net/mlx5e: XDP, Support Enhanced Multi-Packet TX WQE

2018-12-21T06:54:19+00:00

Add support for the HW feature of multi-packet WQE in XDP xmit flow. The conventional TX descriptor (WQE, Work Queue Element) serves a single packet. Our HW has support for multi-packet WQE (MPWQE) in which a single descriptor serves multiple TX packets. This reduces both the PCI overhead and the CPU cycles wasted on writing them. In this patch we add support for the HW feature, which is supported starting from ConnectX-5. Performance: Tested packet rate for UDP 64Byte multi-stream over ConnectX-5 NICs. CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz XDP_TX: We see a huge gain on single port ConnectX-5, and reach the 100 Mpps milestone. * Single-port HCA: Before: 70 Mpps After: 100 Mpps (+42.8%) * Dual-port HCA: Before: 51.7 Mpps After: 57.3 Mpps (+10.8%) * In both cases we tested traffic on one port and for now On Dual-port HCAs we see only small gain, we are working to overcome this bottleneck, but for the moment only with experimental firmware on dual port HCAs we can reach the wanted numbers as seen on Single-port HCAs. XDP_REDIRECT: Redirect from (A) ConnectX-5 to (B) ConnectX-5. Due to a setup limitation, (A) and (B) are on different NUMA nodes, so absolute performance numbers are not optimal. Note: Below is the transmit rate of (B), not the redirect rate of (A) which is in some cases higher. * (B) is single-port: Before: 77 Mpps After: 90 Mpps (+16.8%) * (B) is dual-port: Before: 61 Mpps After: 72 Mpps (+18%) Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed

net/mlx5: Add monitor commands layout and event data

2018-12-10T22:00:08+00:00

Will be used in downstream patch to monitor counter changes by the HCA and report it to the driver by an event. The driver will update its counters cached data accordingly. Signed-off-by: Eyal Davidovich Reviewed-by: Eran Ben Elisha Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed

net/mlx5: EQ, Introduce atomic notifier chain subscription API

2018-11-26T21:39:33+00:00

Use atomic_notifier_chain to fire firmware events at internal mlx5 core components such as eswitch/fpga/clock/FW tracer/etc.., this is to avoid explicit calls from low level mlx5_core to upper components and to simplify the mlx5_core API for future developments. Simply provide register/unregister notifiers API and call the notifier chain on firmware async events. Example: to subscribe to a FW event: struct mlx5_nb port_event; MLX5_NB_INIT(&port_event, port_event_handler, PORT_CHANGE); mlx5_eq_notifier_register(mdev, &port_event); where: - port_event_handler is the notifier block callback. - PORT_EVENT is the suffix of MLX5_EVENT_TYPE_PORT_CHANGE. The above will guarantee that port_event_handler will receive all FW events of the type MLX5_EVENT_TYPE_PORT_CHANGE. To receive all FW/HW events one can subscribe to MLX5_EVENT_TYPE_NOTIFY_ANY. The next few patches will start moving all mlx5 core components to use this new API and cleanup mlx5_eq_async_int misx handler from component explicit calls and specific logic.

net/mlx5: Add Fast teardown support

2018-10-03T23:18:00+00:00

Today mlx5 devices support two teardown modes: 1- Regular teardown 2- Force teardown This change introduces the enhanced version of the "Force teardown" that allows SW to perform teardown in a faster way without the need to reclaim all the pages. Fast teardown provides the following advantages: 1- Fix a FW race condition that could cause command timeout 2- Avoid moving to polling mode 3- Close the vport to prevent PCI ACK to be sent without been scatter to memory Signed-off-by: Feras Daoud Reviewed-by: Majd Dibbiny Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed

net/mlx5: Add proper NIC TX steering flow tables support

2018-09-05T04:56:33+00:00

Extend the ability to add steering rules to NIC TX flow tables. For now, we are only adding TX bypass (egress) which is used by the RDMA side. This will allow to shape outgoing traffic and tweak it if needed, for example performing encapsulation or rewriting headers.

net/mlx5: FW tracer, events handling

2018-07-23T22:01:11+00:00

The tracer has one event, event 0x26, with two subtypes: - Subtype 0: Ownership change - Subtype 1: Traces available An ownership change occurs in the following cases: 1- Owner releases his ownership, in this case, an event will be sent to inform others to reattempt acquire ownership. 2- Ownership was taken by a higher priority tool, in this case the owner should understand that it lost ownership, and go through tear down flow. The second subtype indicates that there are traces in the trace buffer, in this case, the driver polls the tracer buffer for new traces, parse them and prepares the messages for printing. The HW starts tracing from the first address in the tracer buffer. Driver receives an event notifying that new trace block exists. HW posts a timestamp event at the last 8B of every 256B block. Comparing the timestamp to the last handled timestamp would indicate that this is a new trace block. Once the new timestamp is detected, the entire block is considered valid. Block validation and parsing, should be done after copying the current block to a different location, in order to avoid block overwritten during processing.
