Daniel Pieczko 2768935a46 sfc: reuse pages to avoid DMA mapping/unmapping costs
On POWER systems, DMA mapping/unmapping operations are very expensive.
These changes reduce these costs by trying to reuse DMA mapped pages.

After all the buffers associated with a page have been processed and
passed up, the page is placed into a ring (if there is room).  For
each page that is required for a refill operation, a page in the ring
is examined to determine if its page count has fallen to 1, ie. the
kernel has released its reference to these packets.  If this is the
case, the page can be immediately added back into the RX descriptor
ring, without having to re-map it for DMA.

If the kernel is still holding a reference to this page, it is removed
from the ring and unmapped for DMA.  Then a new page, which can
immediately be used by RX buffers in the descriptor ring, is allocated
and DMA mapped.

The time a page needs to spend in the recycle ring before the kernel
has released its page references is based on the number of buffers
that use this page.  As large pages can hold more RX buffers, the RX
recycle ring can be shorter.  This reduces memory usage on POWER
systems, while maintaining the performance gain achieved by recycling
pages, following the driver change to pack more than two RX buffers
into large pages.

When an IOMMU is not present, the recycle ring can be small to reduce
memory usage, since DMA mapping operations are inexpensive.

With a small recycle ring, attempting to refill the descriptor queue
with more buffers than the equivalent size of the recycle ring could
ultimately lead to memory leaks if page entries in the recycle ring
were overwritten.  To prevent this, the check to see if the recycle
ring is full is changed to check if the next entry to be written is
NULL.

[bwh: Combine and rebase several commits so this is complete
 before the following buffer-packing changes.  Remove module
 parameter.]

Ben Hutchings 85740cdf0b sfc: Enable RX DMA scattering where possible
Enable RX DMA scattering iff an RX buffer large enough for the current
MTU will not fit into a single page and the NIC supports DMA
scattering for kernel-mode RX queues.

On Falcon and Siena, the RX_USR_BUF_SIZE field is used as the DMA
limit for both all RX queues with scatter enabled.  Set it to 1824,
matching what Onload uses now.

Maintain a statistic for frames truncated due to lack of descriptors
(rx_nodesc_trunc).  This is distinct from rx_frm_trunc which may be
incremented when scattering is disabled and implies an over-length
frame.

Whenever an MTU change causes scattering to be turned on or off,
update filters that point to the PF queues, but leave others
unchanged, as VF drivers assume scattering is off.

Add n_frags parameters to various functions, and make them iterate:
- efx_rx_packet()
- efx_recycle_rx_buffers()
- efx_rx_mk_skb()
- efx_rx_deliver()

Make efx_handle_rx_event() responsible for updating
efx_rx_queue::removed_count.

Change the RX pipeline state to a starting ring index and number of
fragments, and make __efx_rx_packet() responsible for clearing it.

Based on earlier versions by David Riddoch and Jon Cooper.

Ben Hutchings f7251a9ce9 sfc: Simplify TSO header buffer allocation
TSO header buffers contain a control structure immediately followed by
the packet headers, and are kept on a free list when not in use.  This
complicates buffer management and tends to result in cache read misses
when we recycle such buffers (particularly if DMA-coherent memory
requires caches to be disabled).

Replace the free list with a simple mapping by descriptor index.  We
know that there is always a payload descriptor between any two
descriptors with TSO header buffers, so we can allocate only one
such buffer for each two descriptors.

While we're at it, use a standard error code for allocation failure,
not -1.

Ben Hutchings d4f2cecce1 sfc: Disable VF queues during register self-test
Currently VF queues and drivers may remain active during this test.
This could cause memory corruption or spurious test failures.
Therefore we reset the port/function before running these tests on
Siena.

On Falcon this doesn't work: we have to do some additional
initialisation before some blocks will work again.  So refactor the
reset/register-test sequence into an efx_nic_type method so
efx_selftest() doesn't have to consider such quirks.

In the process, fix another minor bug: Siena does not have an
'invisible' reset and the self-test currently fails to push the PHY
configuration after resetting.  Passing RESET_TYPE_ALL to
efx_reset_{down,up}() fixes this.

Ben Hutchings cd2d5b529c sfc: Add SR-IOV back-end support for SFC9000 family
On the SFC9000 family, each port has 1024 Virtual Interfaces (VIs),
each with an RX queue, a TX queue, an event queue and a mailbox
register.  These may be assigned to up to 127 SR-IOV virtual functions
per port, with up to 64 VIs per VF.

We allocate an extra channel (IRQ and event queue only) to receive
requests from VF drivers.

There is a per-port limit of 4 concurrent RX queue flushes, and queue
flushes may be initiated by the MC in response to a Function Level
Reset (FLR) of a VF.  Therefore, when SR-IOV is in use, we submit all
flush requests via the MC.

The RSS indirection table is shared with VFs, so the number of RX
queues used in the PF is limited to the number of VIs per VF.

Steve Hodgson a606f4325d sfc: Disable flow control during flushes
The TX DMA engine issues upstream read requests when there is room in
the TX FIFO for the completion. However, the fetches for the rest of
the packet might be delayed by any back pressure.  Since a flush must
wait for an EOP, the entire flush may be delayed by back pressure.

Mitigate this by disabling flow control before the flushes are
started.  Since PF and VF flushes run in parallel introduce
fc_disable, a reference count of the number of flushes outstanding.

The same principle could be applied to Falcon, but that
would bring with it its own testing.

flush events and discards any others it finds.  Change it to work with

Ben Hutchings 1646a6f352 sfc: Clean up test interrupt handling
Interrupts are normally generated by the event queues, moderated by
timers.  However, they may also be triggered by detection of a 'fatal'
error condition (e.g. memory parity error) or by the host writing to
certain CSR fields as part of a self-test.

The IRQ level/index used for these on Falcon rev B0 and Siena is set
by the KER_INT_LEVE_SEL field and cached by the driver in
efx_nic::fatal_irq_level.  Since this value is also relevant to
self-tests rename the field to just 'irq_level'.

Avoid unnecessary cache traffic by using a per-channel 'last_irq_cpu'
field and only writing to the per-controller field when the interrupt
matches efx_nic::irq_level.  Remove the volatile qualifier and use
ACCESS_ONCE in the places we read these fields.

Ben Hutchings 18e83e4cd1 sfc: Const-qualify static data as appropriate, partly prompted by checkpatch
Fix the following warnings:

WARNING: struct dev_pm_ops should normally be const
WARNING: static const char * array should probably be static const char * const

Similarly const-qualify struct i2c_board_info, struct i2c_algo_bit_data,
struct efx_ethtool_stat, struct efx_mtd_ops and struct siena_nvram_type_info.
