+Linux kernel driver for Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) family:
+=============================================================
+
+Overview:
+=========
+ENA is a networking interface designed to make good use of modern CPU
+features and system architectures.
+
+The ENA device exposes a lightweight management interface with a
+minimal set of memory mapped registers and extendable command set
+through an Admin Queue.
+
+The driver supports a range of ENA devices, is link-speed independent
+(i.e., the same driver is used for 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, etc.), and has
+a negotiated and extendable feature set.
+
+Some ENA devices support SR-IOV. This driver is used for both the
+SR-IOV Physical Function (PF) and Virtual Function (VF) devices.
+
+ENA devices enable high speed and low overhead network traffic
+processing by providing multiple Tx/Rx queue pairs (the maximum number
+is advertised by the device via the Admin Queue), a dedicated MSI-X
+interrupt vector per Tx/Rx queue pair, adaptive interrupt moderation,
+and CPU cacheline optimized data placement.
+
+The ENA driver supports industry standard TCP/IP offload features such
+as checksum offload and TCP transmit segmentation offload (TSO).
+Receive-side scaling (RSS) is supported for multi-core scaling.
+
+The ENA driver and its corresponding devices implement health
+monitoring mechanisms such as watchdog, enabling the device and driver
+to recover in a manner transparent to the application, as well as
+debug logs.
+
+Some of the ENA devices support a working mode called Low-latency
+Queue (LLQ), which saves several more microseconds.
+
+Supported PCI vendor ID/device IDs:
+===================================
+1d0f:0ec2 - ENA PF
+1d0f:1ec2 - ENA PF with LLQ support
+1d0f:ec20 - ENA VF
+1d0f:ec21 - ENA VF with LLQ support
+
+ENA Source Code Directory Structure:
+====================================
+ena_com.[ch] - Management communication layer. This layer is
+ responsible for the handling all the management
+ (admin) communication between the device and the
+ driver.
+ena_eth_com.[ch] - Tx/Rx data path.
+ena_admin_defs.h - Definition of ENA management interface.
+ena_eth_io_defs.h - Definition of ENA data path interface.
+ena_common_defs.h - Common definitions for ena_com layer.
+ena_regs_defs.h - Definition of ENA PCI memory-mapped (MMIO) registers.
+ena_netdev.[ch] - Main Linux kernel driver.
+ena_syfsfs.[ch] - Sysfs files.
+ena_ethtool.c - ethtool callbacks.
+ena_pci_id_tbl.h - Supported device IDs.
+
+Management Interface:
+=====================
+ENA management interface is exposed by means of:
+- PCIe Configuration Space
+- Device Registers
+- Admin Queue (AQ) and Admin Completion Queue (ACQ)
+- Asynchronous Event Notification Queue (AENQ)
+
+ENA device MMIO Registers are accessed only during driver
+initialization and are not involved in further normal device
+operation.
+
+AQ is used for submitting management commands, and the
+results/responses are reported asynchronously through ACQ.
+
+ENA introduces a very small set of management commands with room for
+vendor-specific extensions. Most of the management operations are
+framed in a generic Get/Set feature command.
+
+The following admin queue commands are supported:
+- Create I/O submission queue
+- Create I/O completion queue
+- Destroy I/O submission queue
+- Destroy I/O completion queue
+- Get feature
+- Set feature
+- Configure AENQ
+- Get statistics
+
+Refer to ena_admin_defs.h for the list of supported Get/Set Feature
+properties.
+
+The Asynchronous Event Notification Queue (AENQ) is a uni-directional
+queue used by the ENA device to send to the driver events that cannot
+be reported using ACQ. AENQ events are subdivided into groups. Each
+group may have multiple syndromes, as shown below
+
+The events are:
+ Group Syndrome
+ Link state change - X -
+ Fatal error - X -
+ Notification Suspend traffic
+ Notification Resume traffic
+ Keep-Alive - X -
+
+ACQ and AENQ share the same MSI-X vector.
+
+Keep-Alive is a special mechanism that allows monitoring of the
+device's health. The driver maintains a watchdog (WD) handler which,
+if fired, logs the current state and statistics then resets and
+restarts the ENA device and driver. A Keep-Alive event is delivered by
+the device every second. The driver re-arms the WD upon reception of a
+Keep-Alive event. A missed Keep-Alive event causes the WD handler to
+fire.
