====================
nfp: introduce nfp_port and nfp_app
This series builds foundation for upcoming development. So far the nfp
driver was focused on delivering basic NIC-like functionality. We want
to switch gears a bit going forward and support more advanced applications.
First few patches are naming clean ups and reshuffling. The two main
structures this series adds are nfp_port and nfp_app.
nfp_port represents a device port, where port can mean external port,
VF or PF. For now only external port/MAC/PHY port is added. nfp_port
is supposed to make it easy to share ethtool and devlink code regardless
of netdev type (full vNIC vs representors).
nfp_app is an abstraction which should allow easier development of new
applications. So far we have relied fully on port capabilities to detect
which offloads and features are available. The usual development model
for NFP is that people start with one of our "core NIC" FW apps (C one,
or a macro assembler one) and build advanced functionality on top of that.
Therefore basic netdev code is shared, but the higher-level logic is
usually more project specific. The higher-level logic is also per-adapter
rather than per-port, so creating per-adapter control entity makes sense.
Hopefully the separation of lower-level netdev code and application logic
will help us limit interdependencies and accelerate parallel projects
(e.g. TC flower offloads vs eBPF offload).
v2:
- don't hide definition of nfp_app to avoid silly function calls (Dave);
- reorder kdoc of nfp_main (Simon);
- make nfp_netdev_is_nfp_net() static inline as well.

- inline sw_tx_timestamp() in its only user
Changes RFC->v1:
- reworked SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_PKTINFO patch to not add new fields to
skb shared info (net device is now looked up by napi_id), not require
any changes in drivers, and restrict the cmsg to incoming packets
- renamed SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_MULTIMSG to SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW
and fixed its description
- moved struct scm_ts_pktinfo from errqueue.h to net_tstamp.h as it
can't be received from the error queue anymore
- improved commit descriptions and removed incorrect comment
This patchset adds new options to the timestamping API that will be
useful for NTP implementations and possibly other applications.
The first patch specifies a timestamp filter for NTP packets. The second
patch updates drivers that can timestamp all packets, or need to list
the filter as unsupported. There is no attempt to add the support to the
phyter driver.
The third patch adds two helper functions working with NAPI ID, which is
needed by the next patch. The fourth patch adds a new option to get a
new control message with the L2 length and interface index for incoming
packets with hardware timestamps.
The fifth patch fixes documentation on number of non-zero fields in
scm_timestamping and warns about false software timestamps when
SO_TIMESTAMP(NS) is combined with SCM_TIMESTAMPING.
The sixth patch adds a new option to request both software and hardware
timestamps for outgoing packets. The seventh patch updates drivers that
assumed software timestamping cannot be used together with hardware
timestamping.
The patches have been tested on x86_64 machines with igb and e1000e
drivers.

when a hardware transmit timestamp is expected to be provided by the

Applications using this option will receive two separate messages from
the error queue, one with a software timestamp and the other with a
hardware timestamp. As the hardware timestamp is saved to the shared skb
info, which may happen before the first message with software timestamp
is received by the application, the hardware timestamp is copied to the
SCM_TIMESTAMPING control message only when the skb has no software
timestamp or it is an incoming packet.
While changing sw_tx_timestamp(), inline it in skb_tx_timestamp() as
there are no other users.

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_PKTINFO option to request a new control message
for incoming packets with hardware timestamps. It contains the index of
the real interface which received the packet and the length of the
packet at layer 2.
The index is useful with bonding, bridges and other interfaces, where
IP_PKTINFO doesn't allow applications to determine which PHC made the
timestamp. With the L2 length (and link speed) it is possible to
transpose preamble timestamps to trailer timestamps, which are used in
the NTP protocol.
While this information could be provided by two new socket options
independently from timestamping, it doesn't look like they would be very
useful. With this option any performance impact is limited to hardware
timestamping.
Use dev_get_by_napi_id() to get the device and its index. On kernels
with disabled CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL or drivers not using NAPI, a zero
index will be returned in the control message.

