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.

Avoid using the same named flags for both vsi->state and pf->state. This
makes code review easier, as it is more likely that future authors will
use the correct state field when checking bits. Previous commits already
found issues with at least one check, and possibly others may be
incorrect.
This reduces confusion as it is more clear what each flag represents,
and which flags are valid for which state field.

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 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.

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

refactored out some time ago as the Rx checksum code has gone through a few

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.

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.

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.

This patch cleans up several pieces of redundant code in the Rx clean-up
paths.
The first bit is that hdr_addr and the status_err_len portions of the Rx
descriptor represent the same value. As such there is no point in setting
them to 0 before setting them to 0. I'm dropping the second spot where we
are updating the value to 0 so that we only have 1 write for this value
instead of 2.
The second piece is the checking for the DD bit in the packet. We only
need to check for a non-zero value for the status_err_len because if the
device is done with the descriptor it will have written something back and
the DD is just one piece of it. In addition I have moved the reading of
the Rx descriptor bits related to rx_ptype down so that they are actually
below the dma_rmb() call so that we are guaranteed that we don't have any
funky 64b on 32b calls causing any ordering issues.

There exists a bug in which a 'perfect storm' can occur and cause
interrupts to fail to be correctly affinitized. This causes unexpected
behavior and has a substantial impact on performance when it happens.
The bug occurs if there is heavy traffic, any number of CPUs that have
an i40e interrupt are pegged at 100%, and the interrupt afffinity for
those CPUs is changed. Instead of moving to the new CPU, the interrupt
continues to be polled while there is heavy traffic.
The bug is most readily realized as the driver is first brought up and
all interrupts start on CPU0. If there is heavy traffic and the
interrupt starts polling before the interrupt is affinitized, the
interrupt will be stuck on CPU0 until traffic stops. The bug, however,
can also be wrought out more simply by affinitizing all the interrupts
to a single CPU and then attempting to move any of those interrupts off
while there is heavy traffic.
This patch fixes the bug by registering for update notifications from
the kernel when the interrupt affinity changes. When that fires, we
cache the intended affinity mask. Then, while polling, if the cpu is
pegged at 100% and we failed to clean the rings, we check to make sure
we have the correct affinity and stop polling if we're firing on the
wrong CPU. When the kernel successfully moves the interrupt, it will
start polling on the correct CPU. The performance impact is minimal
since the only time this section gets executed is when performance is
already compromised by the CPU.

In commit a75e8005d506f3 ("i40e: queue-specific settings for interrupt
moderation") the i40e driver gained support for setting interrupt
moderation values per queue. This patch adds support for this feature
to the i40evf driver as well. In addition, a few changes are made to
the i40e implementation to add function header documentation comments,
as well.
This behaves in a similar fashion to the implementation in i40e. Thus,
requesting the moderation value when no queue is provided will report
queue 0 value, while setting the value without a queue will set all
queues at once.

This patch adds a txring_txq function which allows us to convert a
i40e_ring/i40evf_ring to a netdev_tx_queue structure. This way we
can avoid having to make a multi-line function call for all the spots
that need access to this.

The Tx cleanup flow was incorrectly assuming it could check for the flow
director bits after it had unmapped the buffer. However in this case it
results in us trying to free a raw_buf as though it is an sk_buff.
To fix this I am moving up the flag test for the FD_SB bit so that when
find a non-NULL skb or raw_buf value we then check the flag and use the
appropriate call to free the buffer.

The i40e driver was incorrectly assuming that we would always be pulling
no more than 1 descriptor from each fragment. It is in fact possible for
us to end up with the case where 2 descriptors worth of data may be pulled
when a frame is larger than one of the pieces generated when aligning the
payload to either 4K or pieces smaller than 16K.
To adjust for this we just need to make certain to test all the way to the
end of the fragments as it is possible for us to span 2 descriptors in the
block before us so we need to guarantee that even the last 6 descriptors
have enough data to fill a full frame.