+
+Data Path Interface:
+====================
+I/O operations are based on Tx and Rx Submission Queues (Tx SQ and Rx
+SQ correspondingly). Each SQ has a completion queue (CQ) associated
+with it.
+
+The SQs and CQs are implemented as descriptor rings in contiguous
+physical memory.
+
+The ENA driver supports two Queue Operation modes for Tx SQs:
+- Regular mode
+ * In this mode the Tx SQs reside in the host's memory. The ENA
+ device fetches the ENA Tx descriptors and packet data from host
+ memory.
+- Low Latency Queue (LLQ) mode or "push-mode".
+ * In this mode the driver pushes the transmit descriptors and the
+ first 128 bytes of the packet directly to the ENA device memory
+ space. The rest of the packet payload is fetched by the
+ device. For this operation mode, the driver uses a dedicated PCI
+ device memory BAR, which is mapped with write-combine capability.
+
+The Rx SQs support only the regular mode.
+
+Note: Not all ENA devices support LLQ, and this feature is negotiated
+ with the device upon initialization. If the ENA device does not
+ support LLQ mode, the driver falls back to the regular mode.
+
+The driver supports multi-queue for both Tx and Rx. This has various
+benefits:
+- Reduced CPU/thread/process contention on a given Ethernet interface.
+- Cache miss rate on completion is reduced, particularly for data
+ cache lines that hold the sk_buff structures.
+- Increased process-level parallelism when handling received packets.
+- Increased data cache hit rate, by steering kernel processing of
+ packets to the CPU, where the application thread consuming the
+ packet is running.
+- In hardware interrupt re-direction.
+
+Interrupt Modes:
+================
+The driver assigns a single MSI-X vector per queue pair (for both Tx
+and Rx directions). The driver assigns an additional dedicated MSI-X vector
+for management (for ACQ and AENQ).
+
+Management interrupt registration is performed when the Linux kernel
+probes the adapter, and it is de-registered when the adapter is
+removed. I/O queue interrupt registration is performed when the Linux
+interface of the adapter is opened, and it is de-registered when the
+interface is closed.
+
+The management interrupt is named:
+ ena-mgmnt@pci:<PCI domain:bus:slot.function>
+and for each queue pair, an interrupt is named:
+ <interface name>-Tx-Rx-<queue index>
+
+The ENA device operates in auto-mask and auto-clear interrupt
+modes. That is, once MSI-X is delivered to the host, its Cause bit is
+automatically cleared and the interrupt is masked. The interrupt is
+unmasked by the driver after NAPI processing is complete.
+
+Interrupt Moderation:
+=====================
+ENA driver and device can operate in conventional or adaptive interrupt
+moderation mode.
+
+In conventional mode the driver instructs device to postpone interrupt
+posting according to static interrupt delay value. The interrupt delay
+value can be configured through ethtool(8). The following ethtool
+parameters are supported by the driver: tx-usecs, rx-usecs
+
+In adaptive interrupt moderation mode the interrupt delay value is
+updated by the driver dynamically and adjusted every NAPI cycle
+according to the traffic nature.
+
+By default ENA driver applies adaptive coalescing on Rx traffic and
+conventional coalescing on Tx traffic.
+
+Adaptive coalescing can be switched on/off through ethtool(8)
+adaptive_rx on|off parameter.
+
+The driver chooses interrupt delay value according to the number of
+bytes and packets received between interrupt unmasking and interrupt
+posting. The driver uses interrupt delay table that subdivides the
+range of received bytes/packets into 5 levels and assigns interrupt
+delay value to each level.
+
+The user can enable/disable adaptive moderation, modify the interrupt
+delay table and restore its default values through sysfs.
+
+The rx_copybreak is initialized by default to ENA_DEFAULT_RX_COPYBREAK
+and can be configured by the ETHTOOL_STUNABLE command of the
+SIOCETHTOOL ioctl.
+
+SKB:
+The driver-allocated SKB for frames received from Rx handling using
+NAPI context. The allocation method depends on the size of the packet.
+If the frame length is larger than rx_copybreak, napi_get_frags()
+is used, otherwise netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() is used, the buffer
+content is copied (by CPU) to the SKB, and the buffer is recycled.
+
+Statistics:
+===========
+The user can obtain ENA device and driver statistics using ethtool.
+The driver can collect regular or extended statistics (including
+per-queue stats) from the device.
