Device ID comparison in igc_is_device_id_i226 is performed before
the ID is set, resulting in always failing check on init.
Before the patch:
* L1.2 is not disabled on init
* L1.2 is properly disabled after suspend-resume cycle
With the patch:
* L1.2 is properly disabled both on init and after suspend-resume
How to test:
Connect to the 1G link with 300+ mbit/s Internet speed, and run
the download speed test, such as:
curl -o /dev/null http://speedtest.selectel.ru/1GB
Without L1.2 disabled, the speed would be no more than ~200 mbit/s.
With L1.2 disabled, the speed would reach 1 gbit/s.
Note: it's required that the latency between your host and the remote
be around 3-5 ms, the test inside LAN (<1 ms latency) won't trigger the
issue.

Introduce support for a lowest priority wildcard (catch-all) rule in
ethtool's Network Flow Classification (NFC) for the igc driver. The
wildcard rule directs all unmatched network traffic, including traffic not
captured by Receive Side Scaling (RSS), to a specified queue. This
functionality utilizes the Default Queue feature available in I225/I226
hardware.
The implementation has been validated on Intel ADL-S systems with two
back-to-back connected I226 network interfaces.
Testing Procedure:
1. On the Device Under Test (DUT), verify the initial statistic:
$ ethtool -S enp1s0 | grep rx_q.*packets
rx_queue_0_packets: 0
rx_queue_1_packets: 0
rx_queue_2_packets: 0
rx_queue_3_packets: 0
2. From the Link Partner, send 10 ARP packets:
$ arping -c 10 -I enp170s0 169.254.1.2
3. On the DUT, verify the packet reception on Queue 0:
$ ethtool -S enp1s0 | grep rx_q.*packets
rx_queue_0_packets: 10
rx_queue_1_packets: 0
rx_queue_2_packets: 0
rx_queue_3_packets: 0
4. On the DUT, add a wildcard rule to route all packets to Queue 3:
$ sudo ethtool -N enp1s0 flow-type ether queue 3
5. From the Link Partner, send another 10 ARP packets:
$ arping -c 10 -I enp170s0 169.254.1.2
6. Now, packets are routed to Queue 3 by the wildcard (Default Queue) rule:
$ ethtool -S enp1s0 | grep rx_q.*packets
rx_queue_0_packets: 10
rx_queue_1_packets: 0
rx_queue_2_packets: 0
rx_queue_3_packets: 10
7. On the DUT, add a EtherType rule to route ARP packet to Queue 1:
$ sudo ethtool -N enp1s0 flow-type ether proto 0x0806 queue 1
8. From the Link Partner, send another 10 ARP packets:
$ arping -c 10 -I enp170s0 169.254.1.2
9. Now, packets are routed to Queue 1 by the EtherType rule because it is
higher priority than the wildcard (Default Queue) rule:
$ ethtool -S enp1s0 | grep rx_q.*packets
rx_queue_0_packets: 10
rx_queue_1_packets: 10
rx_queue_2_packets: 0
rx_queue_3_packets: 10
10. On the DUT, delete all the NFC rules:
$ sudo ethtool -N enp1s0 delete 63
$ sudo ethtool -N enp1s0 delete 64
11. From the Link Partner, send another 10 ARP packets:
$ arping -c 10 -I enp170s0 169.254.1.2
12. Now, packets are routed to Queue 0 because the value of Default Queue
is reset back to 0:
$ ethtool -S enp1s0 | grep rx_q.*packets
rx_queue_0_packets: 20
rx_queue_1_packets: 10
rx_queue_2_packets: 0
rx_queue_3_packets: 10

I226 devices advertise support for the PCI-E link L1.2 substate. However,
due to a hardware limitation, the exit latency from this low-power state
is longer than the packet buffer can tolerate under high traffic
conditions. This can lead to packet loss and degraded performance.
To mitigate this, disable the L1.2 substate. The increased power draw
between L1.1 and L1.2 is insignificant.

