      fm10k: introduce a message queue for MAC/VLAN messages · fc917368
      Jacob Keller authored 
      Under some circumstances, when dealing with a large number of MAC
address or VLAN updates at once, the fm10k driver, particularly the VFs
can overload the mailbox with too many messages at once.

This results in a mailbox timeout, which causes the driver to initiate
a reset. During the reset, we re-send all the same messages that
originally caused the timeout. This results in a cycle of resets each
triggering a future reset.

To fix or avoid this, we introduce a workqueue item which monitors
a queue of MAC and VLAN requests. These requests are queued to the end
of the list, and we process as a FIFO periodically.

Initially we only handle requests for the netdev, but we do handle
unicast MAC addresses, multicast MAC addresses, and update VLAN
requests.

A future patch will add support to use this queue for handling MAC
update requests from the VF<->PF mailbox.

The MAC/VLAN work item will keep checking to make sure that each request
does not overflow the mailbox and cause a timeout. If it might, then the
work item will reschedule itself a short time later. This avoids any
reset cycle, since we never send the message if the mailbox is not
ready.

As an alternative, we tried increasing the mailbox message FIFO, but
this just delays the problem and results in needless memory waste on the
system. Our new message queue is dynamically allocated so only uses as
much memory as it needs. Additionally, it need not be contiguous like
the Tx and Rx FIFOs.

Note that this patch chose to only create a queue for MAC and VLAN
messages, since these are the only messages sent in a large enough
volume to cause the reset loop. Other messages are very unlikely to
overflow the mailbox Tx FIFO so easily.

      fm10k: use generic PM hooks instead of legacy PCIe power hooks · 8249c47c
      Jacob Keller authored 
      Replace the PCI specific legacy power management hooks with the new
generic power management hooks which work properly for both suspend and
hibernate. The new generic system is better and properly handles the
lower level PCIe power management rather than forcing the driver to
handle it.

      fm10k: use spinlock to implement mailbox lock · b4fcd436
      Jacob Keller authored 
      Lets not re-invent the locking wheel. Remove our bitlock and use
a proper spinlock instead.

      fm10k: prepare_for_reset() when we lose PCIe Link · 0b40f457
      Jacob Keller authored 
      If we lose PCIe link, such as when an unannounced PFLR event occurs, or
when a device is surprise removed, we currently detach the device and
close the netdev. This unfortunately leaves a lot of things still
active, such as the msix_mbx_pf IRQ, and Tx/Rx resources.

This can cause problems because the register reads will return
potentially invalid values which may result in unknown driver behavior.

Begin the process of resetting using fm10k_prepare_for_reset(), much in
the same way as the suspend and resume cycle does. This will attempt to
shutdown as much as possible, in order to prevent possible issues.

A naive implementation for this has issues, because there are now
multiple flows calling the reset logic and setting a reset bit. This
would cause problems, because the "re-attach" routine might call
fm10k_handle_reset() prior to the reset actually finishing. Instead,
we'll add state bits to indicate which flow actually initiated the
reset.

For the general reset flow, we'll assume that if someone else is
resetting that we do not need to handle it at all, so it does not need
its own state bit. For the suspend case, we will simply issue a warning
indicating that we are attempting to recover from this case when
resuming.

For the detached subtask, we'll simply refuse to re-attach until we've
actually initiated a reset as part of that flow.

Finally, we'll stop attempting to manage the mailbox subtask when we're
detached, since there's nothing we can do if we don't have a PCIe
address.

Overall this produces a much cleaner shutdown and recovery cycle for
a PCIe surprise remove event.