+
+In addition the driver logs the stats to syslog upon device reset.
+
+MTU:
+====
+The driver supports an arbitrarily large MTU with a maximum that is
+negotiated with the device. The driver configures MTU using the
+SetFeature command (ENA_ADMIN_MTU property). The user can change MTU
+via ip(8) and similar legacy tools.
+
+Stateless Offloads:
+===================
+The ENA driver supports:
+- TSO over IPv4/IPv6
+- TSO with ECN
+- IPv4 header checksum offload
+- TCP/UDP over IPv4/IPv6 checksum offloads
+
+RSS:
+====
+- The ENA device supports RSS that allows flexible Rx traffic
+ steering.
+- Toeplitz and CRC32 hash functions are supported.
+- Different combinations of L2/L3/L4 fields can be configured as
+ inputs for hash functions.
+- The driver configures RSS settings using the AQ SetFeature command
+ (ENA_ADMIN_RSS_HASH_FUNCTION, ENA_ADMIN_RSS_HASH_INPUT and
+ ENA_ADMIN_RSS_REDIRECTION_TABLE_CONFIG properties).
+- If the NETIF_F_RXHASH flag is set, the 32-bit result of the hash
+ function delivered in the Rx CQ descriptor is set in the received
+ SKB.
+- The user can provide a hash key, hash function, and configure the
+ indirection table through ethtool(8).
+
+DATA PATH:
+==========
+Tx:
+---
+end_start_xmit() is called by the stack. This function does the following:
+- Maps data buffers (skb->data and frags).
+- Populates ena_buf for the push buffer (if the driver and device are
+ in push mode.)
+- Prepares ENA bufs for the remaining frags.
+- Allocates a new request ID from the empty req_id ring. The request
+ ID is the index of the packet in the Tx info. This is used for
+ out-of-order TX completions.
+- Adds the packet to the proper place in the Tx ring.
+- Calls ena_com_prepare_tx(), an ENA communication layer that converts
+ the ena_bufs to ENA descriptors (and adds meta ENA descriptors as
+ needed.)
+ * This function also copies the ENA descriptors and the push buffer
+ to the Device memory space (if in push mode.)
+- Writes doorbell to the ENA device.
+- When the ENA device finishes sending the packet, a completion
+ interrupt is raised.
+- The interrupt handler schedules NAPI.
+- The ena_clean_tx_irq() function is called. This function handles the
+ completion descriptors generated by the ENA, with a single
+ completion descriptor per completed packet.
+ * req_id is retrieved from the completion descriptor. The tx_info of
+ the packet is retrieved via the req_id. The data buffers are
+ unmapped and req_id is returned to the empty req_id ring.
+ * The function stops when the completion descriptors are completed or
+ the budget is reached.
+
+Rx:
+---
+- When a packet is received from the ENA device.
+- The interrupt handler schedules NAPI.
+- The ena_clean_rx_irq() function is called. This function calls
+ ena_rx_pkt(), an ENA communication layer function, which returns the
+ number of descriptors used for a new unhandled packet, and zero if
+ no new packet is found.
+- Then it calls the ena_clean_rx_irq() function.
+- ena_eth_rx_skb() checks packet length:
+ * If the packet is small (len < rx_copybreak), the driver allocates
+ a SKB for the new packet, and copies the packet payload into the
+ SKB data buffer.
+ - In this way the original data buffer is not passed to the stack
+ and is reused for future Rx packets.
+ * Otherwise the function unmaps the Rx buffer, then allocates the
+ new SKB structure and hooks the Rx buffer to the SKB frags.
+- The new SKB is updated with the necessary information (protocol,
+ checksum hw verify result, etc.), and then passed to the network
+ stack, using the NAPI interface function napi_gro_receive().

+Stream Parser
+-------------
+
+The stream parser (strparser) is a utility that parses messages of an
+application layer protocol running over a TCP connection. The stream
+parser works in conjunction with an upper layer in the kernel to provide
+kernel support for application layer messages. For instance, Kernel
+Connection Multiplexor (KCM) uses the Stream Parser to parse messages
+using a BPF program.
+
+Interface
+---------
+
+The API includes a context structure, a set of callbacks, utility
+functions, and a data_ready function. The callbacks include
+a parse_msg function that is called to perform parsing (e.g.
+BPF parsing in case of KCM), and a rcv_msg function that is called
+when a full message has been completed.