By default, igc assigns TX hw queue 0 the highest priority and queue 3
the lowest. This is opposite of most NICs, where TX hw queue 3 has the
highest priority and queue 0 the lowest.
mqprio in igc already uses TX arbitration unconditionally to reverse TX
queue priority when mqprio is enabled. The TX arbitration logic does not
require a private flag, because mqprio was added recently and no known
users depend on the default queue ordering, which differs from the typical
convention.
taprio does not use TX arbitration, so it inherits the default igc TX
queue priority order. This causes tc command inconsistencies when
configuring frame preemption with taprio compared to mqprio in igc.
Other tc command inconsistencies and configuration issues already exist
when using taprio on igc compared to other network controllers. These
issues are described in a later section.
To harmonize TX queue priority behavior between taprio and mqprio, and
to fix these issues without breaking long-standing taprio use cases,
this patch adds a new private flag, called reverse-tsn-txq-prio, to
reverse the TX queue priority. It makes queue 3 the highest and queue 0
the lowest, reusing the TX arbitration logic already used by mqprio.
Users must set the private flag when enabling frame preemption with
taprio to follow the standard convention. Doing so promotes adoption of
the correct priority model for new features while preserving
compatibility with legacy configurations.
This new private flag addresses:
1. Non-standard socket -> tc -> TX hw queue mapping for taprio in igc
Without the private flag:
- taprio maps (socket -> tc -> TX hardware queue) differently on igc
compared to other network controllers
- On igc, mqprio maps tc differently from taprio, since mqprio already
uses TX arbitration
The following examples compare taprio configuration on igc and other
network controllers:
a) On other NICs (TX hw queue 3 is highest priority):
taprio num_tc 4 map 0 1 2 3 .... \
queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3
Mapping translates to:
socket 0 -> tc 0 -> queue 0
socket 3 -> tc 3 -> queue 3
This is the normal mapping that respects the standard convention:
higher socket number -> higher tc -> higher priority TX hw queue
b) On igc (TX hw queue 0 is highest priority by default):
taprio num_tc 4 map 3 2 1 0 .... \
queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3
Mapping translates to:
socket 0 -> tc 3 -> queue 3
socket 3 -> tc 0 -> queue 0
This igc tc mapping example is based on Intel's TSN validation test
case, where a higher socket priority maps to a higher priority queue.
It respects the mapping:
higher socket number -> higher priority TX hw queue
but breaks the expected ordering:
higher tc -> higher priority TX hw queue
as defined in [Ref1]. This custom mapping complicates common taprio
setup across NICs.
2. Non-standard frame preemption mapping for taprio in igc
Without the private flag:
- Compared to other network controllers, taprio on igc must flip the
expected fp sequence, since express traffic is expected to map to the
highest priority queue and preemptible traffic to lower ones
- On igc, frame preemption configuration for mqprio differs from taprio,
since mqprio already uses TX arbitration
The following examples compare taprio frame preemption configuration on
igc and other network controllers:
a) On other NICs (TX hw queue 3 is highest priority):
taprio num_tc 4 map ..... \
queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 \
fp P P P E
Mapping translates to:
tc0, tc1, tc2 -> preemptible -> queue 0, 1, 2
tc3 -> express -> queue 3
This is the normal mapping that respects the standard convention:
higher tc -> express traffic -> higher priority TX hw queue
lower tc -> preemptible traffic -> lower priority TX hw queue
b) On igc (TX hw queue 0 is highest priority by default):
taprio num_tc 4 map ...... \
queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 \
fp E P P P
Mapping translates to:
tc0 -> express -> queue 0
tc1, tc2, tc3 -> preemptible -> queue 1, 2, 3
This inversion respects the mapping of:
express traffic -> higher priority TX hw queue
but breaks the expected ordering:
higher tc -> express traffic
as defined in [Ref1] where higher tc indicates higher priority. In
this case, the lower tc0 is assigned to express traffic. This custom
mapping further complicates common preemption setup across NICs.
Tests were performed on taprio with the following combinations, where
two apps send traffic simultaneously on different queues:
Private Flag Traffic Sent By Traffic Sent By
----------------------------------------------------------------
enabled iperf3 (queue 3) iperf3 (queue 0)
disabled iperf3 (queue 0) iperf3 (queue 3)

disabled real-time app (queue 0) iperf3 (queue 3)

