The cxgbev/cxlv driver supports Virtual Function devices for Chelsio
T4 and T4 adapters. The VF devices share most of their code with the
existing PF4 driver (cxgbe/cxl) and as such the VF device driver
currently depends on the PF4 driver.
Similar to the cxgbe/cxl drivers, the VF driver includes a t4vf/t5vf
PCI device driver that attaches to the VF device. It then creates
child cxgbev/cxlv devices representing ports assigned to the VF.
By default, the PF driver assigns a single port to each VF.
t4vf_hw.c contains VF-specific routines from the shared code used to
fetch VF-specific parameters from the firmware.
t4_vf.c contains the VF-specific PCI device driver and includes its
own attach routine.
VF devices are required to use a different firmware request when
transmitting packets (which in turn requires a different CPL message
to encapsulate messages). This alternate firmware request does not
permit chaining multiple packets in a single message, so each packet
results in a firmware request. In addition, the different CPL message
requires more detailed information when enabling hardware checksums,
so parse_pkt() on VF devices must examine L2 and L3 headers for all
packets (not just TSO packets) for VF devices. Finally, L2 checksums
on non-UDP/non-TCP packets do not work reliably (the firmware trashes
the IPv4 fragment field), so IPv4 checksums for such packets are
calculated in software.
Most of the other changes in the non-VF-specific code are to expose
various variables and functions private to the PF driver so that they
can be used by the VF driver.
Note that a limited subset of cxgbetool functions are supported on VF
devices including register dumps, scheduler classes, and clearing of
statistics. In addition, TOE is not supported on VF devices, only for
the PF interfaces.

AIO write requests for a TOE socket on a Chelsio T4+ adapter can now
DMA directly from the user-supplied buffer. This is implemented by
wiring the pages backing the user-supplied buffer and queueing special
mbufs backed by raw VM pages to the socket buffer. The TOE code
recognizes these special mbufs and builds a sglist from the VM page
array associated with the mbuf when queueing a work request to the TOE.
Because these mbufs do not have an associated virtual address, m_data
is not valid. Thus, the AIO handler does not invoke sosend() directly
for these mbufs but instead inlines portions of sosend_generic() and
tcp_usr_send().
An aiotx_buffer structure is used to describe the user buffer (e.g.
it holds the array of VM pages and a reference to the AIO job). The
special mbufs reference this structure via m_ext. Note that a single
job might be split across multiple mbufs (e.g. if it is larger than
the socket buffer size). The 'ext_arg2' member of each mbuf gives an
offset relative to the backing aiotx_buffer. The AIO job associated
with an aiotx_buffer structure is completed when the last reference to
the structure is released.
Zero-copy aio_write()'s for connections associated with a given
adapter can be enabled/disabled at runtime via the

returning EAGAIN if they aren't available when the user tries to program
a filter. Do this after validating the filter so that the driver
doesn't bring up the queues if it doesn't have to.
Chelsio NICs are a bit unique compared to some other NICs in that they
expose different functionality on different physical functions. In
particular, PF4 is used to manage the NIC interfaces ('t4nex' and 't5nex').
However, PF4 is not able to create VF devices. Instead, VFs are only
supported by physical functions 0 through 3. This commit adds 't4iov'
and 't5iov' drivers that attach to PF0-3.
One extra wrinkle is that the iov devices cannot enable SR-IOV until the
firwmare has been initialized by the main PF4 driver. To handle this
case, a new t4_if kobj interface has been added to permit cross-calls
between the PF drivers. The PF4 driver notifies sibling drivers when it
is fully attached. It also requests sibling drivers to detach before it
detaches. Sibling drivers query the PF4 driver during their attach
routine to see if it is attached. If not, the sibling drivers defer
their attach actions until the PF4 driver informs them it is attached.
VF devices are associated with a single port on the NIC. VF devices
created from PF0 are associated with the first port on the NIC, VFs
from PF1 are associated with the second port, etc. VF devices can
only be created from a PF device that has an associated port. Thus,
on a 2-port card, VFs are only supported on PF0 and PF1.

vcxgbe/vcxl interfaces and retire the 'n' interfaces. The main
cxgbe/cxl interfaces and tunables related to them are not affected by
any of this and will continue to operate as usual.
The driver used to create an additional 'n' interface for every
cxgbe/cxl interface if "device netmap" was in the kernel. The 'n'
interface shared the wire with the main interface but was otherwise
autonomous (with its own MAC address, etc.). It did not have normal
tx/rx but had a specialized netmap-only data path. r291665 added
another set of virtual interfaces (the 'v' interfaces) to the driver.
These had normal tx/rx but no netmap support.
This revision consolidates the features of both the interfaces into the
'v' interface which now has a normal data path, TOE support, and native
netmap support. The 'v' interfaces need to be created explicitly with
the hw.cxgbe.num_vis tunable. This means "device netmap" will not
result in the automatic creation of any virtual interfaces.
The following tunables can be used to override the default number of
queues allocated for each 'v' interface. nofld* = 0 will disable TOE on
the virtual interface and nnm* = 0 to will disable native netmap
support.
# number of normal NIC queues
hw.cxgbe.ntxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nrxq_vi
# number of TOE queues
hw.cxgbe.nofldtxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nofldrxq_vi
# number of netmap queues
hw.cxgbe.nnmtxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nnmrxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nnm{t,r}xq{10,1}g tunables have been removed.
--- tl;dr version ---
The workflow for netmap on cxgbe starting with FreeBSD 11 is:
1) "device netmap" in the kernel config.
2) "hw.cxgbe.num_vis=2" in loader.conf. num_vis > 2 is ok too, you'll
end up with multiple autonomous netmap-capable interfaces for every
port.
3) "dmesg | grep vcxl | grep netmap" to verify that the interface has
netmap queues.
4) Use any of the 'v' interfaces for netmap. pkt-gen -i vcxl<n>... .
One major improvement is that the netmap interface has a normal data
path as expected.
5) Just ignore the cxl interfaces if you want to use netmap only. No
need to bring them up. The vcxl interfaces are completely independent
and everything should just work.

Chelsio's TCP offload engine supports direct DMA of received TCP payload
into wired user buffers. This feature is known as Direct-Data Placement.
However, to scale well the adapter needs to prepare buffers for DDP
before data arrives. aio_read() is more amenable to this requirement than
read() as applications often call read() only after data is available in
the socket buffer.
When DDP is enabled, TOE sockets use the recently added pru_aio_queue
protocol hook to claim aio_read(2) requests instead of letting them use
the default AIO socket logic. The DDP feature supports scheduling DMA
to two buffers at a time so that the second buffer is ready for use
after the first buffer is filled. The aio/DDP code optimizes the case
of an application ping-ponging between two buffers (similar to the
zero-copy bpf(4) code) by keeping the two most recently used AIO buffers
wired. If a buffer is reused, the aio/DDP code is able to reuse the
vm_page_t array as well as page pod mappings (a kind of MMU mapping the
Chelsio NIC uses to describe user buffers). The generation of the
vmspace of the calling process is used in conjunction with the user
buffer's address and length to determine if a user buffer matches a
previously used buffer. If an application queues a buffer for AIO that
does not match a previously used buffer then the least recently used
buffer is unwired before the new buffer is wired. This ensures that no
more than two user buffers per socket are ever wired.
Note that this feature is best suited to applications sending a steady
stream of data vs short bursts of traffic.

Each virtual interface has its own MAC address, queues, and statistics.
The dedicated netmap interfaces (ncxgbeX / ncxlX) were already implemented
as additional VIs on each port. This change allows additional non-netmap
interfaces to be configured on each port. Additional virtual interfaces
use the naming scheme vcxgbeX or vcxlX.
Additional VIs are enabled by setting the hw.cxgbe.num_vis tunable to a
value greater than 1 before loading the cxgbe(4) or cxl(4) driver.
NB: The first VI on each port is the "main" interface (cxgbeX or cxlX).
T4/T5 NICs provide a limited number of MAC addresses for each physical port.
As a result, a maximum of six VIs can be configured on each port (including
the "main" interface and the netmap interface when netmap is enabled).
One user-visible result is that when netmap is enabled, packets received
or transmitted via the netmap interface are no longer counted in the stats
for the "main" interface, but are not accounted to the netmap interface.
The netmap interfaces now also have a new-bus device and export various
information sysctl nodes via dev.n(cxgbe|cxl).X.
The cxgbetool 'clearstats' command clears the stats for all VIs on the
specified port along with the port's stats. There is currently no way to
clear the stats of an individual VI.

Drivers (ULDs) and the base if_cxgbe driver.

This was done pretty arbitrarily before this change -- via TOM_INIT_DONE
in adapter->flags for TOM, and the (1 << MAX_NPORTS) bit in
adapter->offload_map for iWARP.
iWARP and hw-accelerated iSCSI rely on the TOE (supported by the TOM
ULD). The rules are:
a) If the iWARP and/or iSCSI ULDs are available when TOE is enabled then
iWARP and/or iSCSI are enabled too.
b) When the iWARP and iSCSI modules are loaded they go looking for
adapters with TOE enabled and enable themselves on that adapter.
c) You cannot deactivate or unload the TOM module from underneath iWARP
or iSCSI. Any such attempt will fail with EBUSY.

a) Front load as much work as possible in if_transmit, before any driver
lock or software queue has to get involved.
b) Replace buf_ring with a brand new mp_ring (multiproducer ring). This
is specifically for the tx multiqueue model where one of the if_transmit
producer threads becomes the consumer and other producers carry on as
usual. mp_ring is implemented as standalone code and it should be
possible to use it in any driver with tx multiqueue. It also has:
- the ability to enqueue/dequeue multiple items. This might become
significant if packet batching is ever implemented.
- an abdication mechanism to allow a thread to give up writing tx
descriptors and have another if_transmit thread take over. A thread
that's writing tx descriptors can end up doing so for an unbounded
time period if a) there are other if_transmit threads continuously
feeding the sofware queue, and b) the chip keeps up with whatever the
thread is throwing at it.
- accurate statistics about interesting events even when the stats come
at the expense of additional branches/conditional code.
The NIC txq lock is uncontested on the fast path at this point. I've
left it there for synchronization with the control events (interface
up/down, modload/unload).
c) Add support for "type 1" coalescing work request in the normal NIC tx
path. This work request is optimized for frames with a single item in
the DMA gather list. These are very common when forwarding packets.
Note that netmap tx in cxgbe already uses these "type 1" work requests.
d) Do not request automatic cidx updates every 32 descriptors. Instead,
request updates via bits in individual work requests (still every 32
descriptors approximately). Also, request an automatic final update
when the queue idles after activity. This means NIC tx reclaim is still
performed lazily but it will catch up quickly as soon as the queue
idles. This seems to be the best middle ground and I'll probably do
something similar for netmap tx as well.
e) Implement a faster tx path for WRQs (used by TOE tx and control
queues, _not_ by the normal NIC tx). Allow work requests to be written
directly to the hardware descriptor ring if room is available. I will
convert t4_tom and iw_cxgbe modules to this faster style gradually.

This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.

link-state events within the driver, and to always rebuild the ifmedia
list on a module change event (instead of rebuilding it lazily).
Thanks to asomers@ for the problem report and detailed analysis to go

- Wrong integer type was specified.
- Wrong or missing "access" specifier. The "access" specifier
sometimes included the SYSCTL type, which it should not, except for
procedural SYSCTL nodes.
- Logical OR where binary OR was expected.
- Properly assert the "access" argument passed to all SYSCTL macros,
using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically
created SYSCTLs.
- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic
SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data
pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence
there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a
C-function.
- Rewrote some code which doesn't pass a constant "access" specifier
when creating dynamic SYSCTL nodes, which is now a requirement.
- Updated "EXAMPLES" section in SYSCTL manual page.

Netmap gets its own hardware-assisted virtual interface and won't take
over or disrupt the "normal" interface in any way. You can use both
simultaneously.
For kernels with DEV_NETMAP, cxgbe(4) carves out an ncxl<N> interface
(note the 'n' prefix) in the hardware to accompany each cxl<N>
interface. These two ifnet's per port share the same wire but really
are separate interfaces in the hardware and software. Each gets its own
L2 MAC addresses (unicast and multicast), MTU, checksum caps, etc. You
should run netmap on the 'n' interfaces only, that's what they are for.
With this, pkt-gen is able to transmit > 45Mpps out of a single 40G port
of a T580 card. 2 port tx is at ~56Mpps total (28M + 28M) as of now.
Single port receive is at 33Mpps but this is very much a work in
progress. I expect it to be closer to 40Mpps once done. In any case
the current effort can already saturate multiple 10G ports of a T5 card
at the smallest legal packet size. T4 gear is totally untested.

- More flexible cluster size selection, including the ability to fall
back to a safe cluster size (PAGE_SIZE from zone_jumbop by default) in
case an allocation of a larger size fails.
- A single get_fl_payload() function that assembles the payload into an
mbuf chain for any kind of freelist. This replaces two variants: one
for freelists with buffer packing enabled and another for those without.
- Buffer packing with any sized cluster. It was limited to 4K clusters
only before this change.
- Enable buffer packing for TOE rx queues as well.
- Statistics and tunables to go with all these changes. The driver's

all T4 and T5 based cards and is useful for analyzing TSO, LRO, TOE, and
for general purpose monitoring without tapping any cxgbe or cxl ifnet
directly.
Tracers on the T4/T5 chips provide access to Ethernet frames exactly as
they were received from or transmitted on the wire. On transmit, a
tracer will capture a frame after TSO segmentation, hw VLAN tag
insertion, hw L3 & L4 checksum insertion, etc. It will also capture
frames generated by the TCP offload engine (TOE traffic is normally
invisible to the kernel). On receive, a tracer will capture a frame
before hw VLAN extraction, runt filtering, other badness filtering,
before the steering/drop/L2-rewrite filters or the TOE have had a go at
it, and of course before sw LRO in the driver.
There are 4 tracers on a chip. A tracer can trace only in one direction
(tx or rx). For now cxgbetool will set up tracers to capture the first
128B of every transmitted or received frame on a given port. This is a
small subset of what the hardware can do. A pseudo ifnet with the same
name as the nexus driver (t4nex0 or t5nex0) will be created for tracing.
The data delivered to this ifnet is an additional copy made inside the
chip. Normal delivery to cxgbe<n> or cxl<n> will be made as usual.
/* watch cxl0, which is the first port hanging off t5nex0. */

# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 1 rx0 (watch what cxl0 is receiving)
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer list
# tcpdump -i t5nex0 <== all that cxl0 sees and puts on the wire
If you were doing TSO, a tcpdump on cxl0 may have shown you ~64K
"frames" with no L3/L4 checksum but this will show you the frames that
were actually transmitted.
