2020-07-09qed: Populate nvm-file attributes while reading nvm config partition.Sudarsana Reddy Kalluru
NVM config file address will be modified when the MBI image is upgraded. Driver would return stale config values if user reads the nvm-config (via ethtool -d) in this state.

This patch refactors the current llh implementation. It exposes a hw resource called ppfid (port-pfid) and implements an API for configuring the resource. Default configuration which was used until now limited the number of filters per PF and did not support engine affinity per protocol. The new API enables allocating more filter rules per PF and enables affinitizing protocol packets to a certain engine which enables full 100g protocol offload support.

2018-10-16qed: Align local and global PTT to propagate through the APIs.Rahul Verma
Align the use of local PTT to propagate through the qed_mcp* API's. Global ptt should not be used. Register access should be done through layers. Register address is mapped into a PTT, PF translation table. Several interface functions require a PTT to direct read/write into register. There is a pool of PTT maintained, and several PTT are used simultaneously to access device registers in different flows. Same PTT should not be used in flows that can run concurrently. To avoid running out of PTT resources, too many PTT should not be acquired without releasing them. Every PF has a global PTT, which is used throughout the life of PF, in most important flows for register access. Generic functions acquire the PTT locally and release after the use. This patch aligns the use of Global PTT and Local PTT accordingly. Signed-off-by: Rahul Verma <rahul.verma@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: Ariel Elior <ariel.elior@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2018-08-20qed: Avoid sending mailbox commands when MFW is not responsiveTomer Tayar
Keep sending mailbox commands to the MFW when it is not responsive ends up with a redundant amount of timeout expiries. This patch prints the MCP status on the first command which is not responded, and blocks the following commands.

2018-08-20qed: Prevent a possible deadlock during driver load and unloadTomer Tayar
The MFW manages an internal lock to prevent concurrent hardware (de)initialization of different PFs. This, together with the busy-waiting for the MFW's responses for commands, might lead to a deadlock during concurrent load or unload of PFs.

2017-03-28qed: Utilize resource-lock based schemeTomer Tayar
Management firmware is used as an arbiter between the various PFs in matters of resources, but some of the resources that need to be divided are dependent on the non-management firmware used, so management firmware first needs to be told how many resources there are before trying to divide them. As part of the initialization sequence, driver would first inform the management firmware of the available resources under a dedicated resource lock, and afterwards request for various resources which might be based on the previous set values.

2017-03-28qed: Support management-based resource lockingTomer Tayar
Global locking can't properly be used to synchronize between different PFs in all scenarios, as those instances might reside in different logical partitions [e.g., when a PF is assigned via PDA to some VM]. The management firmware provides a generic infrastructure for device locks. For each 'resource', it's guaranteed it could be acquired by at most a single PF at any given time [or by management firmware]. This patch adds the necessary logic in qed for utilizing said infrastructure, implementing lock/unlock internal APIs.

2017-03-28qed: Send pf-flr as part of initializationMintz, Yuval
During HW initialization, driver would set various registers to their needed values - but it assumes all registers start at their reset-value, so there's no need to re-configure a register's default value. This assumption might be incorrect, e.g., in case of preboot driver running and initializing the driver prior to our driver. To overcome this, we now ask management firmware to initiate a PF-flr early during the initialization sequence. That would return everything in the PF's scope back to default and prevent previous configurations from still being applied.

2017-03-28qed: Move to new load request schemeTomer Tayar
Management firmware is used as an arbiter between the various PFs in regard to loading - it causes the various PFs to load/unload sequentially and informs each of its appropriate rule in the init. But the existing flow is too weak to handle some scenarios where PFs aren't properly cleaned prior to loading. The significant scenarios falling under this criteria: a. Preboot drivers in some environment can't properly unload. b. Unexpected driver replacement [kdump, PDA]. Modern management firmware supports a more intricate loading flow, where the driver has the ability to overcome previous limitations. This moves qed into using this newer scheme. Notice new scheme is backward compatible, so new drivers would still be able to load properly on top of older management firmwares and vice versa.

2017-03-28qed: Correct HW stop flowTomer Tayar
Management firmware is used as arbiter between different PFs which are loading/unloading, but in order to use the synchronization it offers the contending configurations need to be applied either between their LOAD_REQ <-> LOAD_DONE or UNLOAD_REQ <-> UNLOAD_DONE management firmware commands. Existing HW stop flow utilizes 2 different functions: qed_hw_stop() and qed_hw_reset() which don't abide this requirement; Most of the closure is doing outside the scope of the unload request. This patch removes qed_hw_reset() and places the relevant stop functionality underneath the management firmware protection.

2017-03-23qed: Pass src/dst sizes when interacting with MFWTomer Tayar
The driver interaction with management firmware involves a union of all the data-members relating to the commands the driver prepares. Current interface assumes the caller always passes such a union - but thats cumbersome as well as risky [chancing a stack corruption in case caller accidentally passes a smaller member instead of union].

2017-03-23qed: Revise MFW command lockingTomer Tayar
Interaction of driver -> management firmware is based on a one-pending mailbox [per interface], and various mailbox commands need to be synchronized. Current scheme is messy, and there's a difficulty extending it as it deals differently with various commands as well as making assumption on the required behavior for load/unload requests. Drop the current scheme into a completion-list-based approach; Each flow would try sending the command when possible, allowing one flow to complete another flow's completion and relieve the mailbox before sending its own command.

2017-02-20qed*: Fix link indication raceMintz, Yuval
Driver changes the link properties via communication with the management firmware, and re-reads the resulting link status when it receives an indication that the link has changed. However, there are certain scenarios where such indications might be missing, and so driver also re-reads the current link results without attention in several places. Specifically, it does so during load and when resetting the link. This creates a race where driver might reflect incorrect link status - e.g., when explicit reading of the link status is switched by attention with the changed configuration. Correct this flow by a lock syncronizing the handling of the link indications [both explicit requests and attention]. Signed-off-by: Yuval Mintz <Yuval.Mintz@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
