mlx4_core: Allow choosing flow steering mode

2012-12-19T19:47:22+00:00

Device managed flow steering will be enabled only under administrator
directive provided through setting the existing module parameter
log_num_mgm_entry_size to -1 (if the device actually supports flow
steering).  If flow steering isn't requested or not available, the
driver will use the value of log_num_mgm_entry_size and B0 steering.

mlx4: 64-byte CQE/EQE support

2012-11-26T18:19:17+00:00

ConnectX-3 devices can use either 64- or 32-byte completion queue
entries (CQEs) and event queue entries (EQEs).  Using 64-byte
EQEs/CQEs performs better because each entry is aligned to a complete
cacheline.  This patch queries the HCA's capabilities, and if it
supports 64-byte CQEs and EQES the driver will configure the HW to
work in 64-byte mode.

The 32-byte vs 64-byte mode is global per HCA and not per CQ or EQ.

Since this mode is global, userspace (libmlx4) must be updated to work
with the configured CQE size, and guests using SR-IOV virtual
functions need to know both EQE and CQE size.

In case one of the 64-byte CQE/EQE capabilities is activated, the
patch makes sure that older guest drivers that use the QUERY_DEV_FUNC
command (e.g as done in mlx4_core of Linux 3.3..3.6) will notice that
they need an update to be able to work with the PPF. This is done by
changing the returned pf_context_behaviour not to be zero any more. In
case none of these capabilities is activated that value remains zero
and older guest drivers can run OK.

The SRIOV related flow is as follows

1. the PPF does the detection of the new capabilities using
   QUERY_DEV_CAP command.

2. the PPF activates the new capabilities using INIT_HCA.

3. the VF detects if the PPF activated the capabilities using
   QUERY_HCA, and if this is the case activates them for itself too.

Note that the VF detects that it must be aware to the new PF behaviour
using QUERY_FUNC_CAP.  Steps 1 and 2 apply also for native mode.

User space notification is done through a new field introduced in
struct mlx4_ib_ucontext which holds device capabilities for which user
space must take action. This changes the binary interface so the ABI
towards libmlx4 exposed through uverbs is bumped from 3 to 4 but only
when **needed** i.e. only when the driver does use 64-byte CQEs or
future device capabilities which must be in sync by user space. This
practice allows to work with unmodified libmlx4 on older devices (e.g
A0, B0) which don't support 64-byte CQEs.

In order to keep existing systems functional when they update to a
newer kernel that contains these changes in VF and userspace ABI, a
module parameter enable_64b_cqe_eqe must be set to enable 64-byte
mode; the default is currently false.

mlx4: Modify proxy/tunnel QP mechanism so that guests do no calculations

2012-10-01T03:33:43+00:00

Previously, the structure of a guest's proxy QPs followed the
structure of the PPF special qps (qp0 port 1, qp0 port 2, qp1 port 1,
qp1 port 2, ...).  The guest then did offset calculations on the
sqp_base qp number that the PPF passed to it in QUERY_FUNC_CAP().

This is now changed so that the guest does no offset calculations
regarding proxy or tunnel QPs to use.  This change frees the PPF from
needing to adhere to a specific order in allocating proxy and tunnel
QPs.

Now QUERY_FUNC_CAP provides each port individually with its proxy
qp0, proxy qp1, tunnel qp0, and tunnel qp1 QP numbers, and these are
used directly where required (with no offset calculations).

To accomplish this change, several fields were added to the phys_caps
structure for use by the PPF and by non-SR-IOV mode:

    base_sqpn -- in non-sriov mode, this was formerly sqp_start.
    base_proxy_sqpn -- the first physical proxy qp number -- used by PPF
    base_tunnel_sqpn -- the first physical tunnel qp number -- used by PPF.

The current code in the PPF still adheres to the previous layout of
sqps, proxy-sqps and tunnel-sqps.  However, the PPF can change this
layout without affecting VF or (paravirtualized) PF code.

mlx4: Activate SR-IOV mode for IB

2012-10-01T03:33:42+00:00

Remove the error returns for IB ports from mlx4_ib_add,
mlx4_INIT_PORT_wrapper, and mlx4_CLOSE_PORT_wrapper.

Currently, SRIOV is supported only for devices for which the
link layer is IB on all ports; RoCE support will be added later.

mlx4_core: Add IB port-state machine and port mgmt event propagation

2012-10-01T03:33:37+00:00

For an IB port, a slave should not show port active until that slave
has a valid alias-guid (provided by the subnet manager).  Therefore
the port-up event should be passed to a slave only after both the port
is up, and the slave's alias-guid has been set.

Also, provide the infrastructure for propagating port-management
events (client-reregister, etc) to slaves.

mlx4: Implement QP paravirtualization and maintain phys_pkey_cache for smp_snoop

2012-10-01T03:33:33+00:00

This requires:

1. Replacing the paravirtualized P_Key index (inserted by the guest)
   with the real P_Key index.

2. For UD QPs, placing the guest's true source GID index in the
   address path structure mgid field, and setting the ud_force_mgid
   bit so that the mgid is taken from the QP context and not from the
   WQE when posting sends.

3. For UC and RC QPs, placing the guest's true source GID index in the
   address path structure mgid field.

4. For tunnel and proxy QPs, setting the Q_Key value reserved for that
   proxy/tunnel pair.

Since not all the above adjustments occur in all the QP transitions,
the QP transitions require separate wrapper functions.

Secondly, initialize the P_Key virtualization table to its default
values: Master virtualized table is 1-1 with the real P_Key table,
guest virtualized table has P_Key index 0 mapped to the real P_Key
index 0, and all the other P_Key indices mapped to the reserved
(invalid) P_Key at index 127.

Finally, add logic in smp_snoop for maintaining the phys_P_Key_cache.
and generating events on the master only if a P_Key actually changed.

IB/mlx4: Initialize SR-IOV IB support for slaves in master context

2012-10-01T03:33:32+00:00

Allocate SR-IOV paravirtualization resources and MAD demuxing contexts
on the master.

This has two parts.  The first part is to initialize the structures to
contain the contexts.  This is done at master startup time in
mlx4_ib_init_sriov().

The second part is to actually create the tunneling resources required
on the master to support a slave.  This is performed the master
detects that a slave has started up (MLX4_DEV_EVENT_SLAVE_INIT event
generated when a slave initializes its comm channel).

For the master, there is no such startup event, so it creates its own
tunneling resources when it starts up.  In addition, the master also
creates the real special QPs.  The ib_core layer on the master causes
creation of proxy special QPs, since the master is also
paravirtualized at the ib_core layer.
