Rahul Lakkireddy 422d7823a9 net/cxgbe: add MAC match-all to track promiscuous traffic
Chelsio T6 ASIC doesn't track Rx promisc traffic dropped due to lack
of Rx buffers and hence the imissed counter doesn't increment. Add
support for RAW MAC filter to insert a wildcard matchall rule at
the end of MPS TCAM to make MPS track the promisc traffic. This
rule will only be added/removed when promisc mode is turned on/off
on the interface.

CXGBE Poll Mode Driver
======================
The CXGBE PMD (**librte_net_cxgbe**) provides poll mode driver support
for **Chelsio Terminator** 10/25/40/100 Gbps family of adapters. CXGBE PMD
has support for the latest Linux and FreeBSD operating systems.
CXGBEVF PMD provides poll mode driver support for SR-IOV Virtual functions
and has support for the latest Linux operating systems.
More information can be found at `Chelsio Communications Official Website
<http://www.chelsio.com>`_.
Features
--------
CXGBE and CXGBEVF PMD has support for:
- Multiple queues for TX and RX
- Receiver Side Steering (RSS)
Receiver Side Steering (RSS) on IPv4, IPv6, IPv4-TCP/UDP, IPv6-TCP/UDP.
For 4-tuple, enabling 'RSS on TCP' and 'RSS on TCP + UDP' is supported.
- VLAN filtering
- Checksum offload
- Promiscuous mode
- All multicast mode
- Port hardware statistics
- Jumbo frames
- Flow API - Support for both Wildcard (LE-TCAM) and Exact (HASH) match filters.
Limitations
-----------
The Chelsio Terminator series of devices provide two/four ports but
expose a single PCI bus address, thus, librte_net_cxgbe registers
itself as a PCI driver that allocates one Ethernet device per detected
port.
For this reason, one cannot allow/block a single port without
allowing/blocking the other ports on the same device.
.. _t5-nics:
Supported Chelsio T5 NICs
-------------------------
- 1G NICs: T502-BT
- 10G NICs: T520-BT, T520-CR, T520-LL-CR, T520-SO-CR, T540-CR
- 40G NICs: T580-CR, T580-LP-CR, T580-SO-CR
- Other T5 NICs: T522-CR
.. _t6-nics:
Supported Chelsio T6 NICs
-------------------------
- 25G NICs: T6425-CR, T6225-CR, T6225-LL-CR, T6225-SO-CR
- 100G NICs: T62100-CR, T62100-LP-CR, T62100-SO-CR
Supported SR-IOV Chelsio NICs
-----------------------------
SR-IOV virtual functions are supported on all the Chelsio NICs listed
in :ref:`t5-nics` and :ref:`t6-nics`.
Prerequisites
-------------
- Requires firmware version **1.25.6.0** and higher. Visit
`Chelsio Download Center <http://service.chelsio.com>`_ to get latest firmware
bundled with the latest Chelsio Unified Wire package.
For Linux, installing and loading the latest cxgb4 kernel driver from the
Chelsio Unified Wire package should get you the latest firmware. More
information can be obtained from the User Guide that is bundled with the
Chelsio Unified Wire package.
For FreeBSD, the latest firmware obtained from the Chelsio Unified Wire
package must be manually flashed via cxgbetool available in FreeBSD source
repository.
Instructions on how to manually flash the firmware are given in section
:ref:`linux-installation` for Linux and section :ref:`freebsd-installation`
for FreeBSD.
Runtime Options
---------------
The following ``devargs`` options can be enabled at runtime. They must
be passed as part of EAL arguments. For example,
.. code-block:: console
dpdk-testpmd -a 02:00.4,keep_ovlan=1 -- -i
Common Runtime Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ``keep_ovlan`` (default **0**)
Toggle behavior to keep/strip outer VLAN in Q-in-Q packets. If
enabled, the outer VLAN tag is preserved in Q-in-Q packets. Otherwise,
the outer VLAN tag is stripped in Q-in-Q packets.
- ``tx_mode_latency`` (default **0**)
When set to 1, Tx doesn't wait for max number of packets to get
coalesced and sends the packets immediately at the end of the
current Tx burst. When set to 0, Tx waits across multiple Tx bursts
until the max number of packets have been coalesced. In this case,
Tx only sends the coalesced packets to hardware once the max
coalesce limit has been reached.
CXGBE VF Only Runtime Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ``force_link_up`` (default **0**)
When set to 1, CXGBEVF PMD always forces link as up for all VFs on
underlying Chelsio NICs. This enables multiple VFs on the same NIC
to send traffic to each other even when the physical link is down.
CXGBE PF Only Runtime Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ``filtermode`` (default **0**)
Apart from the 4-tuple (IP src/dst addresses and TCP/UDP src/dst port
addresses), there are only 40-bits available to match other fields in
packet headers. So, ``filtermode`` devarg allows user to dynamically
select a 40-bit supported match field combination for LETCAM (wildcard)
filters.
Default value of **0** makes driver pick the combination configured in
the firmware configuration file on the adapter.
The supported flags and their corresponding values are shown in table below.
These flags can be OR'd to create 1 of the multiple supported combinations
for LETCAM filters.
================== ======
FLAG VALUE