====================
40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-07-22
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.
Heinrich Schuchardt found a possible null pointer being dereferenced in
i40e_debug_aq(), fixed the issue by doing the variable assignment after
we are sure the pointer is not null.
Avinash fixed an issue when link was down, we were not showing the
correct advertised link modes.
Mitch cleans up a useless initializer since the variable is assigned
right away. Refactors the receive filter handling to properly track
filter adds and deletes so the driver will not lose filters during a
reset and up/down cycles. Also added a tracking mechanism so that the
driver knows when to enter and leave promiscuous mode.
Catherine removes a device id which is not needed (or used). Moves
a mutex lock since we need to lock the client list around the
i40e_client_release() call to prevent the release from interrupting
the client instances while they are being added.
Joshua adds Hyper-V specific VF device ids.
Amitoj Kaur Chawla cleans up a redundant memset() call before a memcpy().
Stefan Assmann adds the missing link advertise for some x710 NICs.
Tushar Dave fixes and issue found on SPARC, where a PF reset clears MAC
filters and if a platform-specific MAC address is used, the driver has
to explicitly write default MAC address to MAC filters otherwise all
incoming traffic destined to the default MAC address will be dropped
after reset.

There are a couple of issues I found in i40e_rx_checksum while doing some
recent testing. As a result I have found the Rx checksum logic is pretty
much broken and returning that the checksum is valid for tunnels in cases
where it is not.
First the inner types are not the correct values to use to test for if a
tunnel is present or not. In addition the inner protocol types are not a
bitmask as such performing an OR of the values doesn't make sense. I have
instead changed the code so that the inner protocol types are used to
determine if we report CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY or not. For anything that does
not end in UDP, TCP, or SCTP it doesn't make much sense to report a
checksum offload since it won't contain a checksum anyway.
This leaves us with the need to set the csum_level based on some value.
For that purpose I am using the tunnel_type field. If the tunnel type is
GRENAT or greater then this means we have a GRE or UDP tunnel with an inner
header. In the case of GRE or UDP we will have a possible checksum present
so for this reason it should be safe to set the csum_level to 1 to indicate
that we are reporting the state of the inner header.

This patch defines two new GSO definitions SKB_GSO_IPXIP4 and
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 along with corresponding NETIF_F_GSO_IPXIP4 and
NETIF_F_GSO_IPXIP6. These are used to described IP in IP
tunnel and what the outer protocol is. The inner protocol
can be deduced from other GSO types (e.g. SKB_GSO_TCPV4 and
SKB_GSO_TCPV6). The GSO types of SKB_GSO_IPIP and SKB_GSO_SIT
are removed (these are both instances of SKB_GSO_IPXIP4).
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 will be used when support for GSO with IP
encapsulation over IPv6 is added.

This is part 2 of the Rx refactor series, just including
changes to i40evf.
This refactor aligns the receive routine with the one in
ixgbe which was highly optimized. This reduces the code
we have to maintain and allows for (hopefully) more readable
and maintainable RX hot path.
In order to do this:
- consolidate the receive path into a single function that doesn't
use packet split but *does* use pages for Rx buffers.
- remove the old _1buf routine
- consolidate several routines into helper functions
- remove VF ethtool control over packet split
- remove priv_flags interface since it is unused

As part of preparation for the rx-refactor, remove the
packet split receive routine and ancillary code.
Some of the split related context set up code stays in
i40e_virtchnl_pf.c in case an older VF driver tries to load
and still wants to use packet split.

This patch makes it so that i40e and i40evf can use GSO_PARTIAL to support
segmentation for frames with checksums enabled in outer headers. As a
result we can now send data over these types of tunnels at over 20Gb/s
versus the 12Gb/s that was previously possible on my system.
The advantage with the i40e parts is that this offload is mostly
transparent as the hardware still deals with the inner and/or outer IPv4
headers so the IP ID is still incrementing for both when this offload is
performed.

Looking over the documentation it turns out enabling IPIP and SIT offloads
for i40e is pretty straightforward. As such I decided to enable them with
this patch. In my testing I am seeing an improvement of 8 to 10 Gb/s
for IPIP and SIT tunnels with this offload enabled.

Conflicts were two cases of simple overlapping changes,

This patch addresses a bug introduced based on my interpretation of the
XL710 datasheet. Specifically section 8.4.1 states that "A single transmit
packet may span up to 8 buffers (up to 8 data descriptors per packet
including both the header and payload buffers)." It then later goes on to
say that each segment for a TSO obeys the previous rule, however it then
refers to TSO header and the segment payload buffers.
I believe the actual limit for fragments with TSO and a skbuff that has
payload data in the header portion of the buffer is actually only 7
fragments as the skb->data portion counts as 2 buffers, one for the TSO
header, and one for a segment payload buffer.
