The AdminQ is fine for sending messages and requests to the NIC,

Most of the NIC configuration happens through the AdminQ message

The ionic interrupt model is based on interrupt control blocks
accessed through the PCI BAR. Doorbell registers are used by
the driver to signal to the NIC that requests are waiting on
the message queues. Interrupts are used by the NIC to signal
to the driver that answers are waiting on the completion queues.

Adding support for port 5.
Port 5 can muxed/interface to:
- internal 5th GMAC of the switch; can be used as 2nd CPU port or as
extra port with an external phy for a 6th ethernet port.
- internal PHY of port 0 or 4; Used in most applications so that port 0
or 4 is the WAN port and interfaces with the 2nd GMAC of the SOC.

heavy-duty truck industry in the United States, it is now widely used in
other parts of the world.
J1939, ISO 11783 and NMEA 2000 all share the same high level protocol.
SAE J1939 can be considered the replacement for the older SAE J1708 and

can_dev_rcv_lists
This patch removes the old method of allocating the per device protocol
specific memory via a netdevice_notifier. This had the drawback, that
the allocation can fail, leading to a lot of null pointer checks in the
code. This also makes the live cycle management of this memory quite
complicated.
This patch switches from the allocating the struct can_dev_rcv_lists in
a NETDEV_REGISTER call to using the dev->ml_priv, which is allocated by
the driver since the previous patch.

This patch introduces the CAN midlayer private structure ("struct
can_ml_priv") which should be used to hold protocol specific per device
data structures. For now it's only member is "struct can_dev_rcv_lists".
The CAN midlayer private is allocated via alloc_netdev()'s private and
assigned to "struct net_device::ml_priv" during device creation. This is
done transparently for CAN drivers using alloc_candev(). The slcan, vcan
and vxcan drivers which are not using alloc_candev() have been adopted
manually. The memory layout of the netdev_priv allocated via
alloc_candev() will looke like this:
+-------------------------+
| driver's priv |
+-------------------------+
| struct can_ml_priv |

100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-09-03
This series contains updates to ice driver only.
Anirudh adds the ability for the driver to handle EMP resets correctly
by adding the logic to the existing ice_reset_subtask().
Jeb fixes up the logic to properly free up the resources for a switch
rule whether or not it was successful in the removal.
Brett fixes up the reporting of ITR values to let the user know odd ITR
values are not allowed. Fixes the driver to only disable VLAN pruning
on VLAN deletion when the VLAN being deleted is the last VLAN on the VF
VSI.
Chinh updates the driver to determine the TSA value from the priority
value when in CEE mode.
Bruce aligns the driver with the hardware specification by ensuring that
a PF reset is done as part of the unload logic. Also update the driver
unloading field, based on the latest hardware specification, which
allows us to remove an unnecessary endian conversion. Moves #defines
based on their need in the code.
Jesse adds the current state of auto-negotiation in the link up message.
In addition, adds additional information to inform the user of an issue
with the topology/configuration of the link.
Usha updates the driver to allow the maximum TCs that the firmware
supports, rather than hard coding to a set value.
Dave updates the DCB initialization flow to handle the case of an actual
error during DCB init. Updated the driver to report the current stats,
even when the netdev is down, which aligns with our other drivers.
Mitch fixes the VF reset code flows to ensure that it properly calls
ice_dis_vsi_txq() to notify the firmware that the VF is being reset.
Michal fixes the driver so the DCB is not enabled when the SW LLDP is
activated, which was causing a communication issue with other NICs. The
problem lies in that DCB was being enabled without checking the number
of TCs.

