<content type='text'>
Add support for receiving multicast/unicast traffic with
the don't trap rule.

Sniffing these packets requires a flow steering rule of type NORMAL
at priority 0 with flag IB_FLOW_ATTR_FLAGS_DONT_TRAP set.
Choosing between multicast or unicast is done via ethernet L2 dest_mac
mask and value:
- If mask is all zeros - unicast and multicast are set.
- If mask non zero - only mask with multicast bit 1 and rest 0 is
                     supported, the mac value will choose if it is
                     multicast or unicast rule.

If the mask multicast bit is on and some other bits are on too, it means
a request for specific multicast or unicast, this is not supported,
either receive all multicast or all unicast.

Only when limitations are met registered QP will receive requested type
but other QPs can receive same traffic if registered for it.
Otherwise, if limitations are not met, an error will be returned.

Limitations:
- Rule must be with priority 0.
- A0 mode is not supported.
- Sniffer QP cannot appear in any other flow steering rule.

<title>net/mlx4_core: Set UAR page size to 4KB regardless of system page size</title>

<id>85743f1eb34548ba4b056d2f184a3d107a3b8917</id>
<content type='text'>
problem description:

The current code sets UAR page size equal to system page size.
The ConnectX-3 and ConnectX-3 Pro HWs require minimum 128 UAR pages.
The mlx4 kernel drivers are not loaded if there is less than 128 UAR pages.

solution:

Always set UAR page to 4KB. This allows more UAR pages if the OS
has PAGE_SIZE larger than 4KB. For example, PowerPC kernel use 64KB
system page size, with 4MB uar region, there are 4MB/2/64KB = 32
uars (half for uar, half for blueflame). This does not meet minimum 128
UAR pages requirement. With 4KB UAR page, there are 4MB/2/4KB = 512 uars
which meet the minimum requirement.

Note that only codes in mlx4_core that deal with firmware know that uar
page size is 4KB. Codes that deal with usr page in cq and qp context
(mlx4_ib, mlx4_en and part of mlx4_core) still have the same assumption
that uar page size equals to system page size.

Note that with this implementation, on 64KB system page size kernel, there
are 16 uars per system page but only one uars is used. The other 15
uars are ignored because of the above assumption.

Regarding SR-IOV, mlx4_core in hypervisor will set the uar page size
to 4KB and mlx4_core code in virtual OS will obtain the uar page size from
firmware.

Regarding backward compatibility in SR-IOV, if hypervisor has this new code,
the virtual OS must be updated. If hypervisor has old code, and the virtual
OS has this new code, the new code will be backward compatible with the
old code. If the uar size is big enough, this new code in VF continues to
work with 64 KB uar page size (on PowerPc kernel). If the uar size does not
meet 128 uars requirement, this new code not loaded in VF and print the same
error message as the old code in Hypervisor.

mlx4 devices (ConnectX-2, ConnectX-3) has a limitation
where rdma read work queue entries cannot exceed 512 bytes.
A rdma_read wqe needs to fit in 512 bytes:
- wqe control segment (16 bytes)
- rdma segment (16 bytes)
- scatter elements (16 bytes each)

So max_sge_rd should be: (512 - 16 - 16) / 16 = 30.

<title>net/mlx4_core: Replace VF zero mac with random mac in mlx4_core</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=2b3ddf27f48c8061f0676c5a8796008099945280'/>
<id>2b3ddf27f48c8061f0676c5a8796008099945280</id>
<content type='text'>
By design, when no default MAC addresses are set in the Hypervisor for VFs,
the VFs are passed zero-macs. When such a MAC is received by the VF, it
generates a random MAC address and registers that MAC address
with the Hypervisor.

This random mac generation is currently done in the mlx4_en module.
There is a problem, though, if the mlx4_ib module is loaded by a VF before
the mlx4_en module. In this case, for RoCE, mlx4_ib will see the un-replaced
zero-mac and register that zero-mac as part of QP1 initialization.

