Merge tag 'mlx5-updates-2023-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux
Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-updates-2023-04-20 1) Dragos Improves RX page pool, and provides some fixes to his previous series: 1.1) Fix releasing page_pool for striding RQ and legacy RQ nonlinear case 1.2) Hook NAPIs to page pools to gain more performance. 2) From Roi, Some cleanups to TC and eswitch modules. 3) Maher migrates vnic diagnostic counters reporting from debugfs to a dedicated devlink health reporter Maher Says: =========== net/mlx5: Expose vnic diagnostic counters using devlink Currently, vnic diagnostic counters are exposed through the following debugfs: $ ls /sys/kernel/debug/mlx5/0000:08:00.0/esw/vf_0/vnic_diag/ cq_overrun quota_exceeded_command total_q_under_processor_handle invalid_command send_queue_priority_update_flow nic_receive_steering_discard The current design does not allow the hypervisor to view the diagnostic counters of its VFs, in case the VFs get bound to a VM. In other words, the counters are not exposed for representor interfaces. Furthermore, the debugfs design is inconvenient future-wise, in case more counters need to be reported by the driver in the future. As these counters pertain to vNIC health, it is more appropriate to utilize the devlink health reporter to expose them. Thus, this patchest includes the following changes: * Drop the current vnic diagnostic counters debugfs interface. * Add a vnic devlink health reporter for PFs/VFs core devices, which when diagnosed will dump vnic diagnostic counter values that are queried from FW. * Add a vnic devlink health reporter for the representor interface, which serves the same purpose listed in the previous point, in addition to allowing the hypervisor to view its VFs diagnostic counters, even when the VFs are bounded to external VMs. Example of devlink health reporter usage is: $devlink health diagnose pci/0000:08:00.0 reporter vnic vNIC env counters: total_error_queues: 0 send_queue_priority_update_flow: 0 comp_eq_overrun: 0 async_eq_overrun: 0 cq_overrun: 0 invalid_command: 0 quota_exceeded_command: 0 nic_receive_steering_discard: 0 =========== 4) SW steering fixes and improvements Yevgeny Kliteynik Says: ======================= These short patch series are just small fixes / improvements for SW steering: - Patch 1: Fix dumping of legacy modify_hdr in debug dump to align to what is expected by parser - Patch 2: Have separate threshold for ICM sync per ICM type - Patch 3: Add more info to the steering debug dump - Linux version and device name - Patch 4: Keep track of number of buddies that are currently in use per domain per buddy type ======================= * tag 'mlx5-updates-2023-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux: net/mlx5: Update op_mode to op_mod for port selection net/mlx5: E-Switch, Remove unused mlx5_esw_offloads_vport_metadata_set() net/mlx5: E-Switch, Remove redundant dev arg from mlx5_esw_vport_alloc() net/mlx5: Include linux/pci.h for pci_msix_can_alloc_dyn() net/mlx5e: RX, Hook NAPIs to page pools net/mlx5e: RX, Fix XDP_TX page release for legacy rq nonlinear case net/mlx5e: RX, Fix releasing page_pool pages twice for striding RQ net/mlx5e: Add vnic devlink health reporter to representors net/mlx5: Add vnic devlink health reporter to PFs/VFs Revert "net/mlx5: Expose vnic diagnostic counters for eswitch managed vports" Revert "net/mlx5: Expose steering dropped packets counter" net/mlx5: DR, Add memory statistics for domain object net/mlx5: DR, Add more info in domain dbg dump net/mlx5: DR, Calculate sync threshold of each pool according to its type net/mlx5: DR, Fix dumping of legacy modify_hdr in debug dump ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230421013850.349646-1-saeed@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

NOTE: This command can run only on PF.
+
+vnic reporter
+-------------
+The vnic reporter implements only the `diagnose` callback.
+It is responsible for querying the vnic diagnostic counters from fw and displaying
+them in realtime.
+
+Description of the vnic counters:
+total_q_under_processor_handle: number of queues in an error state due to
+an async error or errored command.
+send_queue_priority_update_flow: number of QP/SQ priority/SL update
+events.
+cq_overrun: number of times CQ entered an error state due to an
+overflow.
+async_eq_overrun: number of times an EQ mapped to async events was
+overrun.
+comp_eq_overrun: number of times an EQ mapped to completion events was
+overrun.
+quota_exceeded_command: number of commands issued and failed due to quota
+exceeded.
+invalid_command: number of commands issued and failed dues to any reason
+other than quota exceeded.
+nic_receive_steering_discard: number of packets that completed RX flow
+steering but were discarded due to a mismatch in flow table.
+
+User commands examples:
+- Diagnose PF/VF vnic counters
+ $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.1 reporter vnic
+- Diagnose representor vnic counters (performed by supplying devlink port of the
+ representor, which can be obtained via devlink port command)
+ $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.1/65537 reporter vnic
+
+NOTE: This command can run over all interfaces such as PF/VF and representor ports.
