Rename the Intel Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function driver
(i40evf) to a new name (iavf) that is more consistent with
the ongoing maintenance of the driver as the universal VF driver
for multiple product lines.
This first patch fixes up the directory names and the .ko name,
intentionally ignoring the function names inside the driver
for now. Basically this is the simplest patch that gets
the rename done and will be followed by other patches that
rename the internal functions.
This patch also addresses a couple of string/name issues
and updates the Copyright year.
Also, made sure to add a MODULE_ALIAS to the old name.

The i40e_detect_recover_hung function uses the i40e_get_tx_pending
function to determine if there are packets stalled on the ring.
i40e_get_tx_pending calculates the pending packets using the head
writeback value and HW tail. If the queue is stopped and we lose the
interrupt to update our next_to_clean then we a) won't get another
interrupt to clean because queue is stopped b) we won't catch the
problem with i40e_detect_recover_hung because the HW values look like
there's no packets waiting to be transmitted. Using the SW values we
can catch the issue because next_to_clean will be out of sync with head
writeback.
This has the added benefit being less CPU intensive because we don't
need to reach into the hardware to get the values.

This patch replaces the existing mechanism for determining the correct
value to program for adaptive ITR with yet another new and more
complicated approach.
The basic idea from a 30K foot view is that this new approach will push the
Rx interrupt moderation up so that by default it starts in low latency and
is gradually pushed up into a higher latency setup as long as doing so
increases the number of packets processed, if the number of packets drops
to 4 to 1 per packet we will reset and just base our ITR on the size of the
packets being received. For Tx we leave it floating at a high interrupt
delay and do not pull it down unless we start processing more than 112
packets per interrupt. If we start exceeding that we will cut our interrupt
rates in half until we are back below 112.
The side effect of these patches are that we will be processing more
packets per interrupt. This is both a good and a bad thing as it means we
will not be blocking processing in the case of things like pktgen and XDP,
but we will also be consuming a bit more CPU in the cases of things such as
network throughput tests using netperf.
One delta from this versus the ixgbe version of the changes is that I have
made the interrupt moderation a bit more aggressive when we are in bulk
mode by moving our "goldilocks zone" up from 48 to 96 to 56 to 112. The
main motivation behind moving this is to address the fact that we need to
update less frequently, and have more fine grained control due to the
separate Tx and Rx ITR times.

This patch is mostly prep-work for replacing the current approach to
programming the dynamic aka adaptive ITR. Specifically here what we are
doing is splitting the Tx and Rx ITR each into two separate values.
The first value current_itr represents the current value of the register.
The second value target_itr represents the desired value of the register.
The general plan by doing this is to allow for deferring the update of the
ITR value under certain circumstances. For now we will work with what we
have, but in the future I hope to change the behavior so that we always
only update one ITR at a time using some simple logic to determine which
ITR requires an update.

Instead of using the register value for the defines when setting up the
ring ITR we can just use the actual values and avoid the use of shifts and
macros to translate between the values we have and the values we want.
This helps to make the code more readable as we can quickly translate from
one value to the other.

The CLEARPBA bit in the dynamic interrupt control register actually has
no effect either way on the hardware. As per errata 28 in the XL710
specification update the interrupt is actually cleared any time the
register is written with the INTENA_MSK bit set to 0. As such the act of
toggling the enable bit actually will trigger the interrupt being
cleared and could lead to potential lost events if auto-masking is
not enabled.

The logic for dynamic ITR update is confusing at best as there were odd
paths chosen for how to find the rings associated with a given queue based
on the vector index and other inconsistencies throughout the code.
This patch is an attempt to clean up the logic so that we can more easily
understand what is going on. Specifically if there is a Rx or Tx ring that
is enabled in dynamic mode on the q_vector it is allowed to override the
other side of the interrupt moderation. While it isn't correct all this
patch is doing is cleaning up the logic for now so that when we come
through and fix it we can more easily identify that this is wrong.
The other big change made here is that we replace references to:
vsi->rx_rings[q_vector->v_idx]->itr_setting
with:
q_vector->rx.ring->itr_setting
The general idea is we can avoid the long pointer chase since just
accessing q_vector->rx.ring is a single pointer access versus having to
chase down vsi->rx_rings, and then finding the pointer in the array, and
finally chasing down the itr_setting from there.

