- Driver support for hardware NAT.
- Driver support for swapmac action.
- Validate a request to create a hashfilter against the filter mask.
- Add a hashfilter config file for T5.

These filters reside in the card's memory instead of its TCAM and can be
configured via a new "hashfilter" subcommand in cxgbetool. Hash and
normal TCAM filters can be used together. The hardware does an
exact-match of packet fields for hash filters, unlike the masked match
performed for TCAM filters. Any T5/T6 card with memory can support at
least half a million hash filters. The sample config file with the
driver configures 512K of these, it is possible to double this to 1
million+ in some cases.
The chip does an exact-match of fields of incoming datagrams with hash
filters and performs the action configured for the filter if it matches.
The fields to match are specified in a "filter mask" in the firmware
config file. The filter mask always includes the 5-tuple (sip, dip,
sport, dport, ipproto). It can, optionally, also include any subset of
the filter mode (see filterMode and filterMask in the firmware config
file).
For example:
filterMode = fragmentation, mpshittype, protocol, vlan, port, fcoe
filterMask = protocol, port, vlan
Exact values of the 5-tuple, the physical port, and VLAN tag would have
to be provided while setting up a hash filter with the chip
configuration above.
Hash filters support all actions supported by TCAM filters. A packet
that hits a hash filter can be dropped, let through (with optional
steering to a specific queue or RSS region), switched out of another
port (with optional L2 rewrite of DMAC, SMAC, VLAN tag), or get NAT'ed.
(Support for some of these will show up in the driver in a follow-up
commit very shortly).

The TOE engine in Chelsio T6 adapters supports offloading of TLS
encryption and TCP segmentation for offloaded connections. Sockets
using TLS are required to use a set of custom socket options to upload
RX and TX keys to the NIC and to enable RX processing. Currently
these socket options are implemented as TCP options in the vendor
specific range. A patched OpenSSL library will be made available in a
port / package for use with the TLS TOE support.
TOE sockets can either offload both transmit and reception of TLS
records or just transmit. TLS offload (both RX and TX) is enabled by
setting the dev.t6nex.<x>.tls sysctl to 1 and requires TOE to be
enabled on the relevant interface. Transmit offload can be used on
any "normal" or TLS TOE socket by using the custom socket option to
program a transmit key. This permits most TOE sockets to
transparently offload TLS when applications use a patched SSL library
(e.g. using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to request use of a patched OpenSSL
library). Receive offload can only be used with TOE sockets using the
TLS mode. The dev.t6nex.0.toe.tls_rx_ports sysctl can be set to a
list of TCP port numbers. Any connection with either a local or
remote port number in that list will be created as a TLS socket rather
than a plain TOE socket. Note that although this sysctl accepts an
arbitrary list of port numbers, the sysctl(8) tool is only able to set
sysctl nodes to a single value. A TLS socket will hang without
receiving data if used by an application that is not using a patched
SSL library. Thus, the tls_rx_ports node should be used with care.
For a server mostly concerned with offloading TLS transmit, this node
is not needed as plain TOE sockets will fall back to software crypto
when using an unpatched SSL library.
New per-interface statistics nodes are added giving counts of TLS
packets and payload bytes (payload bytes do not include TLS headers or
authentication tags/MACs) offloaded via the TOE engine, e.g.:
dev.cc.0.stats.rx_tls_octets: 149
dev.cc.0.stats.rx_tls_records: 13
dev.cc.0.stats.tx_tls_octets: 26501823
dev.cc.0.stats.tx_tls_records: 1620
TLS transmit work requests are constructed by a new variant of
t4_push_frames() called t4_push_tls_records() in tom/t4_tls.c.
TLS transmit work requests require a buffer containing IVs. If the
IVs are too large to fit into the work request, a separate buffer is
allocated when constructing a work request. This buffer is associated
with the transmit descriptor and freed when the descriptor is ACKed by
the adapter.
Received TLS frames use two new CPL messages. The first message is a
CPL_TLS_DATA containing the decryped payload of a single TLS record.
The handler places the mbuf containing the received payload on an
mbufq in the TOE pcb. The second message is a CPL_RX_TLS_CMP message
which includes a copy of the TLS header and indicates if there were
any errors. The handler for this message places the TLS header into
the socket buffer followed by the saved mbuf with the payload data.
Both of these handlers are contained in tom/t4_tls.c.
A few routines were exposed from t4_cpl_io.c for use by t4_tls.c
including send_rx_credits(), a new send_rx_modulate(), and
t4_close_conn().
TLS keys for both transmit and receive are stored in onboard memory
in the NIC in the "TLS keys" memory region.
In some cases a TLS socket can hang with pending data available in the
NIC that is not delivered to the host. As a workaround, TLS sockets
are more aggressive about sending CPL_RX_DATA_ACK messages anytime that
any data is read from a TLS socket. In addition, a fallback timer will
periodically send CPL_RX_DATA_ACK messages to the NIC for connections
that are still in the handshake phase. Once the connection has
finished the handshake and programmed RX keys via the socket option,
the timer is stopped.
A new function select_ulp_mode() is used to determine what sub-mode a
given TOE socket should use (plain TOE, DDP, or TLS). The existing
set_tcpddp_ulp_mode() function has been renamed to set_ulp_mode() and
handles initialization of TLS-specific state when necessary in
addition to DDP-specific state.
Since TLS sockets do not receive individual TCP segments but always
receive full TLS records, they can receive more data than is available
in the current window (e.g. if a 16k TLS record is received but the
socket buffer is itself 16k). To cope with this, just drop the window
to 0 when this happens, but track the overage and "eat" the overage as
it is read from the socket buffer not opening the window (or adding
rx_credits) for the overage bytes.