Physical Port 0x1
PFVF 0x2
Destination MAC 0x4
Ethertype 0x8

For example, to enable matching ``ethertype`` field in Ethernet
header, and ``protocol`` field in IPv4 header, the ``filtermode``
combination must be given as:
.. code-block:: console
dpdk-testpmd -a 02:00.4,filtermode=0x88 -- -i
- ``filtermask`` (default **0**)
``filtermask`` devarg works similar to ``filtermode``, but is used
to configure a filter mode combination for HASH (exact-match) filters.
.. note::
The combination chosen for ``filtermask`` devarg **must be a subset** of
the combination chosen for ``filtermode`` devarg.
Default value of **0** makes driver pick the combination configured in
the firmware configuration file on the adapter.
Note that the filter rule will only be inserted in HASH region, if the
rule contains **all** the fields specified in the ``filtermask`` combination.
Otherwise, the filter rule will get inserted in LETCAM region.
The same combination list explained in the tables in ``filtermode`` devarg
section earlier applies for ``filtermask`` devarg, as well.
For example, to enable matching only protocol field in IPv4 header, the
``filtermask`` combination must be given as:
.. code-block:: console
dpdk-testpmd -a 02:00.4,filtermode=0x88,filtermask=0x80 -- -i

FreeBSD
-------
.. _freebsd-installation:
FreeBSD Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steps to manually install the latest firmware from the downloaded Chelsio
Unified Wire package for FreeBSD operating system are as follows:
#. Load the kernel module:
.. code-block:: console
kldload if_cxgbe
#. Use dmesg to get the t5nex instance assigned to the Chelsio card:
.. code-block:: console
dmesg | grep "t5nex"
Example output:
.. code-block:: console
t5nex0: <Chelsio T520-CR> irq 16 at device 0.4 on pci2
cxl0: <port 0> on t5nex0
cxl1: <port 1> on t5nex0
t5nex0: PCIe x8, 2 ports, 14 MSI-X interrupts, 31 eq, 13 iq
In the example above, a Chelsio T520-CR card is bound to a t5nex0 instance.
#. Install cxgbetool from FreeBSD source repository:
.. code-block:: console
cd <path_to_FreeBSD_source>/tools/tools/cxgbetool/
make && make install
#. Use cxgbetool to load the firmware image onto the card:
.. code-block:: console
cxgbetool t5nex0 loadfw <path_to_uwire>/src/network/firmware/t5fw-*.bin
#. Unload and reload the kernel module:
.. code-block:: console
kldunload if_cxgbe
kldload if_cxgbe
#. Verify with sysctl:
.. code-block:: console
sysctl -a | grep "t5nex" | grep "firmware"
Example output:
.. code-block:: console
dev.t5nex.0.firmware_version: 1.25.6.0
Running testpmd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section demonstrates how to launch **testpmd** with Chelsio
devices managed by librte_net_cxgbe in FreeBSD operating system.
#. Change to DPDK source directory where the target has been compiled in
section :ref:`driver-compilation`:
.. code-block:: console
cd <DPDK-source-directory>
#. Copy the contigmem kernel module to /boot/kernel directory:
.. code-block:: console
cp <build_dir>/kernel/freebsd/contigmem.ko /boot/kernel/
#. Add the following lines to /boot/loader.conf:
.. code-block:: console
# reserve 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory using contigmem driver
hw.contigmem.num_buffers=2