mlx5-updates-2019-09-01 (Software steering support)
Abstract:
--------
Mellanox ConnetX devices supports packet matching, packet modification and
redirection. These functionalities are also referred to as flow-steering.
To configure a steering rule, the rule is written to the device owned
memory, this memory is accessed and cached by the device when processing
a packet.
Steering rules are constructed from multiple steering entries (STE).
Rules are configured using the Firmware command interface. The Firmware
processes the given driver command and translates them to STEs, then
writes them to the device memory in the current steering tables.
This process is slow due to the architecture of the command interface and
the processing complexity of each rule.
The highlight of this patchset is to cut the middle man (The firmware) and
do steering rules programming into device directly from the driver, with
no firmware intervention whatsoever.
Motivation:
-----------
Software (driver managed) steering allows for high rule insertion rates
compared to the FW steering described above, this is achieved by using
internal RDMA writes to the device owned memory instead of the slow
command interface to program steering rules.
Software (driver managed) steering, doesn't depend on new FW
for new steering functionality, new implementations can be done in the
driver skipping the FW layer.
Performance:
------------
The insertion rate on a single core using the new approach allows
programming ~300K rules per sec. (Done via direct raw test to the new mlx5
sw steering layer, without any kernel layer involved).
Test: TC L2 rules
33K/s with Software steering (this patchset).
5K/s with FW and current driver.
This will improve OVS based solution performance.
Architecture and implementation details:
----------------------------------------
Software steering will be dynamically selected via devlink device
parameter. Example:
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode
pci/0000:06:00.0:
name flow_steering_mode type driver-specific
values:
cmode runtime value smfs
mlx5 software steering module a.k.a (DR - Direct Rule) is implemented
and contained in mlx5/core/steering directory and controlled by
MLX5_SW_STEERING kconfig flag.
mlx5 core steering layer (fs_core) already provides a shim layer for
implementing different steering mechanisms, software steering will
leverage that as seen at the end of this series.
When Software Steering for a specific steering domain
(NIC/RDMA/Vport/ESwitch, etc ..) is supported, it will cause rules
targeting this domain to be created using SW steering instead of FW.
The implementation includes:
Domain - The steering domain is the object that all other object resides
in. It holds the memory allocator, send engine, locks and other shared
data needed by lower objects such as table, matcher, rule, action.
Each domain can contain multiple tables. Domain is equivalent to
namespaces e.g (NIC/RDMA/Vport/ESwitch, etc ..) as implemented
currently in mlx5_core fs_core (flow steering core).
Table - Table objects are used for holding multiple matchers, each table
has a level used to prevent processing loops. Packets are being
directed to this table once it is set as the root table, this is done
by fs_core using a FW command. A packet is being processed inside the
table matcher by matcher until a successful hit, otherwise the packet
will perform the default action.
Matcher - Matchers objects are used to specify the fields mask for
matching when processing a packet. A matcher belongs to a table, each
matcher can hold multiple rules, each rule with different matching
values corresponding to the matcher mask. Each matcher has a priority
used for rule processing order inside the table.
Action - Action objects are created to specify different steering actions
such as count, reformat (encapsulate, decapsulate, ...), modify
header, forward to table and many other actions. When creating a rule
a sequence of actions can be provided to be executed on a successful
match.
Rule - Rule objects are used to specify a specific match on packets as
well as the actions that should be executed. A rule belongs to a
matcher.
STE - This layer is used to hold the specific STE format for the device
and to convert the requested rule to STEs. Each rule is constructed of
an STE chain, Multiple rules construct a steering graph. Each node in
the graph is a hash table containing multiple STEs. The index of each
STE in the hash table is being calculated using a CRC32 hash function.
Memory pool - Used for managing and caching device owned memory for rule
insertion. The memory is being allocated using DM (device memory) API.
Communication with device - layer for standard RDMA operation using RC QP
to configure the device steering.
Command utility - This module holds all of the FW commands that are
required for SW steering to function.
Patch planning and files:
-------------------------
1) First patch, adds the support to Add flow steering actions to fs_cmd
shim layer.
2) Next 12 patch will add a file per each Software steering
functionality/module as described above. (See patches with title: DR, *)
3) Add CONFIG_MLX5_SW_STEERING for software steering support and enable
build with the new files
4) Next two patches will add the support for software steering in mlx5
steering shim layer
net/mlx5: Add API to set the namespace steering mode
net/mlx5: Add direct rule fs_cmd implementation
5) Last two patches will add the new devlink parameter to select mlx5
steering mode, will be valid only for switchdev mode for now.
Two modes are supported:
1. DMFS - Device managed flow steering
2. SMFS - Software/Driver managed flow steering.
In the DMFS mode, the HW steering entities are created through the
FW. In the SMFS mode this entities are created though the driver
directly.
The driver will use the devlink steering mode only if the steering
domain supports it, for now SMFS will manages only the switchdev
eswitch steering domain.
User command examples:
- Set SMFS flow steering mode::
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode value "smfs" cmode runtime
- Read device flow steering mode::
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode
pci/0000:06:00.0:
name flow_steering_mode type driver-specific
values:
cmode runtime value smfs