Current largesend and checksum offload feature in ibmveth driver,
- Source VM sends the TCP packets with ip_summed field set as
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and TCP pseudo header checksum is placed in
checksum field
- CHECKSUM_PARTIAL flag in SKB will enable ibmveth driver to mark
"no checksum" and "checksum good" bits in transmit buffer descriptor
before the packet is delivered to pseries PowerVM Hypervisor
- If ibmveth has largesend capability enabled, transmit buffer descriptors
are market accordingly before packet is delivered to Hypervisor
(along with mss value for packets with length > MSS)
- Destination VM's ibmveth driver receives the packet with "checksum good"
bit set and so, SKB's ip_summed field is set with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
- If "largesend" bit was on, mss value is copied from receive descriptor
into SKB's gso_size and other flags are appropriately set for
packets > MSS size
- The packet is now successfully delivered up the stack in destination VM
The offloads described above works fine for TCP communication among VMs in
the same pseries server ( VM A <=> PowerVM Hypervisor <=> VM B )
We are now enabling support for OVS in pseries PowerVM environment. One of
our requirements is to have ibmveth driver configured in "Trunk" mode, when
they are used with OVS. This is because, PowerVM Hypervisor will no more
bridge the packets between VMs, instead the packets are delivered to
IO Server which hosts OVS to bridge them between VMs or to external
networks (flow shown below),
VM A <=> PowerVM Hypervisor <=> IO Server(OVS) <=> PowerVM Hypervisor
<=> VM B
In "IO server" the packet is received by inbound Trunk ibmveth and then
delivered to OVS, which is then bridged to outbound Trunk ibmveth (shown
below),
Inbound Trunk ibmveth <=> OVS <=> Outbound Trunk ibmveth
In this model, we hit the following issues which impacted the VM
communication performance,
- Issue 1: ibmveth doesn't support largesend and checksum offload features
when configured as "Trunk". Driver has explicit checks to prevent
enabling these offloads.
- Issue 2: SYN packet drops seen at destination VM. When the packet
originates, it has CHECKSUM_PARTIAL flag set and as it gets delivered to
IO server's inbound Trunk ibmveth, on validating "checksum good" bits
in ibmveth receive routine, SKB's ip_summed field is set with
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY flag. This packet is then bridged by OVS (or Linux
Bridge) and delivered to outbound Trunk ibmveth. At this point the
outbound ibmveth transmit routine will not set "no checksum" and
"checksum good" bits in transmit buffer descriptor, as it does so only
when the ip_summed field is CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. When this packet gets
delivered to destination VM, TCP layer receives the packet with checksum
value of 0 and with no checksum related flags in ip_summed field. This
leads to packet drops. So, TCP connections never goes through fine.
- Issue 3: First packet of a TCP connection will be dropped, if there is
no OVS flow cached in datapath. OVS while trying to identify the flow,
computes the checksum. The computed checksum will be invalid at the
receiving end, as ibmveth transmit routine zeroes out the pseudo
checksum value in the packet. This leads to packet drop.
- Issue 4: ibmveth driver doesn't have support for SKB's with frag_list.
When Physical NIC has GRO enabled and when OVS bridges these packets,
OVS vport send code will end up calling dev_queue_xmit, which in turn
calls validate_xmit_skb.
In validate_xmit_skb routine, the larger packets will get segmented into
MSS sized segments, if SKB has a frag_list and if the driver to which
they are delivered to doesn't support NETIF_F_FRAGLIST feature.
This patch addresses the above four issues, thereby enabling end to end
largesend and checksum offload support for better performance.
- Fix for Issue 1 : Remove checks which prevent enabling TCP largesend and
checksum offloads.
- Fix for Issue 2 : When ibmveth receives a packet with "checksum good"
bit set and if its configured in Trunk mode, set appropriate SKB fields
using skb_partial_csum_set (ip_summed field is set with
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL)
- Fix for Issue 3: Recompute the pseudo header checksum before sending the
SKB up the stack.
- Fix for Issue 4: Linearize the SKBs with frag_list. Though we end up
allocating buffers and copying data, this fix gives
upto 4X throughput increase.
Note: All these fixes need to be dropped together as fixing just one of
them will lead to other issues immediately (especially for Issues 1,2 & 3).