hw.contigmem.buffer_size=1073741824
# load contigmem module during boot process
contigmem_load="YES"
The above lines load the contigmem kernel module during boot process and
allocate 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory to be used for DPDK later on.
This is to avoid issues with potential memory fragmentation during later
system up time, which may result in failure of allocating the contiguous
memory required for the contigmem kernel module.
#. Restart the system and ensure the contigmem module is loaded successfully:
.. code-block:: console
reboot
kldstat | grep "contigmem"
Example output:
.. code-block:: console
2 1 0xffffffff817f1000 3118 contigmem.ko
#. Repeat step 1 to ensure that you are in the DPDK source directory.
#. Load the cxgbe kernel module:
.. code-block:: console
kldload if_cxgbe
#. Get the PCI bus addresses of the interfaces bound to t5nex driver:
.. code-block:: console
pciconf -l | grep "t5nex"
Example output:
.. code-block:: console
t5nex0@pci0:2:0:4: class=0x020000 card=0x00001425 chip=0x54011425 rev=0x00
In the above example, the t5nex0 is bound to 2:0:4 bus address.
.. note::
Both the interfaces of a Chelsio 2-port adapter are bound to the
same PCI bus address.
#. Unload the kernel module:
.. code-block:: console
kldunload if_cxgbe
#. Set the PCI bus addresses to hw.nic_uio.bdfs kernel environment parameter:
.. code-block:: console
kenv hw.nic_uio.bdfs="2:0:4"
This automatically binds 2:0:4 to nic_uio kernel driver when it is loaded in
the next step.
.. note::
Currently, CXGBE PMD only supports the binding of PF4 for Chelsio NICs.
#. Load nic_uio kernel driver:
.. code-block:: console
kldload <build_dir>/kernel/freebsd/nic_uio.ko
#. Start testpmd with basic parameters:
.. code-block:: console
./<build_dir>/app/dpdk-testpmd -l 0-3 -n 4 -a 0000:02:00.4 -- -i
Example output:

testpmd. Refer section :ref:`flow-control` for more details.
Sample Application Notes
------------------------
.. _flow-control:
Enable/Disable Flow Control
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flow control pause TX/RX is disabled by default and can be enabled via
testpmd as follows:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx on tx on 0 0 0 0 mac_ctrl_frame_fwd off autoneg on 0
testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx on tx on 0 0 0 0 mac_ctrl_frame_fwd off autoneg on 1
To disable again, run:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx off tx off 0 0 0 0 mac_ctrl_frame_fwd off autoneg off 0
testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx off tx off 0 0 0 0 mac_ctrl_frame_fwd off autoneg off 1
Jumbo Mode
~~~~~~~~~~
There are two ways to enable sending and receiving of jumbo frames via testpmd.
One method involves using the **mtu** command, which changes the mtu of an
individual port without having to stop the selected port. Another method
involves stopping all the ports first and then running **max-pkt-len** command
to configure the mtu of all the ports with a single command.
- To configure each port individually, run the mtu command as follows:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> port config mtu 0 9000
testpmd> port config mtu 1 9000
- To configure all the ports at once, stop all the ports first and run the
