Currently each packet inserted in eswitch is tagged with a internal
metadata to indicate source vport. Metadata tagging is not always
needed. Metadata insertion is needed for multi-port RoCE, failover
between representors and stacked devices. In many other cases,
metadata enablement is not needed.
Metadata insertion slows down the packet processing rate of the E-switch
when it is in switchdev mode.
Below table show performance gain with metadata disabled for VXLAN
offload rules in both SMFS and DMFS steering mode on ConnectX-5 device.
----------------------------------------------
| steering | metadata | pkt size | rx pps |
| mode | | | (million) |
----------------------------------------------
| smfs | disabled | 128Bytes | 42 |
----------------------------------------------
| smfs | enabled | 128Bytes | 36 |
----------------------------------------------
| dmfs | disabled | 128Bytes | 42 |
----------------------------------------------
| dmfs | enabled | 128Bytes | 36 |
----------------------------------------------
Hence, allow user to disable metadata using driver specific devlink
parameter. Metadata setting of the eswitch is applicable only for the
switchdev mode.
Example to show and disable metadata before changing eswitch mode:
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata
pci/0000:06:00.0:
name esw_port_metadata type driver-specific
values:
cmode runtime value true
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 \
name esw_port_metadata value false cmode runtime
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev

====================
mlx5 subfunction support
Parav Pandit says:
This patchset introduces support for mlx5 subfunction (SF).
A subfunction is a lightweight function that has a parent PCI function on
which it is deployed. mlx5 subfunction has its own function capabilities
and its own resources. This means a subfunction has its own dedicated
queues(txq, rxq, cq, eq). These queues are neither shared nor stolen from
the parent PCI function.
When subfunction is RDMA capable, it has its own QP1, GID table and rdma
resources neither shared nor stolen from the parent PCI function.
A subfunction has dedicated window in PCI BAR space that is not shared
with the other subfunctions or parent PCI function. This ensures that all
class devices of the subfunction accesses only assigned PCI BAR space.
A Subfunction supports eswitch representation through which it supports tc
offloads. User must configure eswitch to send/receive packets from/to
subfunction port.
Subfunctions share PCI level resources such as PCI MSI-X IRQs with
their other subfunctions and/or with its parent PCI function.
Subfunction support is discussed in detail in RFC [1] and [2].
RFC [1] and extension [2] describes requirements, design and proposed
plumbing using devlink, auxiliary bus and sysfs for systemd/udev
support. Functionality of this patchset is best explained using real
examples further below.
overview:
--------
A subfunction can be created and deleted by a user using devlink port
add/delete interface.
A subfunction can be configured using devlink port function attribute
before its activated.
When a subfunction is activated, it results in an auxiliary device on
the host PCI device where it is deployed. A driver binds to the
auxiliary device that further creates supported class devices.
example subfunction usage sequence:
-----------------------------------
Change device to switchdev mode:
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev
Add a devlink port of subfunction flavour:
$ devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88
Configure mac address of the port function:
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88
Now activate the function:
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state active
Now use the auxiliary device and class devices:
$ devlink dev show
pci/0000:06:00.0
auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.4
$ ip link show
127: ens2f0np0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 24:8a:07:b3:d1:12 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
altname enp6s0f0np0
129: p0sf88: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:00:00:00:88:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
$ rdma dev show
43: rdmap6s0f0: node_type ca fw 16.29.0550 node_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112 sys_image_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112

After use inactivate the function:
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state inactive
Now delete the subfunction port:
$ devlink port del ens2f0npf0sf88

Introduce API to add and delete an auxiliary device for an SF.
Each SF has its own dedicated window in the PCI BAR 2.
SF device is similar to PCI PF and VF that supports multiple class of
devices such as net, rdma and vdpa.
SF device will be added or removed in subsequent patch during SF
devlink port function state change command.
A subfunction device exposes user supplied subfunction number which will
be further used by systemd/udev to have deterministic name for its
netdevice and rdma device.
An mlx5 subfunction auxiliary device example:
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev
$ devlink port show
pci/0000:06:00.0/65535: type eth netdev ens2f0np0 flavour physical port 0 splittable false
$ devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88
pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth netdev eth6 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false
function:
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached
$ devlink port show ens2f0npf0sf88
pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev ens2f0npf0sf88 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false
function:
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 state inactive opstate detached
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 state active
On activation,
$ ls -l /sys/bus/auxiliary/devices/
mlx5_core.sf.4 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:06:00.0/mlx5_core.sf.4

The PCI vendor IDs in the documentation inaccurately describe the ENA
devices. For example, the 1d0f:ec20 can have LLQ support. The driver
loads in LLQ mode by default, and a message is printed to the kernel
ring if the mode isn't supported by the device, so the device table
isn't needed.
Also, LLQ can support various entry sizes, so the documentation is
updated to reflect that.
Interrupt moderation description is also updated to be more accurate.

Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents
have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users
first select a well defined device type, and then search for
a particular driver.
While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to
Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people
sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.