Changes since 1.16.26.0 for all three firmwares are listed below. This
list was obtained from the Release Notes of the Chelsio Unified Wire
v3.5.05 release for Linux.
T6 Firmware
++++++++++++
================================================================================
Version : 1.16.63.0
Date : 09/29/2017
================================================================================
Fixes
-----
BASE:
- Fixed a fw crash when configured traffic rate limit is less than 10kbps.
- Fixed traffic rate limiting for smaller traffic rate value.
ETH:
- Fixed 40G link failure when interface is toggled.
- Fixed adapter crash when interface is toggled during traffic.
- Fixed 25G link failure when PEER only supports consortium mode autoneg
for 25G.
- Fixed 100G optics link failure when cable is plugged in after bringing up
the interface.
- Enable RS FEC as default if speed is 100G.

================================================================================
Version : 1.16.59.0
Date : 09/05/2017
================================================================================
FIXES
-----
BASE:
- Fixed fw crash caused by MC parity error in SO adapters.
- Generate Timer0Int interrupt if fw crashes due to unaligned access error. Host
driver must look into PCIE_FW register to see if any fw fatal error has
encountered. If PCIE_FW doesn't indicate any error then driver must ignore this
interrupt.
- Fixed receive buffer threshold settings which was resulting in error frames on
receive side.
ETH:
- Fixed an issue in connection traffic shaping when
FLOWC_WR->FW_FLOWC_MNEM_SCHEDCLASS is not received in first WR on the connection.
- Fixed link failure when speed is changed from 10G-1G-10G due to incorrect flag
check.
- Fixed improper LED behaviour for blink test and when traffic is running.
- Removed storage of previous fec settings from fw. Driver needs to pass the user
settings whenever a new module is plugged in as fw resets these when a module is
unplugged.
OFLD
- OVS offload: TP cache is flushed periodically to get the accuate filters stats
(hit count).

the TOE for LAN operation. It is possible to set this to other values
(cluster for networks with little loss and really tight RTTs, and wan
for relatively large RTTs and/or lossy networks) depending on the
environment in which the TOE is being used.
None of this affects plain NIC operation in any way.

resources are partitioned.
- Reduce the number of virtual interfaces reserved for PF4. This leaves
spare room in the source MAC table and allows the driver to setup
filters that rewrite the source MAC address.
- Reduce the number of filters and use the freed up space for the CLIP
(Compressed Local IPv6 addresses) table. This is a prerequisite for
IPv6 TOE support which will follow separately in a series of commits.
