The dynamic ITR algorithm depends on a calculation of usecs which
assumes that the interrupts have been firing constantly at the interrupt
throttle rate. This is not guaranteed because we could have a low packet
rate, or have been polling in software.
We'll estimate whether this is the case by using jiffies to determine if
we've been too long. If the time difference of jiffies is larger we are
guaranteed to have an incorrect calculation. If the time difference of
jiffies is smaller we might have been polling some but the difference
shouldn't affect the calculation too much.
This ensures that we don't get stuck in BULK latency during certain rare
situations where we receive bursts of packets that force us into NAPI
polling.

Since commit c56625d59726 ("i40e/i40evf: change dynamic interrupt
thresholds") a new higher latency ITR setting called I40E_ULTRA_LATENCY
was added with a cryptic comment about how it was meant for adjusting Rx
more aggressively when streaming small packets.
This mode was attempting to calculate packets per second and then kick
in when we have a huge number of small packets.
Unfortunately, the ULTRA setting was kicking in for workloads it wasn't
intended for including single-thread UDP_STREAM workloads.
This wasn't caught for a variety of reasons. First, the ip_defrag
routines were improved somewhat which makes the UDP_STREAM test still
reasonable at 10GbE, even when dropped down to 8k interrupts a second.
Additionally, some other obvious workloads appear to work fine, such
as TCP_STREAM.
The number 40k doesn't make sense for a number of reasons. First, we
absolutely can do more than 40k packets per second. Second, we calculate
the value inline in an integer, which sometimes can overflow resulting
in using incorrect values.
If we fix this overflow it makes it even more likely that we'll enter
ULTRA mode which is the opposite of what we want.
The ULTRA mode was added originally as a way to reduce CPU utilization
during a small packet workload where we weren't keeping up anyways. It
should never have been kicking in during these other workloads.
Given the issues outlined above, let's remove the ULTRA latency mode. If
necessary, a better solution to the CPU utilization issue for small
packet workloads will be added in a future patch.

The number of flags found in pf->flags has grown quite large, and there
are a lot of different types of flags. Most of the flags are simply
hardware features which are enabled on some firmware or some MAC types.
Other flags are dynamic run-time flags which enable or disable certain
features of the driver.
Separate these two types of flags into pf->hw_features and pf->flags.
The hw_features list will contain a set of features which are enabled at
init time. This will not contain toggles or otherwise dynamically
changing features. These flags should not need atomic protections, as
they will be set once during init and then be essentially read only.
Everything else will remain in the flags variable. These flags may be
modified at any time during run time. A future patch may wish to convert
these flags into set_bit/clear_bit/test_bit or similar approach to
ensure atomic correctness.
The I40E_FLAG_MFP_ENABLED flag may be a good fit for hw_features but
currently is used by ethtool in the private flags settings, and thus has
been left as part of flags.
Additionally, I40E_FLAG_DCB_CAPABLE may be a good fit for the
hw_features but this patch has not tried to untangle it yet.

This patch adds padding to the start of frames to make room for headroom
for us to eventually start using build_skb. Right now we guarantee at
least NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN, however we allocate more space if more is
available. For example on x86 the headroom should be 192 bytes.
On systems that have too large of a cache line size to support storing 1.5K
padding and shared info we default to using 3K buffers and reserve
everything that isn't used for skb_shared_info or the data buffer for
headroom.

There are situations where adding padding to the front and back of an Rx
buffer will require that we add additional padding. Specifically if
NET_IP_ALIGN is non-zero, or the MTU size is larger than 7.5K we would need
to use 2K buffers which leaves us with no room for the padding.
To preemptively address these cases I am adding support for 3K buffers to
the Rx path so that we can provide the additional padding needed in the
event of NET_IP_ALIGN being non-zero or a cache line being greater than 64.

This patch greatly reduces the unneeded complexity in the
i40e_detect_recover_hung_queue code path. The previous implementation
set a 'hung bit' which would then get cleared while polling. If the
detection routine was called a second time with the bit already set, we
would issue a software interrupt. This patch makes it such that if
interrupts are disabled and we have pending TX descriptors, we trigger a
software interrupt since in, the worst case, queues are already clean
and we have an extra interrupt.
Additionally this patch removes the workaround for lost interrupts as
calling napi_reschedule in this context can cause software interrupts to
fire on the wrong CPU.