Private flag is controlled with:
ethtool --set-priv-flags enp1s0 reverse-tsn-txq-prio <on|off>
[Ref1]
IEEE 802.1Q clause 8.6.8 Transmission selection:
"For a given Port and traffic class, frames are selected from the
corresponding queue for transmission if and only if:
...
b) For each queue corresponding to a numerically higher value of traffic
class supported by the Port, the operation of the transmission selection

Previously, TX arbitration prioritized queues based on the TC they were
mapped to. A queue mapped to TC 3 had higher priority than one mapped to
TC 0.
To improve code reuse for upcoming patches and align with typical NIC
behavior, this patch updates the logic to prioritize higher queue numbers
when mqprio is used. As a result, queue 0 becomes the lowest priority and
queue 3 becomes the highest.
This patch also introduces igc_tsn_is_tc_to_queue_priority_ordered() to
preserve the original TC-based priority rule and reject configurations
where a higher TC maps to a lower queue offset.

The current MQPRIO offload implementation uses the legacy TSN Tx mode. In
this mode the hardware uses four packet buffers and considers queue
priorities.
In order to harmonize the TAPRIO implementation with MQPRIO, switch to the
regular TSN Tx mode. This mode also uses four packet buffers and considers
queue priorities. In addition to the legacy mode, transmission is always
coupled to Qbv. The driver already has mechanisms to use a dummy schedule
of 1 second with all gates open for ETF. Simply use this for MQPRIO too.
This reduces code and makes it easier to add support for frame preemption
later.
Tested on i225 with real time application using high priority queue, iperf3
using low priority queue and network TAP device.

Commit 1a931c4f5e ("igc: add lock preventing multiple simultaneous PTM
transactions") added a new mutex to protect concurrent PTM transactions.
This lock is acquired in igc_ptp_reset() in order to ensure the PTM
registers are properly disabled after a device reset.
The flow where the lock is acquired already holds a spinlock, so acquiring
a mutex leads to a sleep-while-locking bug, reported both by smatch,
and the kernel test robot.
The critical section in igc_ptp_reset() does correctly use the
readx_poll_timeout_atomic variants, but the standard PTM flow uses regular
sleeping variants. This makes converting the mutex to a spinlock a bit
tricky.
Instead, re-order the locking in igc_ptp_reset. Acquire the mutex first,
and then the tmreg_lock spinlock. This is safe because there is no other
ordering dependency on these locks, as this is the only place where both
locks were acquired simultaneously. Indeed, any other flow acquiring locks
in that order would be wrong regardless.