The rings are already split out into Tx and Rx rings so it doesn't make

The drivers for i40e and i40evf had a reg_idx value stored in the q_vector
that was going completely unused. I can only assume this was copied over
from ixgbe and nobody knew how to use it.
I'm going to make use of the value to avoid having to compute the vector
and thus the register index for multiple paths throughout the drivers.

In VFs, there is a known issue which can cause writebacks
to not occur when interrupts are disabled and there are
less than 4 descriptors resulting in TX timeout. Timeout
can also occur due to lost interrupt.
The current implementation for detecting and recovering
from hung queues in the PF is problematic because it actually
actively encourages lost interrupts. By triggering a SW
interrupt, interrupts are forced on. If we are already in
napi_poll and an interrupt fires, napi_poll will not be
rescheduled and the interrupt is effectively lost; thereby
potentially *causing* hung queues.
This patch checks whether packets are being processed between
every watchdog cycle and determine potential hung queue and
fires triggers SW interrupt only for that particular queue.

The original code for __i40e_chk_linearize didn't take into account the
fact that if a fragment is 16K in size or larger it has to be split over 2
descriptors and the smaller of those 2 descriptors will be on the trailing
edge of the transmit. As a result we can get into situations where we didn't
catch requests that could result in a Tx hang.
This patch takes care of that by subtracting the length of all but the
trailing edge of the stale fragment before we test for sum. By doing this
we can guarantee that we have all cases covered, including the case of a
fragment that spans multiple descriptors. We don't need to worry about
checking the inner portions of this since 12K is the maximum aligned DMA
size and that is larger than any MSS will ever be since the MTU limit for
jumbos is something on the order of 9K.

The original issue being fixed in this patch was seen with the ixgbe
driver, but the same issue exists with i40evf as well, as the code is
very similar. read_barrier_depends is not sufficient to ensure
loads following it are not speculatively loaded out of order
by the CPU, which can result in stale data being loaded, causing
potential system crashes.

This reverts commit 11f29003d6376fb123b7c3779dba49bb56fb0815.
I am reverting this as I am fairly certain this can result in a memory leak
when combined with the current page recycling scheme. Specifically we end
up attempting to allocate fewer buffers than we recycled and this results
in us rewinding the next to alloc pointer which leads to leaks when we
overwrite the rx_buffer_info when processing the next frame.

Hardware only fetches descriptors on cachelines of 8, essentially
ignoring the lower 3 bits of the tail register. Thus, it is pointless to
bump tail by an unaligned access as the hardware will ignore some of the
new descriptors we allocated. Thus, it's ideal if we can ensure tail
writes are always aligned to 8.
At first, it seems like we'd already do this, since we allocate
descriptors in batches which are a multiple of 8. Since we'd always
increment by a multiple of 8, it seems like the value should always be
aligned.
However, this ignores allocation failures. If we fail to allocate
a buffer, our tail register will become unaligned. Once it has become
unaligned it will essentially be stuck unaligned until a buffer
allocation happens to fail at the exact amount necessary to re-align it.
We can do better, by simply rounding down the number of buffers we're
about to allocate (cleaned_count) such that "next_to_clean
+ cleaned_count" is rounded to the nearest multiple of 8.
We do this by calculating how far off that value is and subtracting it
from the cleaned_count. This essentially defers allocation of buffers if
they're going to be ignored by hardware anyways, and re-aligns our
next_to_use and tail values after a failure to allocate a descriptor.
This calculation ensures that we always align the tail writes in a way
the hardware expects and don't unnecessarily allocate buffers which
won't be fetched immediately.

In the past we changed driver behavior to not clear the PBA when
re-enabling interrupts. This change was motivated by the flawed belief
that clearing the PBA would cause a lost interrupt if a receive
interrupt occurred while interrupts were disabled.
According to empirical testing this isn't the case. Additionally, the
data sheet specifically says that we should set the CLEARPBA bit when
re-enabling interrupts in a polling setup.

The dynamic ITR algorithm depends on a calculation of usecs which
assumes that the interrupts have been firing constantly at the interrupt
throttle rate. This is not guaranteed because we could have a low packet
rate, or have been polling in software.
We'll estimate whether this is the case by using jiffies to determine if
we've been too long. If the time difference of jiffies is larger we are
guaranteed to have an incorrect calculation. If the time difference of
jiffies is smaller we might have been polling some but the difference
shouldn't affect the calculation too much.
This ensures that we don't get stuck in BULK latency during certain rare
situations where we receive bursts of packets that force us into NAPI
polling.