This patch changes the way we handle the maximum frame size for the Rx
path. Previously we were rounding up to 2K for a 1500 MTU and then brining
the max frame size down to MTU plus a fixed amount. With this patch
applied what we now do is limit the maximum frame to 1.5K minus the value
for NET_IP_ALIGN for standard MTU, and for any MTU greater than 1500 we
allow up to the maximum frame size. This makes the behavior more
consistent with the other drivers such as igb which had similar logic. In
addition it reduces the test matrix for MTU since we only have two max
frame sizes that are handled for Rx now.

Looking over the code for FCoE it looks like the Rx path has been broken at
least since the last major Rx refactor almost a year ago. It seems like
FCoE isn't supported for any of the Fortville/Fortpark hardware so there
isn't much point in carrying the code around, especially if it is broken
and untested.

Update the driver code so that we do bulk updates of the page reference
count instead of just incrementing it by one reference at a time. The
advantage to doing this is that we cut down on atomic operations and
this in turn should give us a slight improvement in cycles per packet.
In addition if we eventually move this over to using build_skb the gains
will be more noticeable.
I also found and fixed a store forwarding stall from where we were
assigning "*new_buff = *old_buff". By breaking it up into individual
copies we can avoid this and as a result the performance is slightly
improved.

This patch adds support for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC and
DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING. By enabling both of these for the Rx path we
are able to see performance improvements on architectures that implement
either one due to the fact that page mapping and unmapping only has to
sync what is actually being used instead of the entire buffer. In addition
by enabling the weak ordering attribute enables a performance improvement
for architectures that can associate a memory ordering with a DMA buffer
such as Sparc.

This patch reduces the size of struct i40e_rx_buffer by one pointer,
and makes the i40e driver a little more consistent with the igb driver
in terms of packets that span buffers.
We do this by moving the skb field from struct i40e_rx_buffer to
struct i40e_ring. We pass the skb we already have (or NULL if we
don't) to i40e_fetch_rx_buffer(), which skips the skb allocation if we
already have one for this packet.

This patch refactors the macro INTRL_USEC_TO_REG into a static inline
function and fixes a couple subtle bugs caused by the macro.
This patch fixes a bug which was caused by passing a bad register value
to the firmware. If enabling interrupt rate limiting, a non-zero value
for the rate limit must be used. Otherwise the firmware sets the
interrupt rate limit to the maximum value. Due to the limited
resolution of the register, attempting to set a value of 1, 2, or 3
would be rounded down to 0 and limiting was left enabled, causing
unexpected behavior.
This patch also fixes a possible bug in which using the macro itself can
introduce unintended side-affects because the macro argument is used
more than once in the macro definition (e.g. a variable post-increment
argument would perform a double increment on the variable).
Without this patch, attempting to set interrupt rate limits of 1, 2, or
3 results in unexpected behavior and future use of this macro could
cause subtle bugs.

This patch reorders the logic at the end of i40e_tx_map to address the
fact that the logic was rather convoluted and much larger than it needed
to be.
In order to try and coalesce the code paths I have updated some of the
comments and repurposed some of the variables in order to reduce
unnecessary overhead.
This patch does the following:
1. Quit tracking skb->xmit_more with a flag, just max out packet_stride
2. Drop tail_bump and do_rs and instead just use desc_count and td_cmd
3. Pull comments from ixgbe that make need for wmb() more explicit.

The current Rx timestamp hang logic is not very robust because it does
not notice a register is hung until all four timestamps have been
latched and we wait a full 5 seconds. Replace this logic with a newer Rx
hang detection based on storing the jiffies when we first notice
a receive timestamp event. We store each register's time separately,
along with a flag indicating if it is currently latched. Upon first
transitioning to latch, we will update the latch_events[i] jiffies
value. This indicates the time we first noticed this event. The watchdog
routine will simply check that the either the flag has been cleared, or
we have passed at least one second. In this case, it is able to clear
the Rx timestamp register under the assumption that it was for a dropped
frame. The benefit if this strategy is that we should be able to
detect and clear out stalled RXTIME_H registers before we exhaust the
supply of 4, and avoid complete stall of Rx timestamp events.