This patch implements the "ethtool --set-mm" callback to trigger the
frame preemption verification handshake.
Uses the MAC Merge Software Verification (mmsv) mechanism in ethtool
to perform the verification handshake for igc.
The structure fpe.mmsv is set by mmsv in ethtool and should remain
read-only for the driver.
Other mmsv callbacks:
a) configure_tx() -> not used yet at this point
- igc lacks registers to configure FPE in the transmit direction, so
this API is not utilized for now. When igc supports preemptible queue,
driver will use this API to manage its configuration.
b) configure_pmac() -> not used
- this callback dynamically controls pmac_enabled at runtime. For
example, mmsv calls configure_pmac() and disables pmac_enabled when
the link partner goes down, even if the user previously enabled it.
The intention is to save power but it is not feasible in igc
because it causes an endless adapter reset loop:
1) Board A and Board B complete the verification handshake. Tx mode
register for both boards are in TSN mode.
2) Board B link goes down.
On Board A:
3) mmsv calls configure_pmac() with pmac_enabled = false.
4) configure_pmac() in igc updates a new field based on pmac_enabled.
Driver uses this field in igc_tsn_new_flags() to indicate that the
user enabled/disabled FPE.
5) configure_pmac() in igc calls igc_tsn_offload_apply() to check
whether an adapter reset is needed. Calls existing logic in
igc_tsn_will_tx_mode_change() and igc_tsn_new_flags().
6) Since pmac_enabled is now disabled and no other TSN feature is
active, igc_tsn_will_tx_mode_change() evaluates to true because Tx
mode will switch from TSN to Legacy.
7) Driver resets the adapter.
8) Registers are set, and Tx mode switches to Legacy.
9) When link partner is up, steps 3-8 repeat, but this time with
pmac_enabled = true, reactivating TSN.
igc_tsn_will_tx_mode_change() evaluates to true again, since Tx
mode will switch from Legacy to TSN.
10) Driver resets the adapter.
11) Adapter reset completes, registers are set, and Tx mode switches to
TSN.
On Board B:
12) Adapter reset on Board A at step 10 causes it to detect its link
partner as down.
13) Repeats steps 3-8.
14) Once reset adapter on Board A is completed at step 11, it detects
its link partner as up.
15) Repeats steps 9-11.
- this cycle repeats indefinitely. To avoid this issue, igc only uses
mmsv.pmac_enabled to track whether FPE is enabled or disabled.

The PTP_PEROUT_REQUEST2 ioctl has gained support for flags specifying
specific output behavior including PTP_PEROUT_ONE_SHOT,
PTP_PEROUT_DUTY_CYCLE, PTP_PEROUT_PHASE.
Driver authors are notorious for not checking the flags of the request.
This results in misinterpreting the request, generating an output signal
that does not match the requested value. It is anticipated that even more
flags will be added in the future, resulting in even more broken requests.
Expecting these issues to be caught during review or playing whack-a-mole
after the fact is not a great solution.
Instead, introduce the supported_perout_flags field in the ptp_clock_info
structure. Update the core character device logic to explicitly reject any
request which has a flag not on this list.
This ensures that drivers must 'opt in' to the flags they support. Drivers
which don't set the .supported_perout_flags field will not need to check
that unsupported flags aren't passed, as the core takes care of this.
Update the drivers which do support flags to set this new field.
Note the following driver files set n_per_out to a non-zero value but did
not check the flags at all:
• drivers/ptp/ptp_clockmatrix.c
• drivers/ptp/ptp_idt82p33.c

The PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST(2) ioctl has a flags field which specifies how the
external timestamp request should behave. This includes which edge of the
signal to timestamp, as well as a specialized "offset" mode. It is expected
that more flags will be added in the future.
Driver authors routinely do not check the flags, often accepting requests
with flags which they do not support. Even drivers which do check flags may
not be future-proofed to reject flags not yet defined. Thus, any future
flag additions often require manually updating drivers to reject these
flags.
This approach of hoping we catch flag checks during review, or playing
whack-a-mole after the fact is the wrong approach.
Introduce the "supported_extts_flags" field to the ptp_clock_info
structure. This field defines the set of flags the device actually
supports.
Update the core character device logic to check this field and reject
unsupported requests. Getting this right is somewhat tricky. First, to
avoid unnecessary repetition and make basic functionality work when
.supported_extts_flags is 0, the core always accepts the PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE
flag. This flag is used to set the 'on' parameter to the .enable function
and is thus always 'supported' by all drivers.
For backwards compatibility, the PTP_RISING_EDGE and PTP_FALLING_EDGE flags
are merely "hints" when using the old PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl, and are not
expected to be enforced. If the user issues PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2, the
PTP_STRICT_FLAGS flag is added which is supposed to inform the driver to
strictly validate the flags and reject unsupported requests. To handle
this, first check if the driver reports PTP_STRICT_FLAGS support. If it
does not, then always allow the PTP_RISING_EDGE and PTP_FALLING_EDGE flags.
This keeps backwards compatibility with the original PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST
ioctl where these flags are not guaranteed to be honored.
This way, drivers which do not set the supported_extts_flags will continue
to accept requests for the original PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl. The core will
automatically reject requests with new flags, and correctly reject requests
with PTP_STRICT_FLAGS, where the driver is supposed to strictly validate
the flags.
Update the various drivers, refactoring their validation logic into the
.supported_extts_flags field. For consistency and readability,
PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE is not set in the supported flags list, and
PTP_EXTTS_EDGES is expanded to PTP_RISING_EDGE | PTP_FALLING_EDGE in all
cases.
Note the following driver files set n_ext_ts to a non-zero value but did
not check flags at all:
• drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpaa2-ptp.c
• drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/enetc/enetc_ptp.c
• drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ptp.c
• drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2/nic/otx2_ptp.c
• drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb_ptp.c
• drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rtsn.c
• drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rtsn.h
• drivers/net/ethernet/ti/am65-cpts.c
• drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpts.h
• drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icss_iep.c
• drivers/net/ethernet/xscale/ptp_ixp46x.c
• drivers/net/phy/bcm-phy-ptp.c
• drivers/ptp/ptp_ocp.c
• drivers/ptp/ptp_pch.c
• drivers/ptp/ptp_qoriq.c
These drivers behavior does change slightly: they will now reject the
PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl, because they do not strictly validate their
flags. This also makes them no longer incorrectly accept PTP_EXT_OFFSET.
Also note that the renesas ravb driver does not support PTP_STRICT_FLAGS.
We could leave the .supported_extts_flags as 0, but I added the
PTP_RISING_EDGE | PTP_FALLING_EDGE since the driver previously manually
validated these flags. This is equivalent to 0 because the core will allow
these flags regardless unless PTP_STRICT_FLAGS is also set.

The i225/i226 hardware retries if it receives an inappropriate response
from the upstream device. If the device retries too quickly, the root
port does not respond.
The wait between attempts was reduced from 10us to 1us in commit
6b8aa753a9 ("igc: Decrease PTM short interval from 10 us to 1 us"), which
said:
With the 10us interval, we were seeing PTM transactions take around
12us. Hardware team suggested this interval could be lowered to 1us
which was confirmed with PCIe sniffer. With the 1us interval, PTM
dialogs took around 2us.
While a 1us short cycle time was thought to be theoretically sufficient, it
turns out in practice it is not quite long enough. It is unclear if the
problem is in the root port or an issue in i225/i226.
Increase the wait from 1us to 4us. Increasing to 2us appeared to work in
practice on the setups we have available. A value of 4us was chosen due to
the limited hardware available for testing, with a goal of ensuring we wait
long enough without overly penalizing the response time when unnecessary.
The issue can be reproduced with the following:
$ sudo phc2sys -R 1000 -O 0 -i tsn0 -m
Note: 1000 Hz (-R 1000) is unrealistically large, but provides a way to
quickly reproduce the issue.

Writing to clear the PTM status 'valid' bit while the PTM cycle is

This patch also fixes a hang in igc_probe() when loading the igc
driver in the kdump kernel on systems supporting PTM.
The igc driver running in the base kernel enables PTM trigger in
igc_probe(). Therefore the driver is always in PTM trigger mode,
except in brief periods when manually triggering a PTM cycle.
When a crash occurs, the NIC is reset while PTM trigger is enabled.
Due to a hardware problem, the NIC is subsequently in a bad busmaster
state and doesn't handle register reads/writes. When running
igc_probe() in the kdump kernel, the first register access to a NIC
register hangs driver probing and ultimately breaks kdump.
With this patch, igc has PTM trigger disabled most of the time,
and the trigger is only enabled for very brief (10 - 100 us) periods
when manually triggering a PTM cycle. Chances that a crash occurs
during a PTM trigger are not 0, but extremely reduced.
