<title>octeontx2-vf: clear stale mailbox IRQ state before request_irq()</title>

<content type='text'>
otx2vf_register_mbox_intr() currently installs the VF mailbox IRQ
handler before clearing stale mailbox interrupt state. The code then says
that local interrupt bits should be cleared first to avoid spurious
interrupts, but that clear still happens only after request_irq() has
already made the handler reachable.

A running system can reach this during VF mailbox interrupt registration
while stale or latched RVU_VF_INT state is still present. If delivery
happens in the request_irq()-to-clear window,
otx2vf_vfaf_mbox_intr_handler() can run before local quiesce and touch
the same vf-&gt;mbox and vf-&gt;mbox_wq carrier that probe and teardown later
reuse or destroy.

Move the stale mailbox interrupt clear ahead of request_irq(), but keep
interrupt enabling after the handler is installed. This closes the
pre-clear early-IRQ window without creating a new enable-before-handler
window.

<content type='text'>
Default CN20K NPC rule allocation now keys off the active MCAM keyword
width: use X4 with a bank-masked reference index when the silicon uses
X4 keys, and X2 with the raw index otherwise (replacing the previous
always-X2 / eidx + 1 behaviour).

In the AF flow-install path, flows that need more than 256 key bits
query the NPC profile; if the platform is fixed to X2 entries, fail
with -EOPNOTSUPP instead of requesting X4. Otherwise select X4 for the
MCAM alloc.

On the PF, cache and pass the profile kw_type from npc_get_pfl_info
through otx2_mcam_pfl_info_get(), and use it when allocating MCAM
entries for RSS/defaults and when installing ethtool flows on CN20K,
including masking the reference index for X4 slot layout.

<title>octeontx2-af: npc: Support for custom KPU profile from filesystem</title>

<id>c0c9ac88156aea08946eac2060d76890cf75cb3d</id>
<content type='text'>
Flashing updated firmware on deployed devices is cumbersome. Provide a
mechanism to load a custom KPU (Key Parse Unit) profile directly from
the filesystem at module load time.

When the rvu_af module is loaded with the kpu_profile parameter, the
specified profile is read from /lib/firmware/kpu and programmed into
the KPU registers. Add npc_kpu_profile_cam2 for the extended cam format
used by filesystem-loaded profiles and support ptype/ptype_mask in
npc_config_kpucam when profile-&gt;from_fs is set.

Usage:
  1. Copy the KPU profile file to /lib/firmware/kpu.
  2. Build OCTEONTX2_AF as a module.
  3. Load: insmod rvu_af.ko kpu_profile=&lt;profile_name&gt;

Add NIX_LF_DONT_FREE_DFT_IDXS so the PF can send NIX LF free during hw
reinit or teardown without the AF freeing CN20K default NPC rule indexes
while the driver still owns that state (otx2_init_hw_resources and
otx2_free_hw_resources).

On CN20K, allocate default NPC rules from NIX LF alloc before
nix_interface_init, roll back with npc_cn20k_dft_rules_free on failure,
and free from NIX LF free when the new flag is not set. Tighten
rvu_mbox_handler_nix_lf_alloc error handling: use a single rc, propagate
qmem_alloc and other errors, and set -ENOMEM only when kcalloc fails
(remove the blanket -ENOMEM at the free_mem path).

Improve MCAM visibility and field debugging for CN20K NPC.

- Extend "mcam_layout" to show enabled (+) or disabled state per entry
  so status can be verified without parsing the full "mcam_entry" dump.
- Add "dstats" debugfs entry: for enabled MCAM indices, print hit deltas
  since the prior read by comparing hardware counters to a per-entry
  software baseline and advancing that baseline after each read (hardware
  counters are not cleared).
- Add "mismatch" debugfs entry: lists MCAM entries that are enabled
  but not explicitly allocated, helping diagnose allocation/field issues.

  software baseline and advancing that baseline after each read (hardware
  counters are not cleared).
- Add "mismatch" debugfs entry: lists MCAM entries that are enabled
  but not explicitly allocated, helping diagnose allocation/field issues.

On Octeon series SoCs, the AF is an integrated device within the SoC, and
hardware resources such as NPC, NIX and related blocks are global and
coordinated by the AF driver.  Physical and virtual functions request those
resources via AF mailbox messages, so two AF driver instances cannot both
own that global state; firmware exposes only one AF PCI function at boot
and any further octeontx2-af PCI probe returns -EBUSY so software matches
the single-AF model.
