Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Switchtec MRPC DMA mode support

Hi, Everyone,

This patch series adds support for the Switchtec MRPC DMA mode.

Switchtec switches supports 2 MRPC interaction modes: MRPC normal mode and
MRPC DMA mode, a new feature in the latest firmware versions. MRPC normal
mode requires the host to read the MRPC command status and output data.
In MRPC DMA mode the command status and output data are pushed directly to
host memory and issues an interrupt upon completion. The advantage of MRPC
DMA mode is avoiding potential high latency response from the Memory Read
TLP.

Additionally, we've made the following changes:

* Improve the efficiency of filling MRPC Input buffer by enabling write
combining on MRPC region of BAR
* Software workaround for delay responded Memory READ TLPs that access
the BAR
* And several bug fixes

Regards,
Wesley

From: Boris Glimcher <[email protected]>

Switchtec hardware supports 64-bit DMA, set the correct DMA mask.
This allows the CMA to allocate larger buffers for memory windows.

For nr_idxs is larger than 1 switchtec_ioctl_event_ctl event flags will be
used by each event indexes. In current implementation the event flags are
overwritten by first call of the function event_ctl().

Preserve the event flag value with a temporary variable.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] switchtec: Improve MRPC efficiency by leveraging write combining

From: Kelvin Cao <[email protected]>

MRPC Input buffer is mostly memory without any side effects, thus we can
improve the access time by enabling write combining on only this region of
the BAR.

In a few places, we still need to flush the WC buffer. To do this, we
simply read from the Outbound Doorbell register seeing reads to this
register are processed by low latency hardware.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] switchtec: MRPC DMA mode implementation

MRPC normal mode requires the host to read the MRPC command status and
output data from BAR. This results in high latency responses from the
Memory Read TLP and potential Completion Timeout (CTO).

MRPC DMA mode implementation includes:
Macro definitions for registers and data structures corresponding to
MRPC DMA mode.

Add module parameter use_dma_mrpc to select between MRPC DMA mode and
MRPC normal mode.

Add MRPC mode functionality to:
* Retrieve MRPC DMA mode version
* Allocate DMA buffer, ISR registration, and enable DMA function during
initialization
* Check MRPC execution status and collect execution results from DMA buffer
* Release DMA buffer and disable DMA function when unloading module

MRPC DMA mode is a new feature of firmware and the driver will fall back
to MRPC normal mode if there is no support in the legacy firmware.

Include <linux/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h> so that readq/writeq is replaced
by two readl/writel on systems that do not support it.

Subject: [PATCH 1/5] switchtec: Remove immediate status check after submit a MRPC command

From: Kelvin Cao <[email protected]>

After submitting a Firmware Download MRPC command, Switchtec firmware will
delay Management EP BAR MemRd TLP responses by more than 10ms. This is a
firmware limitation. Delayed MemRd completions are problem for systems with
a low Completion Timeout (CTO).

The current driver checks the MRPC status immediately after submitting an
MRPC command, which results in the MemRd TLP that's affected by the above
limitation.

Remove the immediate status check and rely on the check after receiving an
interrupt or timing out.

This is only a software workaround to the READ issue and a proper fix of
this should be done in firmware.

event_ctl() overwrites several other things, in addition to ctl.flags:

ctl.data[]
ctl.occurred
ctl.count

Is that what you intend? It looks like only the values from the *last*
call of event_ctl() will be copied back to the user buffer.

What's the purpose of the module parameter? Can't you automatically
figure out whether the firmware supports DMA mode?

Module parameters make life difficult for users and lead to code
that's rarely used and poorly tested, so I think we should avoid them
whenever we can.

If you *can't* automatically figure out when to use DMA, please make
it clear in the changelog that the "use_dma_mrpc" parameter is
required with legacy firmware. And in that case, it seems like it
should be named "disable_dma" or similar, since it defaults to being
enabled.

Yeah, it's just SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_EVENT_IDX_ALL is perhaps a strange abuse
of the interface. The intention being that if you are querying
information about an event you'd use it's specific index. If you are
trying to set flags you can set them for all event of a specific type at
once using IDX_ALL.

Looking at it now it looks pretty ugly (and I'm not sure what I was
thinking when I wrote it). But it's what we have and this patch fixes a
bug where we aren't actually enabling/disabling all events when that's
what the user is asking for.

The code should already automatically determine whether the firmware
supports DMA or not. This parameter is just to aid debugging/testing so
we can run the module without DMA even if the firmware indicates it has
support.

It's not that critical so I'm sure we can remove it at this point if you
don't think that's a good enough justification.

This is ... harder to decode than necessary. It's obvious that the
intent is to return if the adapter firmware doesn't support DMA, but I
lost interest before I could verify that it works as intended.

You and Kurt are the maintainers of this, so it's up to you. I
personally probably would not add a parameter that's only for
debugging, but at the end of the day I only want to double-check
that this is all as you intend.

I reworked the changelog as follows.


commit a5fa833d8008b9f8e211e2fbc7bc1f45f6457133
Author: Wesley Sheng <[email protected]>
Date: Mon Dec 10 17:12:24 2018 +0800

switchtec: Add MRPC DMA mode support

MRPC normal mode requires the host to read the MRPC command status and
output data from BAR. This results in high latency responses from the
Memory Read TLP and potential Completion Timeout (CTO).

Add support for MRPC DMA mode, including related macro definitions and data
structures and code to:

* Retrieve MRPC DMA mode version from adapter firmware
* Allocate DMA buffer, register ISR, and enable DMA during init
* Check MRPC execution status and collect execution results from DMA buffer
* Release DMA buffer and disable DMA function when unloading module

MRPC DMA mode is a new feature of firmware, and the driver will fall back
to MRPC normal mode if there is no support in the legacy firmware.

Add a module parameter, "use_dma_mrpc", to select between MRPC DMA mode and
MRPC normal mode. Since the driver automatically detects DMA support in
the firmware, this parameter is just for debugging and testing.

Include <linux/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h> so that readq/writeq is replaced by
two readl/writel on systems that do not support it.

I applied all these on pci/switchtec for v4.21, thanks!

If you want to change anything, let me know. I'm happy to replace or
update patches.

Oh, ick, yes. I must have missed that in my review.

@Wesley, that would definitely be something worth cleaning up. That
ternary operator doesn't make any sense.

Thanks, Bjorn, for the review and picking up the series.