The hardware supports a 16 byte descriptor for receive, but the
driver was never using it in production. There was no performance
benefit to the real driver of 16 byte descriptors, so drop a whole
lot of complexity while getting rid of the code.
Also since the previous patch made us use no-split mode all the
time, drop any support in the driver for any other value in dtype
and assume it is always zero (aka no-split).
Hooray for code removal!

This is part 1 of the Rx refactor series, just including
changes to i40e.
This refactor aligns the receive routine with the one in
ixgbe which was highly optimized. This reduces the code
we have to maintain and allows for (hopefully) more readable
and maintainable RX hot path.
In order to do this:
- consolidate the receive path into a single function that doesn't
use packet split but *does* use pages for Rx buffers.
- remove the old _1buf routine
- consolidate several routines into helper functions
- remove ethtool control over packet split

This patch addresses a bug introduced based on my interpretation of the
XL710 datasheet. Specifically section 8.4.1 states that "A single transmit
packet may span up to 8 buffers (up to 8 data descriptors per packet
including both the header and payload buffers)." It then later goes on to
say that each segment for a TSO obeys the previous rule, however it then
refers to TSO header and the segment payload buffers.
I believe the actual limit for fragments with TSO and a skbuff that has
payload data in the header portion of the buffer is actually only 7
fragments as the skb->data portion counts as 2 buffers, one for the TSO
header, and one for a segment payload buffer.

From what I can tell the practical limitation on the size of the Tx data
buffer is the fact that the Tx descriptor is limited to 14 bits. As such
we cannot use 16K as is typically used on the other Intel drivers. However
artificially limiting ourselves to 8K can be expensive as this means that
we will consume up to 10 descriptors (1 context, 1 for header, and 9 for
payload, non-8K aligned) in a single send.
I propose that we can reduce this by increasing the maximum data for a 4K
aligned block to 12K. We can reduce the descriptors used for a 32K aligned
block by 1 by increasing the size like this. In addition we still have the
4K - 1 of space that is still unused. We can use this as a bit of extra
padding when dealing with data that is not aligned to 4K.
By aligning the descriptors after the first to 4K we can improve the
efficiency of PCIe accesses as we can avoid using byte enables and can fetch
full TLP transactions after the first fetch of the buffer. This helps to
improve PCIe efficiency. Below is the results of testing before and after
with this patch:
Recv Send Send Utilization Service Demand
Socket Socket Message Elapsed Send Recv Send Recv
Size Size Size Time Throughput local remote local remote
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/s % S % U us/KB us/KB
Before:
87380 16384 16384 10.00 33682.24 20.27 -1.00 0.592 -1.00
After:
87380 16384 16384 10.00 34204.08 20.54 -1.00 0.590 -1.00
So the net result of this patch is that we have a small gain in throughput
due to a reduction in overhead for putting together the frame.

For i40e driver, each vector has its own ITR register. However, there
are no concept of queue-specific settings in the driver proper. Only
global variable is used to store ITR values. That will cause problems
especially when resetting the vector. The specific ITR values could be
lost.
This patch move rx_itr_setting and tx_itr_setting to i40e_ring to store
specific ITR register for each queue.
i40e_get_coalesce and i40e_set_coalesce are also modified accordingly to
support queue-specific settings. To make it compatible with old ethtool,
if user doesn't specify the queue number, i40e_get_coalesce will return
queue 0's value. While i40e_set_coalesce will apply value to all queues.

This patch is meant to rewrite the logic for how we determine if we can
transmit the frame or if it needs to be linearized.
The previous code for this function was using a mix of division and modulus
division as a part of computing if we need to take the slow path. Instead
I have replaced this by simply working with a sliding window which will
tell us if the frame would be capable of causing a single packet to span
several descriptors.
The logic for the scan is fairly simple. If any given group of 6 fragments
is less than gso_size - 1 then it is possible for us to have one byte
coming out of the first fragment, 6 fragments, and one or more bytes coming
out of the last fragment. This gives us a total of 8 fragments
which exceeds what we can allow so we send such frames to be linearized.
Arguably the use of modulus might be more exact as the approach I propose
may generate some false positives. However the likelihood of us taking much
of a hit for those false positives is fairly low, and I would rather not
add more overhead in the case where we are receiving a frame composed of 4K
pages.

