1300 series Cisco adapter firmware version 2.0(13) for UCS
C-series servers and 3.1(2) for blade servers supports more
filtering capabilities. The feature can be enabled via Cisco
CIMC or USCM with the 'advanced filters' radio button. When
enabled, the these additional flow director modes are available:
RTE_ETH_FLOW_NONFRAG_IPV4_OTHER
RTE_ETH_FLOW_NONFRAG_IPV4_SCTP
RTE_ETH_FLOW_NONFRAG_IPV6_UDP
RTE_ETH_FLOW_NONFRAG_IPV6_TCP
RTE_ETH_FLOW_NONFRAG_IPV6_SCTP
RTE_ETH_FLOW_NONFRAG_IPV6_OTHER
Changes:
- Detect and set an 'advanced filters' flag dependent on the adapter
capability.
- Implement RTE_ETH_FILTER_INFO filter op to return the flow types
available dependent on whether advanced filters are enabled.
- Use a function pointer to select how filters are added to the adapter:
copy_fltr_v1() for older firmware/adapters or copy_fltr_v2() for
adapters which support advanced filters.
- Apply fdir global masks to filters when in advanced filter mode.
- Update documentation.

The enic PMD was using the same variables in the enic structure to
track two different things. Initially rq_count, wq_count, cq_count,
and intr_count were set to the values obtained from the VIC adapters
as the maximum resources allocated on the VIC, then in
enic_set_vnic_res(), they were set to the counts of resources actually
used, discarding the initial values. The checks in enic_set_vnic_res()
were technically incorrect if it is called more than once on a port,
which happens when using bonding, but were harmless in practice as the
checks couldn't fail on the second call.
The enic rx-scatter patch misunderstood the subtleties of
enic_set_vnic_res(), and naively added a multiply by two to the
rq_count check. This resulted in the rq_count check failing when
enic_set_vnic_res() was called a second time, ie when using bonding.
This patch adds new variables to the enic structure to track the
maximum resources the VIC is configured to provide so that the
information isn't later lost and calls to enic_set_vnic_res() do
the expected thing.

Pull in common VNIC code which enables querying for max egress
packet size with newer firmware via a device command. If the
field is non-zero, it is the max egress packet size. If it is
0, the default value (9022) can safely be assumed. The value
for 1300 series VICS using firmware versions >= 3.1.2 for blade
series and >= 2.0.13 for rack series servers is 9208.
Tx buffers can be emitted only if they are less than the max egress
packet size regardless of the MTU setting (the MTU is advisory).
The max egress packet size can used to determine the upper limit
of the MTU since the enic can also receive packets of size greater
than max egress packet size. A max_mtu variable is added with
a value of max egress packet size minus L2 header size.
The default MTU is set via the CIMC/UCSM management interface and
currently allows value up to 9000. If the value is changed, the
host must be reboot. To avoid the reboot and allow MTU values
up to the max capability of the NIC, MTU update capability will
be added with a max value capped by max_mtu.

For performance reasons, this patch uses 2 VIC RQs per RQ presented to
DPDK.
The VIC requires that each descriptor be marked as either a start of
packet (SOP) descriptor or a non-SOP descriptor. A one RQ solution
requires skipping descriptors when receiving small packets and results
in bad performance when receiving many small packets.
The 2 RQ solution makes use of the VIC feature that allows a receive
on primary queue to 'spill over' into another queue if the receive is
too large to fit in the buffer assigned to the descriptor on the
primary queue. This means that there is no skipping of descriptors
when receiving small packets and results in much better performance.
