The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

With the current RX RED/DROP levels of 192/184 for CQE_RX, when
packet incoming rate is high, LLC is getting polluted resulting
in more cache misses and higher latency in packet processing. This
slows down the whole process and performance loss. Hence reduced
the levels to 224/216 (ie for a CQ size of 1024, Rx pkts will be
red dropped or dropped when unused CQE are less than 128/160 respectively)

Currently on the first check if the operation is still not
finished, the poll goes to sleep for 2-5 usecs. But if for
some reason (due to other priority stuff like interrupts etc) by
the time the poll wakes up the 10ms time is expired then we don't
check if operation is finished or not and return failure.
This patch modifies poll logic to check HW operation after sleep so
that the status is checked atleast twice.

Bus mastering is enabled by firmware, but when this driver
is unbinded bus mastering gets disabled by the PCI subsystem
which results interrupts not working when driver is reloaded.
Hence set bus mastering everytime in probe().
Also
- Converted pci_set_dma_mask() and pci_set_consistent_dma_mask()
to dma_set_mask_and_coherent().
- Cleared transaction pending bit which gets set during
driver unbind due to clearing of bus mastering (ME bit).

For retrieving info like interface MAC addresses, packet
parser key extraction config etc currently a command
is sent to firmware and firmware which periodically polls
for commands, processes these and returns the info.
This is resulting in interface initialization taking lot
of time. To optimize this a memory region is shared between
firmware and this driver, firmware while booting puts
static info like these into that region for driver to
read directly without using commands.
With this
- Logic for retrieving packet parser extraction config
via commands is removed and repalced with using the
shared 'fwdata' structure.
- Now RVU MSIX vector address is also retrieved from this fwdata struct
instead of from CSR. Otherwise when kexec/kdump crash kernel loads
CSR will have a IOVA setup by primary kernel which impacts
RVU PF/VF's interrupts.
- Also added a mbox handler for PF/VF interfaces to retrieve their MAC
addresses from AF.

Each of the interface receive channels can be backpressured by
resources upon exhaustion or reaching configured threshold levels.
Resources here are receive buffer queues (Auras) and pkt notification
descriptor queues (CQs). Resources and interface channels are mapped
using backpressure IDs (BPIDs).
HW supports upto 512 BPIDs, this patch divides these BPIDs statically
across CGX/LBK/SDP interfaces as follows.
BPIDs 0 - 191 are mapped to LMAC channels, 16 per LMAC.
BPIDs 192 - 255 are mapped to LBK channels.
BPIDs 256 - 511 are mapped to SDP channels.
Also did the needed basic configuration of BPIDs.
Added mbox handlers with which a PF device can request for a BPID which
it will use to configure Auras and CQs.

With the ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings function in core/ethtool.c,
ibmveth, netvsc, and virtio now use the core's helper function.
Funtionality changes that pertain to ibmveth driver include:
1. Changed the initial hardcoded link speed to 1GB.
2. Added support for allowing a user to change the reported link
speed via ethtool.
Functionality changes to the netvsc driver include:
1. When netvsc_get_link_ksettings is called, it will defer to the VF
device if it exists to pull accelerated networking values, otherwise
pull default or user-defined values.
2. Similarly, if netvsc_set_link_ksettings called and a VF device
exists, the real values of speed and duplex are changed.

Add a devlink parameter to control the number of large groups in a

and 1024.
The size of each large group can be calculated according to the following
formula: size = 4M / (fdb_large_groups + 1).
Examples:
- Set the number of large groups to 20.
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:82:00.0 name fdb_large_groups \
cmode driverinit value 20
Then run devlink reload command to apply the new value.
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:82:00.0
- Read the number of large groups in flow table.
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:82:00.0 name fdb_large_groups
pci/0000:82:00.0:
name fdb_large_groups type driver-specific

When using port mirroring, we forward the traffic to another table and
use that table to forward to the mirrored vport. Since the hardware
loses the values of reg c, and in particular reg c0, we fail the match
on the input vport which previously existed in reg c0. To overcome this
situation, we use a set of per vport tables, positioned at the lowest
priority, and forward traffic to those tables. Since these tables are
per vport, we can avoid matching on reg c0.

for 100ms before checking if the firmware is ready. The waiting is
necessary because before that the device is irresponsive and the first
read can result in a completion timeout.
While 100ms is sufficient for Spectrum-1 and Spectrum-2, it is
insufficient for Spectrum-3.
Fix this by increasing the timeout to 200ms.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

We can't just use the top bits of the last sync event as they could be
off-by-one every 65,536 seconds, giving an error in reconstruction of
65,536 seconds.
This patch uses the difference in the bottom 16 bits (mod 2^16) to
calculate an offset that needs to be applied to the last sync event to
get to the current time.
