net/mlx5: remove the recent devlink params

2021-10-26T17:18:32+00:00

revert commit 46ae40b94d88 ("net/mlx5: Let user configure io_eq_size param")
revert commit a6cb08daa3b4 ("net/mlx5: Let user configure event_eq_size param")
revert commit 554604061979 ("net/mlx5: Let user configure max_macs param")

The EQE parameters are applicable to more drivers, they should
be configured via standard API, probably ethtool. Example of
another driver needing something similar:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/1633454136-14679-3-git-send-email-sbhatta@marvell.com/

The last param for "max_macs" is probably fine but the documentation
is severely lacking. The meaning and implications for changing the
param need to be stated.

net/mlx5: Let user configure max_macs param

2021-10-25T20:51:21+00:00

Currently, max_macs is taking 70Kbytes of memory per function. This
size is not needed in all use cases, and is critical with large scale.
Hence, allow user to configure the number of max_macs.

For example, to reduce the number of max_macs to 1, execute::
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:00:0b.0 name max_macs value 1 \
              cmode driverinit
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:00:0b.0

net/mlx5: Let user configure event_eq_size param

2021-10-25T20:51:20+00:00

Event EQ is an EQ which received the notification of almost all the
events generated by the NIC.
Currently, each event EQ is taking 512KB of memory. This size is not
needed in most use cases, and is critical with large scale. Hence,
allow user to configure the size of the event EQ.

For example to reduce event EQ size to 64, execute::
$ devlink resource set pci/0000:00:0b.0 path /event_eq_size/ size 64
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:00:0b.0

net/mlx5: Let user configure io_eq_size param

Currently, each I/O EQ is taking 128KB of memory. This size
is not needed in all use cases, and is critical with large scale.
Hence, allow user to configure the size of I/O EQs.

For example, to reduce I/O EQ size to 64, execute:
$ devlink resource set pci/0000:00:0b.0 path /io_eq_size/ size 64
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:00:0b.0

ice: Print the api_patch as part of the fw.mgmt.api

2021-10-14T17:14:46+00:00

Currently when a user uses "devlink dev info", the fw.mgmt.api will be
the major.minor numbers as shown below:

devlink dev info pci/0000:3b:00.0
pci/0000:3b:00.0:
  driver ice
  serial_number 00-01-00-ff-ff-00-00-00
  versions:
      fixed:
        board.id K91258-000
      running:
        fw.mgmt 6.1.2
        fw.mgmt.api 1.7 <--- No patch number included
        fw.mgmt.build 0xd75e7d06
        fw.mgmt.srev 5
        fw.undi 1.2992.0
        fw.undi.srev 5
        fw.psid.api 3.10
        fw.bundle_id 0x800085cc
        fw.app.name ICE OS Default Package
        fw.app 1.3.27.0
        fw.app.bundle_id 0xc0000001
        fw.netlist 3.10.2000-3.1e.0
        fw.netlist.build 0x2a76e110
      stored:
        fw.mgmt.srev 5
        fw.undi 1.2992.0
        fw.undi.srev 5
        fw.psid.api 3.10
        fw.bundle_id 0x800085cc
        fw.netlist 3.10.2000-3.1e.0
        fw.netlist.build 0x2a76e110

There are many features in the driver that depend on the major, minor,
and patch version of the FW. Without the patch number in the output for
fw.mgmt.api debugging issues related to the FW API version is difficult.
Also, using major.minor.patch aligns with the existing firmware version
which uses a 3 digit value.

Fix this by making the fw.mgmt.api print the major.minor.patch
versions. Shown below is the result:

devlink dev info pci/0000:3b:00.0
pci/0000:3b:00.0:
  driver ice
  serial_number 00-01-00-ff-ff-00-00-00

devlink: report maximum number of snapshots with regions

2021-10-01T13:28:55+00:00

Each region has an independently configurable number of maximum
snapshots. This information is not reported to userspace, making it not
very discoverable. Fix this by adding a new
DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_MAX_SNAPSHOST attribute which is used to report this
maximum.

Ex:

  $devlink region
  pci/0000:af:00.0/nvm-flash: size 10485760 snapshot [] max 1
  pci/0000:af:00.0/device-caps: size 4096 snapshot [] max 10
  pci/0000:af:00.1/nvm-flash: size 10485760 snapshot [] max 1
  pci/0000:af:00.1/device-caps: size 4096 snapshot [] max 10

This information enables users to understand why a new region command
may fail due to having too many existing snapshots.
