Documentation: Fix counter name of mlx5 vnic reporter

2024-02-06T00:45:50+00:00

Fix counter name in documentation of mlx5 vnic health reporter diagnose output: total_error_queues. While here fix alignment in the documentation file of another counter, comp_eq_overrun, as it should have its own line and not be part of another counter's description. Example: $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:00:04.0 reporter vnic vNIC env counters: total_error_queues: 0 send_queue_priority_update_flow: 0 comp_eq_overrun: 0 async_eq_overrun: 0 cq_overrun: 0 invalid_command: 0 quota_exceeded_command: 0 nic_receive_steering_discard: 0 Signed-off-by: Moshe Shemesh Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed

Documentation: mlx5.rst: Add note for eswitch MD

2024-01-27T14:29:20+00:00

Add a note when using esw_port_metadata. The parameter has runtime mode but setting it does not take effect immediately. Setting it must happen in legacy mode, and the port metadata takes effects when the switchdev mode is enabled. Disable eswitch port metadata:: $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata value \ false cmode runtime Change eswitch mode to switchdev mode where after choosing the metadata value:: $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev Note that other mlx5 devlink runtime parameters, esw_multiport and flow_steering_mode, do not have this limitation.

net/mlx5e: Add recovery flow for tx devlink health reporter for unhealthy PTP SQ

2023-08-14T21:40:20+00:00

A new check for the tx devlink health reporter is introduced for determining when the PTP port timestamping SQ is considered unhealthy. If there are enough CQEs considered never to be delivered, the space that can be utilized on the SQ decreases significantly, impacting performance and usability of the SQ. The health reporter is triggered when the number of likely never delivered port timestamping CQEs that utilize the space of the PTP SQ is greater than 93.75% of the total capacity of the SQ. A devlink health reporter recover method is also provided for this specific TX error context that restarts the PTP SQ.

De-duplicate documentation by removing mellanox/mlx5/devlink.rst. Instead, only use the generic devlink documentation directory to document mlx5 devlink parameters. Avoid providing general devlink tool usage information in mlx5-specific documentation. Signed-off-by: Rahul Rameshbabu Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Reviewed-by: Gal Pressman Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed

net/mlx5e: Add devlink hairpin queues parameters

2023-03-16T05:12:08+00:00

We refer to a TC NIC rule that involves forwarding as "hairpin". Hairpin queues are mlx5 hardware specific implementation for hardware forwarding of such packets. Per the discussion in [1], move the hairpin queues control (number and size) from debugfs to devlink. Expose two devlink params: - hairpin_num_queues: control the number of hairpin queues - hairpin_queue_size: control the size (in packets) of the hairpin queues [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230111194608.7f15b9a1@kernel.org/ Signed-off-by: Gal Pressman Reviewed-by: Tariq Toukan Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230314054234.267365-12-saeed@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net/mlx5: Lag, Control MultiPort E-Switch single FDB mode

2023-02-14T22:08:24+00:00

MultiPort E-Switch builds on newer hardware's capabilities and introduces a mode where a single E-Switch is used and all the vports and physical ports on the NIC are connected to it. The new mode will allow in the future a decrease in the memory used by the driver and advanced features that aren't possible today. This represents a big change in the current E-Switch implantation in mlx5. Currently, by default, each E-Switch manager manages its E-Switch. Steering rules in each E-Switch can only forward traffic to the native physical port associated with that E-Switch. While there are ways to target non-native physical ports, for example using a bond or via special TC rules. None of the ways allows a user to configure the driver to operate by default in such a mode nor can the driver decide to move to this mode by default as it's user configuration-driven right now. While MultiPort E-Switch single FDB mode is the preferred mode, older generations of ConnectX hardware couldn't support this mode so it was never implemented. Now that there is capable hardware present, start the transition to having this mode by default. Introduce a devlink parameter to control MultiPort E-Switch single FDB mode. This will allow users to select this mode on their system right now and in the future will allow the driver to move to this mode by default.

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 Signed-off-by: Shay Drory Reviewed-by: Moshe Shemesh Reviewed-by: Parav Pandit Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed
