r266571:
cxgbe(4): Remove stray if_up from the code that creates the tracing ifnet.
r266757:
cxgbe(4): netmap support for Terminator 5 (T5) based 10G/40G cards.
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.

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.

link-level packets like LACP that is unlikely to overflow or suffer

This is a T4 and T5 chip feature which lets the chip deliver multiple
Ethernet frames in a single buffer. This is more efficient within the
chip, in the driver, and reduces wastage of space in rx buffers.
- Always allocate rx buffers from the jumbop zone, no matter what the
MTU is. Do not use the normal cluster refcounting mechanism.
- Reserve space for an mbuf and a refcount in the cluster itself and let
the chip DMA multiple frames in the rest.
- Use the embedded mbuf for the first frame and allocate mbufs on the
fly for any additional frames delivered in the cluster. Each of these
mbufs has a reference on the underlying cluster.
- tom_uninit had to be reworked not to hold the adapter lock (a mutex)
around t4_deactivate_uld, which acquires the uld_list_lock.
- the ifc_match for the interface cloner that creates the tracer ifnet
had to be reworked as the kernel calls ifc_match with the global
if_cloners_mtx held.
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 0 tx0 (watch what cxl0 is transmitting)
# 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.