The i40e and i40evf drivers contained code for inserting an outer checksum
on UDP tunnels. The issue however is that the upper levels of the stack
never requested such an offload and it results in possible errors.
In addition the same logic was being applied to the Rx side where it was
attempting to validate the outer checksum, but the logic there was
incorrect in that it was testing for the resultant sum to be equal to the
header checksum instead of being equal to 0.
Since this code is so massively flawed, and doing things that we didn't ask
for it to do I am just dropping it, and will bring it back later to use as
an offload for SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM which can make use of such a
feature.
As far as the Rx feature I am dropping it completely since it would need to
be massively expanded and applied to IPv4 and IPv6 checksums for all parts,
not just the one that supports Tx checksum offload for the outer.

If that happens without this patch we will see a tx_timeout.

Note: napi_reschedule() can be safely called from process/service_task

When in NAPI with interrupts disabled, the HW needs to be forced to do a
write back on TX if the number of descriptors pending are less than a
cache line.
This stat helps keep track of how many times we get into this situation.

The adaptive ITR (interrupt throttle rate) algorithm was adjusting
the hardware's interrupt rate too frequently. This caused a lot
of variation in the interrupt rate for fairly constant workloads.
Change the code to have a counter and adjust only once every N
number of interrupts.

The dynamic algorithm, while now working, doesn't have good
performance in 40G mode.
One part of this patch addresses the high CPU utilization of some small
streaming workloads that the driver should reduce CPU in.
It also changes the minimum ITR that the dynamic algorithm
will settle on, causing our minimum latency to go from 12us
to about 14us, when using adaptive mode.
It also changes the BULK interrupt rate to allow maximum throughput
on a 40Gb connection with a single thread of transmit, clamping
interrupt rate to 8000 for TX makes single thread traffic go too
slow.
The new ULTRA bulk setting is introduced and is used
when the Rx packet rate on this queue exceeds 40000 packets per
second. This value of 40000 was chosen because the automatic tuning
of minimum ITR=20us means that a single queue can't quite achieve
that many packets per second from a round-robin test.

The XL710 hardware has a different interrupt moderation design
that can support a limit of total interrupts per second per
vector, in addition to the "number of interrupts per second"
controls already established in the driver. This combination
of hardware features allows us to set very low default latency
settings but minimize the total CPU utilization by not
making too many interrupts, should the user desire.
The current driver implementation is still enabling the dynamic
moderation in the driver, and only using the rx/tx-usecs
limit in ethtool to limit the interrupt rate per second, by default.
The new code implemented in this patch
2) adds init/use of the new "Interrupt Limit" register
3) adds ethtool knob to control/report the limits above
Usage is ethtool -C ethx rx-usecs-high <value> Where <value> is number
of microseconds to create a rate of 1/N interrupts per second,
regardless of rx-usecs or tx-usecs values. Since there is a credit based
scheme in the hardware, the rx-usecs and tx-usecs can be configured for
very low latency for short bursts, but once the credit runs out the
refill rate on the credits is limited by rx-usecs-high.

Sparse found some issues with 32 bit compilation, which probably should
at least work without warning. Not only that, but the code was wrong.
Thanks sparse!!

This patch fixes the issue of forcing WB too often causing us to not
benefit from NAPI.
Without this patch we were forcing WB/arming interrupt too often taking
away the benefits of NAPI and causing a performance impact.
With this patch we disable force WB in the clean routine for X710
and XL710 adapters. X722 adapters do not enable interrupt to force
a WB and benefit from WB_ON_ITR and hence force WB is left enabled
for those adapters.
For XL710 and X710 adapters if we have less than 4 packets pending
a software Interrupt triggered from service task will force a WB.
This patch also changes the conditions for setting RS bit as described
in code comments. This optimizes when the HW does a tail bump and when
it does a WB. It also optimizes when we do a wmb.

This patch modifies the driver timeout logic by issuing a writeback
request via a software interrupt to the hardware the first time the
driver detects a hang. The driver was too aggressive in resetting a hung
queue, so back that off by removing logic to down the netdevice after
too many hangs, and move the function to the service task.

X722 fixes an issue from X710 where TX descriptor WB would not happen if
the interrupts were disabled. In order for the write backs to happen a
bit needs to be set in the dynamic interrupt control register called
WB_ON_ITR. With this feature, the SW driver need not arm SW interrupts to
work around the issue in X710.
