed first. If the MC resets, the vswitching infrastructure will need to be recreated, so mark the "must_probe_vswitching" flag when an MC reboot is detected. Don't try to create a vswitch if vf-count=0 This allocation of vswitches and vports does not currently support configuring VLAN tags, but that can be added in a future change.

sfc: Enable VF's via a write to the sysfs file sriov_numvfs

2015-05-09T20:16:46Z

This patch adds support for the use of sriov_configure on EF10 to enable Virtual Functions while the driver is loaded. 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

net/ethernet/sfc: Don't use of_node_to_eeh_dev()

2015-03-24T02:12:45Z

This is deprecated, it forces the driver to hop via the OF node that may or may not exist, instead use pci_dev_to_eeh_dev() which is simpler. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Acked-by: Shradha Shah
