mlx5-updates-2022-05-09
1) Gavin Li, adds exit route from waiting for FW init on device boot and
increases FW init timeout on health recovery flow
2) Support 4 ports HCAs LAG mode
Mark Bloch Says:
================
This series adds to mlx5 drivers support for 4 ports HCAs.
Starting with ConnectX-7 HCAs with 4 ports are possible.
As most driver parts aren't affected by such configuration most driver
code is unchanged.
Specially the only affected areas are:
- Lag
- Devcom
- Merged E-Switch
- Single FDB E-Switch
Lag was chosen to be converted first. Creating hardware LAG when all 4
ports are added to the same bond device.
Devom, merge E-Switch and single FDB E-Switch, are marked as supporting
only 2 ports HCAs and future patches will add support for 4 ports HCAs.
In order to activate the hardware lag a user can execute the:
ip link add bond0 type bond
ip link set bond0 type bond miimon 100 mode 2
ip link set eth2 master bond0
ip link set eth3 master bond0
ip link set eth4 master bond0
ip link set eth5 master bond0
Where eth2, eth3, eth4 and eth5 are the PFs of the same HCA.
================
net/mlx5: Lag, add debugfs to query hardware lag state
Lag state has become very complicated with many modes, flags, types and
port selections methods and future work will add additional features.
Add a debugfs to query the current lag state. A new directory named "lag"
will be created under the mlx5 debugfs directory. As the driver has
debugfs per pci function the location will be: <debugfs>/mlx5/<BDF>/lag
For example:
/sys/kernel/debug/mlx5/0000:08:00.0/lag
The following files are exposed:
- state: Returns "active" or "disabled". If "active" it means hardware
lag is active.
- members: Returns the BDFs of all the members of lag object.
- type: Returns the type of the lag currently configured. Valid only
if hardware lag is active.
* "roce" - Members are bare metal PFs.
* "switchdev" - Members are in switchdev mode.
* "multipath" - ECMP offloads.
- port_sel_mode: Returns the egress port selection method, valid
only if hardware lag is active.
* "queue_affinity" - Egress port is selected by
the QP/SQ affinity.
* "hash" - Egress port is selected by hash done on
each packet. Controlled by: xmit_hash_policy of the
bond device.
- flags: Returns flags that are specific per lag @type. Valid only if
hardware lag is active.
* "shared_fdb" - "on" or "off", if "on" single FDB is used.
- mapping: Returns the mapping which is used to select egress port.
Valid only if hardware lag is active.
If @port_sel_mode is "hash" returns the active egress ports.
The hash result will select only active ports.
if @port_sel_mode is "queue_affinity" returns the mapping
between the configured port affinity of the QP/SQ and actual
egress port. For example:
* 1:1 - Mapping means if the configured affinity is port 1
traffic will egress via port 1.
* 1:2 - Mapping means if the configured affinity is port 1
traffic will egress via port 2. This can happen
if port 1 is down or in active/backup mode and port 1
is backup.