Since commit c56625d59726 ("i40e/i40evf: change dynamic interrupt
thresholds") a new higher latency ITR setting called I40E_ULTRA_LATENCY
was added with a cryptic comment about how it was meant for adjusting Rx
more aggressively when streaming small packets.
This mode was attempting to calculate packets per second and then kick
in when we have a huge number of small packets.
Unfortunately, the ULTRA setting was kicking in for workloads it wasn't
intended for including single-thread UDP_STREAM workloads.
This wasn't caught for a variety of reasons. First, the ip_defrag
routines were improved somewhat which makes the UDP_STREAM test still
reasonable at 10GbE, even when dropped down to 8k interrupts a second.
Additionally, some other obvious workloads appear to work fine, such
as TCP_STREAM.
The number 40k doesn't make sense for a number of reasons. First, we
absolutely can do more than 40k packets per second. Second, we calculate
the value inline in an integer, which sometimes can overflow resulting
in using incorrect values.
If we fix this overflow it makes it even more likely that we'll enter
ULTRA mode which is the opposite of what we want.
The ULTRA mode was added originally as a way to reduce CPU utilization
during a small packet workload where we weren't keeping up anyways. It
should never have been kicking in during these other workloads.
Given the issues outlined above, let's remove the ULTRA latency mode. If
necessary, a better solution to the CPU utilization issue for small
packet workloads will be added in a future patch.

In commit 96db776a3682 ("i40e/vf: fix interrupt affinity bug")
we added some code to force exit of polling in case we did
not have the correct CPU. This is important since it was possible for
the IRQ affinity to be changed while the CPU is pegged at 100%. This can
result in the polling routine being stuck on the wrong CPU until
traffic finally stops.
Unfortunately, the implementation, "if the CPU is correct, exit as
normal, otherwise, fall-through to the end-polling exit" is incredibly
confusing to reason about. In this case, the normal flow looks like the
exception, while the exception actually occurs far away from the if
statement and comment.
We recently discovered and fixed a bug in this code because we were
incorrectly initializing the affinity mask.
Re-write the code so that the exceptional case is handled at the check,
rather than having the logic be spread through the regular exit flow.
This does end up with minor code duplication, but the resulting code is
much easier to reason about.
The new logic is identical, but inverted. If we are running on a CPU not
in our affinity mask, we'll exit polling. However, the code flow is much
easier to understand.
Note that we don't actually have to check for MSI-X, because in the MSI
case we'll only have one q_vector, but its default affinity mask should
be correct as it includes all CPUs when it's initialized. Further, we
could at some point add code to setup the notifier for the non-MSI-X
case and enable this workaround for that case too, if desired, though
there isn't much gain since its unlikely to be the common case.

Instead of assuming our flags fit within an unsigned long, use
DECLARE_BITMAP which will ensure that we always allocate enough space.
Additionally, use __I40E_STATE_SIZE__ markers as the last element of the
enumeration so that the size of the BITMAP is compile-time assigned
rather than programmer-time assigned. This ensures that potential future
flag additions do not actually overrun the array. This is especially
important as 32bit systems would only have 32bit longs instead of 64bit
longs as we generally have assumed in the prior code.
This change also removes a dereference of the state fields throughout
the code, so it does have a bit of code churn. The conversions were
automated using sed replacements with an alternation
s/&(vsi->back|vsi|pf)->state/\1->state/
s/&adapter->vsi.state/adapter->vsi.state/
For debugfs, we modify the printing so that we can display chunks of the
state value on new lines. This ensures that we can print the entire set
of state values. Additionally, we now print them as 08lx to ensure that
they display nicely.

makes code review easier, as it is more likely that future authors will
use the correct state field when checking bits. Previous commits already

incorrect.