+
+A stream parser can be instantiated for a TCP connection. This is done
+by:
+
+strp_init(struct strparser *strp, struct sock *csk,
+ struct strp_callbacks *cb)
+
+strp is a struct of type strparser that is allocated by the upper layer.
+csk is the TCP socket associated with the stream parser. Callbacks are
+called by the stream parser.
+
+Callbacks
+---------
+
+There are four callbacks:
+
+int (*parse_msg)(struct strparser *strp, struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+ parse_msg is called to determine the length of the next message
+ in the stream. The upper layer must implement this function. It
+ should parse the sk_buff as containing the headers for the
+ next application layer messages in the stream.
+
+ The skb->cb in the input skb is a struct strp_rx_msg. Only
+ the offset field is relevant in parse_msg and gives the offset
+ where the message starts in the skb.
+
+ The return values of this function are:
+
+ >0 : indicates length of successfully parsed message
+ 0 : indicates more data must be received to parse the message
+ -ESTRPIPE : current message should not be processed by the
+ kernel, return control of the socket to userspace which
+ can proceed to read the messages itself
+ other < 0 : Error is parsing, give control back to userspace
+ assuming that synchronization is lost and the stream
+ is unrecoverable (application expected to close TCP socket)
+
+ In the case that an error is returned (return value is less than
+ zero) the stream parser will set the error on TCP socket and wake
+ it up. If parse_msg returned -ESTRPIPE and the stream parser had
+ previously read some bytes for the current message, then the error
+ set on the attached socket is ENODATA since the stream is
+ unrecoverable in that case.
+
+void (*rcv_msg)(struct strparser *strp, struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+ rcv_msg is called when a full message has been received and
+ is queued. The callee must consume the sk_buff; it can
+ call strp_pause to prevent any further messages from being
+ received in rcv_msg (see strp_pause below). This callback
+ must be set.
+
+ The skb->cb in the input skb is a struct strp_rx_msg. This
+ struct contains two fields: offset and full_len. Offset is
+ where the message starts in the skb, and full_len is the
+ the length of the message. skb->len - offset may be greater
+ then full_len since strparser does not trim the skb.
+
+int (*read_sock_done)(struct strparser *strp, int err);
+
+ read_sock_done is called when the stream parser is done reading
+ the TCP socket. The stream parser may read multiple messages
+ in a loop and this function allows cleanup to occur when existing
+ the loop. If the callback is not set (NULL in strp_init) a
+ default function is used.
+
+void (*abort_parser)(struct strparser *strp, int err);
+
+ This function is called when stream parser encounters an error
+ in parsing. The default function stops the stream parser for the
+ TCP socket and sets the error in the socket. The default function
+ can be changed by setting the callback to non-NULL in strp_init.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+The upper layer calls strp_tcp_data_ready when data is ready on the lower
+socket for strparser to process. This should be called from a data_ready
+callback that is set on the socket.
+
+strp_stop is called to completely stop stream parser operations. This
+is called internally when the stream parser encounters an error, and
+it is called from the upper layer when unattaching a TCP socket.
+
+strp_done is called to unattach the stream parser from the TCP socket.
+This must be called after the stream processor has be stopped.
+
+strp_check_rcv is called to check for new messages on the socket. This
+is normally called at initialization of the a stream parser instance
+of after strp_unpause.
+
+Statistics
+----------
+
+Various counters are kept for each stream parser for a TCP socket.
+These are in the strp_stats structure. strp_aggr_stats is a convenience
+structure for accumulating statistics for multiple stream parser
+instances. save_strp_stats and aggregate_strp_stats are helper functions
+to save and aggregate statistics.
+
+Message assembly limits
+-----------------------
+
+The stream parser provide mechanisms to limit the resources consumed by
+message assembly.
+
+A timer is set when assembly starts for a new message. The message
+timeout is taken from rcvtime for the associated TCP socket. If the
+timer fires before assembly completes the stream parser is aborted
+and the ETIMEDOUT error is set on the TCP socket.
+
+Message length is limited to the receive buffer size of the associated
+TCP socket. If the length returned by parse_msg is greater than
+the socket buffer size then the stream parser is aborted with
+EMSGSIZE error set on the TCP socket. Note that this makes the
+maximum size of receive skbuffs for a socket with a stream parser
+to be 2*sk_rcvbuf of the TCP socket.
