VF devices use a different register layout than PF devices. Storing the offset in a value in the softc allows code to be shared between the PF and VF drivers. 303860: Reserve an adapter flag IS_VF to mark VF devices vs PF devices. 303880: Track the base absolute ID of ingress and egress queues. Use this to map an absolute queue ID to a logical queue ID in interrupt handlers. For the regular cxgbe/cxl drivers this should be a no-op as the base absolute ID should be zero. VF devices have a non-zero base absolute ID and require this change. While here, export the absolute ID of egress queues via a sysctl. 304168: Make SGE parameter handling more VF-friendly. Add fields to hold the SGE control register and free list buffer sizes to the sge_params structure. Populate these new fields in t4_init_sge_params() for PF devices and change t4_read_chip_settings() to pull these values out of the params structure instead of reading registers directly. This will permit t4_read_chip_settings() to be reused for VF devices which cannot read SGE registers directly. While here, move the call to t4_init_sge_params() to get_params__post_init(). The VF driver will populate the SGE parameters structure via a different method before calling t4_read_chip_settings(). 304169: Update mailbox writes to work with VF devices. - Use alternate register locations for the data and control registers for VFs. - Do a dummy read to force the writes to the mailbox data registers to post before the write to the control register on VFs. - Do not check the PCI-e firmware register for errors on VFs. 304170: Add support for register dumps on VF devices. - Add handling of VF register sets to t4_get_regs_len() and t4_get_regs(). - While here, use t4_get_regs_len() in the ioctl handler for regdump instead of inlining it. 304479: Add structures for VF-specific adapter parameters. While here, mark which parameters are PF-specific and which are VF-specific. 304485: Reorder sysctls so that nodes shared with the VF driver are added first. This permits a single early return for VF devices in the routines that add sysctl nodes. 305549: Chelsio T4/T5 VF driver. The cxgbev/cxlv driver supports Virtual Function devices for Chelsio T4 and T4 adapters. The VF devices share most of their code with the existing PF4 driver (cxgbe/cxl) and as such the VF device driver currently depends on the PF4 driver. Similar to the cxgbe/cxl drivers, the VF driver includes a t4vf/t5vf PCI device driver that attaches to the VF device. It then creates child cxgbev/cxlv devices representing ports assigned to the VF. By default, the PF driver assigns a single port to each VF. t4vf_hw.c contains VF-specific routines from the shared code used to fetch VF-specific parameters from the firmware. t4_vf.c contains the VF-specific PCI device driver and includes its own attach routine. VF devices are required to use a different firmware request when transmitting packets (which in turn requires a different CPL message to encapsulate messages). This alternate firmware request does not permit chaining multiple packets in a single message, so each packet results in a firmware request. In addition, the different CPL message requires more detailed information when enabling hardware checksums, so parse_pkt() on VF devices must examine L2 and L3 headers for all packets (not just TSO packets) for VF devices. Finally, L2 checksums on non-UDP/non-TCP packets do not work reliably (the firmware trashes the IPv4 fragment field), so IPv4 checksums for such packets are calculated in software. Most of the other changes in the non-VF-specific code are to expose various variables and functions private to the PF driver so that they can be used by the VF driver. Note that a limited subset of cxgbetool functions are supported on VF devices including register dumps, scheduler classes, and clearing of statistics. In addition, TOE is not supported on VF devices, only for the PF interfaces. Sponsored by: Chelsio Communications

* Add support for configuring additional virtual interfaces (VIs) on a port.jhb2015-12-031-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each virtual interface has its own MAC address, queues, and statistics. The dedicated netmap interfaces (ncxgbeX / ncxlX) were already implemented as additional VIs on each port. This change allows additional non-netmap interfaces to be configured on each port. Additional virtual interfaces use the naming scheme vcxgbeX or vcxlX. Additional VIs are enabled by setting the hw.cxgbe.num_vis tunable to a value greater than 1 before loading the cxgbe(4) or cxl(4) driver. NB: The first VI on each port is the "main" interface (cxgbeX or cxlX). T4/T5 NICs provide a limited number of MAC addresses for each physical port. As a result, a maximum of six VIs can be configured on each port (including the "main" interface and the netmap interface when netmap is enabled). One user-visible result is that when netmap is enabled, packets received or transmitted via the netmap interface are no longer counted in the stats for the "main" interface, but are not accounted to the netmap interface. The netmap interfaces now also have a new-bus device and export various information sysctl nodes via dev.n(cxgbe|cxl).X. The cxgbetool 'clearstats' command clears the stats for all VIs on the specified port along with the port's stats. There is currently no way to clear the stats of an individual VI.
