# 255050 29-Aug-2013 np

Implement support for rx buffer packing. Enable it by default for T5
cards.

This is a T4 and T5 chip feature which lets the chip deliver multiple
Ethernet frames in a single buffer. This is more efficient within the
chip, in the driver, and reduces wastage of space in rx buffers.

- Always allocate rx buffers from the jumbop zone, no matter what the
MTU is. Do not use the normal cluster refcounting mechanism.
- Reserve space for an mbuf and a refcount in the cluster itself and let
the chip DMA multiple frames in the rest.
- Use the embedded mbuf for the first frame and allocate mbufs on the
fly for any additional frames delivered in the cluster. Each of these
mbufs has a reference on the underlying cluster.


# 255015 29-Aug-2013 np

# 253691 26-Jul-2013 np

Add support for packet-sniffing tracers to cxgbe(4). This works with
all T4 and T5 based cards and is useful for analyzing TSO, LRO, TOE, and
for general purpose monitoring without tapping any cxgbe or cxl ifnet
directly.

Tracers on the T4/T5 chips provide access to Ethernet frames exactly as
they were received from or transmitted on the wire. On transmit, a
tracer will capture a frame after TSO segmentation, hw VLAN tag
insertion, hw L3 & L4 checksum insertion, etc. It will also capture
frames generated by the TCP offload engine (TOE traffic is normally
invisible to the kernel). On receive, a tracer will capture a frame
before hw VLAN extraction, runt filtering, other badness filtering,
before the steering/drop/L2-rewrite filters or the TOE have had a go at
it, and of course before sw LRO in the driver.

There are 4 tracers on a chip. A tracer can trace only in one direction
(tx or rx). For now cxgbetool will set up tracers to capture the first
128B of every transmitted or received frame on a given port. This is a
small subset of what the hardware can do. A pseudo ifnet with the same
name as the nexus driver (t4nex0 or t5nex0) will be created for tracing.
The data delivered to this ifnet is an additional copy made inside the
chip. Normal delivery to cxgbe<n> or cxl<n> will be made as usual.

/* watch cxl0, which is the first port hanging off t5nex0. */
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 0 tx0 (watch what cxl0 is transmitting)
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 1 rx0 (watch what cxl0 is receiving)
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer list
# tcpdump -i t5nex0 <== all that cxl0 sees and puts on the wire

If you were doing TSO, a tcpdump on cxl0 may have shown you ~64K
"frames" with no L3/L4 checksum but this will show you the frames that
were actually transmitted.

/* all done */
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 0 disable
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 1 disable
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer list

- Make note of interface MTU change if the rx queues exist, and not just

- Add a tunable to control the TOE's rx coalesce feature (enabled by
default as it always has been). Consider the interface MTU or the
coalesce size when deciding which cluster zone to use to fill the
offload rx queue's free list. The tunable is:

# 248925 30-Mar-2013 np

cxgbe(4): Add support for Chelsio's Terminator 5 (aka T5) ASIC. This
includes support for the NIC and TOE features of the 40G, 10G, and
1G/100M cards based on the T5.

The ASIC is mostly backward compatible with the Terminator 4 so cxgbe(4)
has been updated instead of writing a brand new driver. T5 cards will
show up as cxl (short for cxlgb) ports attached to the t5nex bus driver.

# 245274 10-Jan-2013 np

cxgbe(4): Add functions to help synchronize "slow" operations (those not
on the fast data path) and use them instead of frobbing the adapter lock
and busy flag directly.

Other changes made while reworking all slow operations:
- Wait for the reply to a filter request (add/delete). This guarantees
that the operation is complete by the time the ioctl returns.
- Tidy up the tid_info structure.
- Do not allow the tx queue size to be set to something that's not a
power of 2.

The former works better with qualifiers, but also properly type checks

Remove unused item. cxgbe's rx queue's lock was removed a long time ago.

MFC after: 3 days


# 239341 16-Aug-2012 np

Initialize various DDP parameters in the main cxgbe(4) driver:

- Setup multiple DDP page sizes. When the driver attempts DDP it will
try to combine physically contiguous pages into regions of these sizes.

- Set the indicate size such that the payload carried in the indicate can
be copied in the header mbuf (and the 16K rx buffer can be recycled).

- Set DDP threshold to the max payload that the chip will coalesce and
deliver to the driver (this is ~16K by default, which is also why the
offload rx queue is backed by 16K buffers). If the chip is able to
coalesce up to the max it's allowed to, it's a good sign that the peer
is transmitting in bulk without any TCP PSH.

# 239338 16-Aug-2012 np

Add a routine (t4_set_tcb_field) to update arbitrary parts of a hardware
TCB. Filters are programmed by modifying the TCB too (via a different
routine) and the reply to any TCB update is delivered via a
CPL_SET_TCB_RPL. Figure out whether the reply is for a filter-write or
something else and route it appropriately.

cxgbe(4): support for IPv6 TSO and LRO.

Submitted by: bz (this is a modified version of that patch)


# 237263 19-Jun-2012 np

- Updated TOE support in the kernel.

- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
usual with or without these extra features.

- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the
works and will follow soon.

Build-tested with make universe.

30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE

Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe

Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe

# 235944 24-May-2012 bz

MFp4 bz_ipv6_fast:

Significantly update tcp_lro for mostly two things:
1) introduce basic support for IPv6 without extension headers.
2) try hard to also get the incremental checksum updates right,
especially also in the IPv4 case for the IP and TCP header.

Move variables around for better locality, factor things out into
functions, allow checksum updates to be compiled out, ...

Leave a few comments on further things to look at in the future,
though that is not the full list.

Update drivers with appropriate #includes as needed for IPv6 data
type in LRO.

Many updates to cxgbe(4)

- Device configuration via plain text config file. Also able to operate
when not attached to the chip as the master driver.

- Generic "work request" queue that serves as the base for both ctrl and
ofld tx queues.

- Generic interrupt handler routine that can process any event on any
kind of ingress queue (via a dispatch table).

- A couple of new driver ioctls. cxgbetool can now install a firmware
to the card ("loadfw" command) and can read the card's memory
("memdump" and "tcb" commands).

- Lots of assorted information within dev.t4nex.X.misc.* This is
primarily for debugging and won't show up in sysctl -a.

- Code to manage the L2 tables on the chip.

- Updates to cxgbe(4) man page to go with the tunables that have changed.

- Updates to the shared code in common/

- Updates to the driver-firmware interface (now at fw 1.4.16.0)

L2 table code. This is enough to get the T4's switch + L2 rewrite
filters working. (All other filters - switch without L2 info rewrite,
steer, and drop - were already fully-functional).

Some contrived examples of "switch" filters with L2 rewriting:

# cxgbetool t4nex0 iport 0 dport 80 action switch vlan +9 eport 3
Intercept all packets received on physical port 0 with TCP port 80 as
destination, insert a vlan tag with VID 9, and send them out of port 3.

# cxgbetool t4nex0 sip 192.168.1.1/32 ivlan 5 action switch \
vlan =9 smac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff eport 0
Intercept all packets (received on any port) with source IP address
192.168.1.1 and VLAN id 5, rewrite the VLAN id to 9, rewrite source mac
to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, and send it out of port 0.

# 220649 15-Apr-2011 np

Fix a couple of bad races that can occur when a cxgbe interface is taken
down. The ingress queue lock was unused and has been removed as part of
these changes.

- An in-flight egress update from the SGE must be handled before the
queue that requested it is destroyed. Wait for the update to arrive.

- Interrupt handlers must stop processing rx events for a queue before
the queue is destroyed. Events that have not yet been processed
should be ignored once the queue disappears.