This patch adds tracepoints to the i40e and i40evf drivers to which
BPF programs can be attached for feature testing and verification.
It's expected that an attached BPF program will identify and count or
log some interesting subset of traffic. The bcc-tools package is
helpful there for containing all the BPF arcana in a handy Python
wrapper. Though you can make these tracepoints log trace messages, the
messages themselves probably won't be very useful (other to verify the
tracepoint is being called while you're debugging your BPF program).
The idea here is that tracepoints have such low performance cost when
disabled that we can leave these in the upstream drivers. This may
eventually enable the instrumentation of unmodified customer systems
should the need arise to verify a NIC feature is working as expected.
In general this enables one set of feature verification tools to be
used on these drivers whether they're built with the kernel or
separately.
Users are advised against using these tracepoints for anything other
than a diagnostic tool. They have a performance impact when enabled,
and their exact placement and form may change as we see how well they
work in practice for the purposes above.

This patch fixes an issue I introduced when I converted the code over to
using the length field to determine if a descriptor was done or not. It
turns out that we are also processing programming descriptors in the Rx
path and need to have these processed even though the length field will be
0 on these packets. What will happen with a programming descriptor is that
we will receive a descriptor that has the SPH bit set, and the header
length and packet length fields cleared.
To account for this we should be checking for the bit for split header
being set even though we aren't actually using header split. This bit is
set in the length field to indicate if a programming descriptor response is
contained in the descriptor. Since we don't support header split we don't
need to perform the extra checks of using a fixed value for the entire
length field.
In addition I am moving the function for checking if a filter is a
programming status filter into the i40e_txrx.c file since there is no
longer support for FCoE it doesn't make sense to keep this file in i40e.h.

This patch is meant to improve the performance of the Rx path.
Specifically by using build_skb we have several distinct advantages.
In the case of small frames we were previously using a copy-break approach.
This means that we were allocating a page fragment to use for skb->head,
and were having to copy the packet into that region. Both of those calls
are now avoided since we just build the skb around the data.
In the case of large frames the gains are much more significant.
Specifically we were having to allocate skb->head, and copy the headers as
before. However in addition we were having to parse the header using
eth_get_headlen which could be quite expensive. All of this is avoided by
building the frame around the data. I have seen gains as high as 30% when
using VXLAN for instance due to just header pulling overhead.
Finally with all this in place it also sets us up to start looking at
enabling XDP. Specifically we now have a path in which the data is in the
page and the frame is built around it. So if we parse it with XDP before
we call build_skb we can take care of any necessary processing there.

This patch adds padding to the start of frames to make room for headroom
for us to eventually start using build_skb. Right now we guarantee at
least NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN, however we allocate more space if more is
available. For example on x86 the headroom should be 192 bytes.
On systems that have too large of a cache line size to support storing 1.5K
padding and shared info we default to using 3K buffers and reserve
everything that isn't used for skb_shared_info or the data buffer for
headroom.

There are situations where adding padding to the front and back of an Rx
buffer will require that we add additional padding. Specifically if
NET_IP_ALIGN is non-zero, or the MTU size is larger than 7.5K we would need
to use 2K buffers which leaves us with no room for the padding.
To preemptively address these cases I am adding support for 3K buffers to
the Rx path so that we can provide the additional padding needed in the
event of NET_IP_ALIGN being non-zero or a cache line being greater than 64.

This patch is meant to clean up the code in preparation for us adding
support for build_skb. Specifically we deconstruct i40e_fetch_buffer into
several functions so that those functions can later be reused when we add a
path for build_skb.
Specifically with this change we split out the code for adding a page to an
exiting skb.

This patch pulls out the code responsible for handling buffer recycling and
page counting and distributes it through several functions. This allows us
to commonize the bits that handle either freeing or recycling the buffers.
As far as the page count tracking one change to the logic is that
pagecnt_bias is decremented as soon as we call i40e_get_rx_buffer. It is
then the responsibility of the function that pulls the data to either
increment the pagecnt_bias if the buffer can be recycled as-is, or to
update page_offset so that we are pointing at the correct location for
placement of the next buffer.

This patch pulls the code responsible for fetching the Rx buffer and
synchronizing DMA into a function, specifically called i40e_get_rx_buffer.
The general idea is to allow for better code reuse by pulling this out of
i40e_fetch_rx_buffer. We dropped a couple of prefetches since the time
between the prefetch being called and the data being accessed was too small
to be useful.

This change makes it so that we use the length of the packet instead of the
DD status bit to determine if a new descriptor is ready to be processed.
The obvious advantage is that it cuts down on reads as we don't really even
need the DD bit if going from a 0 to a non-zero value on size is enough to
inform us that the packet has been completed.