Having a zero-mac in the port's MAC table creates problems for a
Baseboard Management Console. The BMC occasionally sends packets with a
zero-mac destination MAC. If there is a zero-mac present in the port's
MAC table, the FW will send such BMC packets to the host driver rather than
to the wire, and BMC will stop working.

To address this problem, we move the replacement of zero-mac addresses
with random-mac addresses to procedure mlx4_slave_cap(), which is part of the
driver startup for VFs, and is before activation of mlx4_ib and mlx4_en.
As a result, zero-mac addresses will never be registered in the port MAC table
by the driver.

In addition, when mlx4_en does initialize the net device, it needs to set
the NET_ADDR_RANDOM flag in the netdev structure if the address was
randomly generated. This is done so that udev on the VM does not create
a new device name after each VF probe (VM boot and such). To accomplish this,
we add a per-port flag in mlx4_dev which gets set whenever mlx4_core replaces
a zero-mac with a randomly-generated mac. This flag is examined when mlx4_en
initializes the net-device.

Fix was suggested by Matan Barak &lt;matanb@mellanox.com&gt;

the mlx4_en module. In this case, for RoCE, mlx4_ib will see the un-replaced
zero-mac and register that zero-mac as part of QP1 initialization.

Having a zero-mac in the port's MAC table creates problems for a
Baseboard Management Console. The BMC occasionally sends packets with a
zero-mac destination MAC. If there is a zero-mac present in the port's
MAC table, the FW will send such BMC packets to the host driver rather than
to the wire, and BMC will stop working.

To address this problem, we move the replacement of zero-mac addresses
with random-mac addresses to procedure mlx4_slave_cap(), which is part of the
driver startup for VFs, and is before activation of mlx4_ib and mlx4_en.
As a result, zero-mac addresses will never be registered in the port MAC table
by the driver.

In addition, when mlx4_en does initialize the net device, it needs to set
the NET_ADDR_RANDOM flag in the netdev structure if the address was
randomly generated. This is done so that udev on the VM does not create
a new device name after each VF probe (VM boot and such). To accomplish this,
we add a per-port flag in mlx4_dev which gets set whenever mlx4_core replaces
a zero-mac with a randomly-generated mac. This flag is examined when mlx4_en
initializes the net-device.

Fix was suggested by Matan Barak &lt;matanb@mellanox.com&gt;

Pull inifiniband/rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "This is a fairly sizeable set of changes.  I've put them through a
  decent amount of testing prior to sending the pull request due to
  that.

  There are still a few fixups that I know are coming, but I wanted to
  go ahead and get the big, sizable chunk into your hands sooner rather
  than waiting for those last few fixups.

  Of note is the fact that this creates what is intended to be a
  temporary area in the drivers/staging tree specifically for some
  cleanups and additions that are coming for the RDMA stack.  We
  deprecated two drivers (ipath and amso1100) and are waiting to hear
  back if we can deprecate another one (ehca).  We also put Intel's new
  hfi1 driver into this area because it needs to be refactored and a
  transfer library created out of the factored out code, and then it and
  the qib driver and the soft-roce driver should all be modified to use
  that library.

  I expect drivers/staging/rdma to be around for three or four kernel
  releases and then to go away as all of the work is completed and final
  deletions of deprecated drivers are done.

  Summary of changes for 4.3:

   - Create drivers/staging/rdma
   - Move amso1100 driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
   - Move ipath driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
   - Add hfi1 driver to staging/rdma and set TODO for move to regular
     tree
   - Initial support for namespaces to be used on RDMA devices
   - Add RoCE GID table handling to the RDMA core caching code
   - Infrastructure to support handling of devices with differing read
     and write scatter gather capabilities
   - Various iSER updates
   - Kill off unsafe usage of global mr registrations
   - Update SRP driver
   - Misc  mlx4 driver updates
   - Support for the mr_alloc verb
   - Support for a netlink interface between kernel and user space cache
     daemon to speed path record queries and route resolution
   - Ininitial support for safe hot removal of verbs devices"
