Mellanox mlx5 core driver updates 2016-10-25
This series contains some updates and fixes of mlx5 core and
IB drivers with the addition of two features that demand
new low level commands and infrastructure updates.
- SRIOV VF max rate limit support
- mlx5e tc support for FWD rules with counter.
Needed for both net and rdma subsystems.
Updates and Fixes:
From Saeed Mahameed (2):
- mlx5 IB: Skip handling unknown mlx5 events
- Add ConnectX-5 PCIe 4.0 VF device ID
From Artemy Kovalyov (2):
- Update struct mlx5_ifc_xrqc_bits
- Ensure SRQ physical address structure endianness
From Eugenia Emantayev (1):
- Fix length of async_event_mask
New Features:
From Mohamad Haj Yahia (3): mlx5 SRIOV VF max rate limit support
- Introduce TSAR manipulation firmware commands
- Introduce E-switch QoS management
- Add SRIOV VF max rate configuration support
From Mark Bloch (7): mlx5e Tc support for FWD rule with counter
- Don't unlock fte while still using it
- Use fte status to decide on firmware command
- Refactor find_flow_rule
- Group similar rules under the same fte
- Add multi dest support
- Add option to add fwd rule with counter
- mlx5e tc support for FWD rule with counter
Mark here fixed two trivial issues with the flow steering core, and did
some refactoring in the flow steering API to support adding mulit destination
rules to the same hardware flow table entry at once. In the last two patches
added the ability to populate a flow rule with a flow counter to the same flow entry.
V2: Dropped some patches that added new structures without adding any usage of them.
Added SRIOV VF max rate configuration support patch that introduces
the usage of the TSAR infrastructure.
Added flow steering fixes and refactoring in addition to mlx5 tc
support for forward rule with counter.

Currently when calling mlx5_add_flow_rule we accept
only one flow destination, this commit allows to pass
multiple destinations.
This change forces us to change the return structure to a more
flexible one. We introduce a flow handle (struct mlx5_flow_handle),
it holds internally the number for rules created and holds an array
where each cell points the to a flow rule.
From the consumers (of mlx5_add_flow_rule) point of view this
change is only cosmetic and requires only to change the type
of the returned value they store.
From the core point of view, we now need to use a loop when
allocating and deleting rules (e.g given to us a flow handler).

We get 2 warnings when building kernel with W=1:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eswitch_offloads.c:463:5: warning: no previous prototype for 'esw_offloads_init' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eswitch_offloads.c:521:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'esw_offloads_cleanup' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
In fact, both functions are declared in

declared in a header file, thus can be recognized in other file.
So this patch moves the declarations into

Unlike the legacy mode, here, forwarding rules are not learned by the
driver per events on macs set by VFs/VMs into their vports, but rather
should be programmed by higher-level SW entities.
Saying that, still, in the offloads mode (SRIOV_OFFLOADS), two flow
groups are created by the driver for management (slow path) purposes:
The first group will be used for sending packets over e-switch vports
from the host OS where the e-switch management code runs, to be
received by VFs.
The second group will be used by a miss rule which forwards packets toward
the e-switch manager. Further logic will trap these packets such that
the receiving net-device as seen by the networking stack is the representor
of the vport that sent the packet over the e-switch data-path.

In RoCE, the RDMA-CM needs the node guid to establish connection
between nodes.
Today, the node guid exposed to mlx5 Ethernet VFs is zero, therefore
RDMA-CM on the VF is broken.
Whenever the administrator sets a MAC for a VF, derive the node guid
from it and set it as well in the following way:
MAC: e4:1d:2d:b3:f4:01 -> node_guid: e4:1d:2d:ff:fe:b3:f4:01

Reorder vport enable flow to mark the vport as enabled before calling
the vport change handler which was modified to handle the case for
when vport is not enabled.
This fixes the case for when the PF netdev is open before sriov is
enabled, once sriov is enabled at esw_enable_vport,
esw_vport_change_handle_locked didn't read the PF context since it
thought the PF vport was not enabled.
When we enable the vport, arming for events is not required anymore,
since it's done on the vport change handle

The mlx5 flow-steering API (mlx5_create_flow_table/group/rule) never
returns null pointer on error. Even if it was doing that, checking
for IS_ERR_OR_NULL(p) and then returning PTR_ERR(p) would have cause
bugs, since PTR_ERR(NULL) --> success, crash.
To make things more robust and protect against related future bugs,
convert all IS_ERR_OR_NULL checks on returned values to IS_ERR.

Enabling E-Switch SRIOV for nvfs+1 vports.
Create E-Switch FDB for L2 UC/MC mac steering between VFs/PF and
external vport (Uplink).
FDB contains forwarding rules such as:
UC MAC0 -> vport0(PF).
UC MAC1 -> vport1.
UC MAC2 -> vport2.
MC MACX -> vport0, vport2, Uplink.
MC MACY -> vport1, Uplink.
For unmatched traffic FDB has the following default rules:
Unmached Traffic (src vport != Uplink) -> Uplink.
Unmached Traffic (src vport == Uplink) -> vport0(PF).
FDB rules population:
Each NIC vport (VF) will notify E-Switch manager of its UC/MC vport
context changes via modify vport context command, which will be
translated to an event that will be handled by E-Switch manager (PF)
which will update FDB table accordingly.

E-Switch is the software entity that represents and manages ConnectX4
inter-HCA ethernet l2 switching.
E-Switch has its own Virtual Ports, each Vport/vNIC/VF can be
connected to the device through a vport of an e-switch.
Each e-switch is managed by one vNIC identified by
HCA_CAP.vport_group_manager (usually it is the PF/vport[0]),
and its main responsibility is to forward each packet to the
right vport.
e-Switch needs to manage its own l2-table and FDB tables.
L2 table is a flow table that is managed by FW, it is needed for
Multi-host (Multi PF) configuration for inter HCA switching between
PFs.
FDB table is a flow table that is totally managed by e-Switch driver,
its main responsibility is to switch packets between e-Swtich internal
vports and uplink vport that belong to the same.
This patch introduces only e-Swtich l2 table management, FDB managemnt
will come later when ethernet SRIOV/VFs will be enabled.
