2016-07-09ibmvnic: Fix passive VNIC server login processThomas Falcon1-2/+59
In some cases, if there is no VNIC server available during the driver probe, the driver should wait until it receives an initialization request from the VNIC Server to start the login process. Recent testing has show that this is incorrectly handled in the current driver. The proposed solution handles this initialization request by scheduling a task in the shared workqueue that completes the login process and registers the net device.

2016-07-09ibmvnic: simplify and improve driver probe functionThomas Falcon1-56/+103
This patch creates a function that handles sub-CRQ IRQ creation separately from sub-CRQ initialization. Another function is then needed to release sub-CRQ resources prior to sub-CRQ IRQ creation. These additions allow the driver probe function to be simplified, specifically during the VNIC Server login process. A timeout is also included while waiting for completion of the login process in case the VNIC Server is not available or some other error occurs.

2016-07-09ibmvnic: dispose irq mappingsThomas Falcon1-0/+2
IRQ mappings were not being properly disposed when releasing sub-CRQ's. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-07-09ibmvnic: properly start and stop tx queuesThomas Falcon1-2/+3
Since ibmvnic uses multiple tx queues, start and stop all queues when opening and closing devices. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-06-29ibmvnic: fix to use list_for_each_safe() when delete itemsWei Yongjun1-7/+7
Since we will remove items off the list using list_del() we need to use a safe version of the list_for_each() macro aptly named list_for_each_safe(). Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-04-09ibmvnic: Enable use of multiple tx/rx scrqsJohn Allen1-20/+36
Enables the use of multiple transmit and receive scrqs allowing the ibmvnic driver to take advantage of multiqueue functionality. To achieve this, the driver must implement the process of negotiating the maximum number of queues allowed by the server. Initially, the driver will attempt to login with the maximum number of tx and rx queues supported by the server. If the server fails to allocate the requested number of scrqs, it will return partial success in the login response. In this case, we must reinitiate the login process from the request capabilities stage and attempt to login requesting fewer scrqs.

2016-04-05ibmvnic: enable RX checksum offloadThomas Falcon1-0/+4
Enable RX Checksum offload feature in the ibmvnic driver. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: John Allen <jallen@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-04-05ibmvnic: map L2/L3/L4 header descriptors to firmwareThomas Falcon1-4/+191
Allow the VNIC driver to provide descriptors containing L2/L3/L4 headers to firmware. This feature is needed for greater hardware compatibility and enablement of checksum and TCP offloading features. A new function is included for the hypervisor call, H_SEND_SUBCRQ_INDIRECT, allowing a DMA-mapped array of SCRQ descriptor elements to be sent to the VNIC server. These additions will help fully enable checksum offloading as well as other features as they are included later.

2016-03-03ibmvnic: Fix ibmvnic_capability structThomas Falcon1-31/+31
The ibmvnic_capability struct was defined incorrectly. The last two elements of the struct are in the wrong order. In addition, the number element should be 64-bit. Byteswapping functions are updated as well. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-12-28Driver for IBM System i/p VNIC protocolThomas Falcon1-0/+3585
This is a new device driver for a high performance SR-IOV assisted virtual network for IBM System p and IBM System i systems. The SR-IOV VF will be attached to the VIOS partition and mapped to the Linux client via the hypervisor's VNIC protocol that this driver implements. This driver is able to perform basic tx and rx, new features and improvements will be added as they are being developed and tested.
