John Fastabend 16b61beb39 ixgbe: DCB set PFC high and low water marks per data sheet specs
Currently the high and low water marks for PFC are being set
conservatively for jumbo frames. This means the RX buffers
are being underutilized in the default 1500 MTU. This patch
fixes this so that the water marks are set as described in
the data sheet considering the MTU size.

The equation used is,

RTT * 1.44 + MTU * 1.44 + MTU

Where RTT is the round trip time and MTU is the max frame size
in KB. To avoid floating point arithmetic FC_HIGH_WATER is
defined

((((RTT + MTU) * 144) + 99) / 100) + MTU

This changes how the hardware field fc.low_water and
fc.high_water are used. With this change they are no longer
storing the actual low water and high water markers but are
storing the required head room in the buffer. This simplifies
the logic and we do not need to account for the size of the
buffer when setting the thresholds.

Testing with iperf and 16 threads showed a slight uptick in
throughput over a single traffic class .1-.2Gbps and a reduction
in pause frames. Without the patch a 30 second run would show
~10-15 pause frames being transmitted with the patch ~2-5 are
seen. Test were run back to back with 82599.

Note RXPBSIZE is in KB and low and high water marks fields are
also in KB. However the FCRT* registers are 32B granularity and
right shifted 5 into the register,

(((rx_pbsize - water_mark) * 1024) / 32) << 5

is the most explicit conversion here we simplify

(rx_pbsize - water_mark) * 32 << 5 = (rx_pbsize - water_mark) << 10

This patch updates the PFC thresholds and legacy FC thresholds.

Peter P Waskiewicz Jr 264857b8fe ixgbe: Allow link flow control in DCB mode for 82599 adapters
82599 supports using either link flow control or priority flow control when
in DCB mode.  The dcbnl interface already supports sending down
configurations through rtnetlink that can enable LFC when DCB is enabled,
so the driver should take advantage of this.

82598 does not support using LFC when DCB is enabled, so explicitly disable
it when we're in DCB mode.  This means we always run in PFC mode when DCB
is enabled.

PJ Waskiewicz bb3daa4a59 ixgbe: Allow Priority Flow Control settings to survive a device reset
When changing DCB parameters, ixgbe needs to have the MAC reset.  The way
the flow control code is setup today, PFC will be disabled on a reset.
This patch adds a new flow control type for PFC, and then has the netlink
layer take care of toggling which type of flow control to enable.

Peter P Waskiewicz Jr 0ecc061d19 ixgbe: Update flow control state machine in link setup
The flow control handling is overly complicated and difficult to maintain.
This patch cleans up the flow control handling and makes it much more
explicit.  It also adds 1G flow control autonegotiation, for 1G copper
links, 1G KX links, and 1G fiber links.

Alexander Duyck 2f90b8657e ixgbe: this patch adds support for DCB to the kernel and ixgbe driver
This adds support for Data Center Bridging (DCB) features in the ixgbe
driver and adds an rtnetlink interface for configuring DCB to the
kernel.  The DCB feature support included are Priority Grouping (PG) -
which allows bandwidth guarantees to be allocated to groups to traffic
based on the 802.1q priority, and Priority Based Flow Control (PFC) -
which introduces a new MAC control PAUSE frame which works at
granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the link (IEEE 802.3x).