The current driver mode is to use a write-back mechanism for the head
register which indicates transmit completions. The VF driver needs to be
able to work on hardware that exclusively uses descriptor write-back, so
change the default driver mode of operation to descriptor write-back for
VF. In our analysis, performance wasn't significantly different with
either write-back method.

This is a minor clean-up to make the i40e/i40evf process_skb_fields
function look a little more like what we have in igb. The Rx checksum
function called out a need for skb->protocol but I can't see where it
actually needs it. I am assuming this is something that was likely
refactored out some time ago as the Rx checksum code has gone through a few
rewrites.

We need to reset skb back to NULL when we have freed it in the Rx cleanup
path. I found one spot where this wasn't occurring so this patch fixes it.

Update the driver code so that we do bulk updates of the page reference
count instead of just incrementing it by one reference at a time. The
advantage to doing this is that we cut down on atomic operations and
this in turn should give us a slight improvement in cycles per packet.
In addition if we eventually move this over to using build_skb the gains
will be more noticeable.
I also found and fixed a store forwarding stall from where we were
assigning "*new_buff = *old_buff". By breaking it up into individual
copies we can avoid this and as a result the performance is slightly
improved.

This patch adds support for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC and
DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING. By enabling both of these for the Rx path we
are able to see performance improvements on architectures that implement
either one due to the fact that page mapping and unmapping only has to
sync what is actually being used instead of the entire buffer. In addition
by enabling the weak ordering attribute enables a performance improvement
for architectures that can associate a memory ordering with a DMA buffer
such as Sparc.

Fix, or rather, avoid a sparse warning caused by the fact that
csum_replace_by_diff expects to receive a __wsum value. Since the
calculation appears to work, simply typecast the passed paylen value to
__wsum to avoid the warning.
This seems pretty fishy since __wsum was obviously annotated as
a separate type on purpose, so this throws the entire calculation into
question. Since it currently appears to behave as expected, the typecast
is probably safe.

This patch fixes a bug introduced with the addition of the per queue
ITR feature support in ethtool. With that addition, there were
functions added which converted the ITR settings to binary values.
The IS_ENABLED macros that run on those values check whether a bit
is set or not and with the value being binary, the bit check always
returned ITR disabled which prevents any updating of the ITR rate.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the functions to return the
current ITR value instead and renaming it to better reflect
its function. These functions now provide a value which will be
accurately asessed and update the ITR as intended.

Reorganize the i40e_pull_tail() logic, doing it in i40e_add_rx_frag()
where it's cheaper. The igb driver does this the same way.
Also renames i40e_page_is_reserved() to reflect what it actually
tests.

This patch reduces the size of struct i40e_rx_buffer by one pointer,
and makes the i40e driver a little more consistent with the igb driver
in terms of packets that span buffers.
We do this by moving the skb field from struct i40e_rx_buffer to
struct i40e_ring. We pass the skb we already have (or NULL if we
don't) to i40e_fetch_rx_buffer(), which skips the skb allocation if we
already have one for this packet.

On packet RX, we perform a DMA sync for CPU before passing the
packet up. Here we limit that sync to the actual length of the
incoming packet, rather than always syncing the entire buffer.

This patch does some quick work to pull some of the data off of the stack
and hopefully start storing it in the Tx buffer info section of the Tx
ring. Ideally we should be moving away from having to store much of
anything on the stack and can just maintain it all in the descriptor rings.

Currently the function i40e_napi-poll() returns 0 when it clean completely
the Rx rings, but this foul budget accounting in core code.
Fix this by returning the actual work done, capped to budget - 1, since
the core doesn't allow to return the full budget when the driver modifies
the NAPI status
This is based on a similar change that was made for the ixgbe driver by
Paolo Abeni.

This patch reorders the logic at the end of i40e_tx_map to address the
fact that the logic was rather convoluted and much larger than it needed
to be.
In order to try and coalesce the code paths I have updated some of the
comments and repurposed some of the variables in order to reduce
unnecessary overhead.
This patch does the following:
1. Quit tracking skb->xmit_more with a flag, just max out packet_stride
2. Drop tail_bump and do_rs and instead just use desc_count and td_cmd
3. Pull comments from ixgbe that make need for wmb() more explicit.
