net: enetc: initialize the RFS and RSS memories
Michael tried to enable Advanced Error Reporting through the ENETC's Root Complex Event Collector, and the system started spitting out single bit correctable ECC errors coming from the ENETC interfaces: pcieport 0000:00:1f.0: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: 0000:00:00.0 fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Transaction Layer, (Receiver ID) fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.0: device [1957:e100] error status/mask=00004000/00000000 fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.0: [14] CorrIntErr fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.1: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Transaction Layer, (Receiver ID) fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.1: device [1957:e100] error status/mask=00004000/00000000 fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.1: [14] CorrIntErr Further investigating the port correctable memory error detect register (PCMEDR) shows that these AER errors have an associated SOURCE_ID of 6 (RFS/RSS): $ devmem 0x1f8010e10 32 0xC0000006 $ devmem 0x1f8050e10 32 0xC0000006 Discussion with the hardware design engineers reveals that on LS1028A, the hardware does not do initialization of that RFS/RSS memory, and that software should clear/initialize the entire table before starting to operate. That comes as a bit of a surprise, since the driver does not do initialization of the RFS memory. Also, the initialization of the Receive Side Scaling is done only partially. Even though the entire ENETC IP has a single shared flow steering memory, the flow steering service should returns matches only for TCAM entries that are within the range of the Station Interface that is doing the search. Therefore, it should be sufficient for a Station Interface to initialize all of its own entries in order to avoid any ECC errors, and only the Station Interfaces in use should need initialization. There are Physical Station Interfaces associated with PCIe PFs and Virtual Station Interfaces associated with PCIe VFs. We let the PF driver initialize the entire port's memory, which includes the RFS entries which are going to be used by the VF.
