net/mlx5: Introduce Mellanox SmartNIC and modify page management logic
Mellanox's SmartNIC combines embedded CPU(e.g, ARM) processing power
with advanced network offloads to accelerate a multitude of security,
networking and storage applications.
With the introduction of the SmartNIC, there is a new PCI function
called Embedded CPU Physical Function(ECPF). And it's possible for a
PF to get its ICM pages from the ECPF PCI function. Driver shall
identify if it is running on such a function by reading a bit in
the initialization segment.
When firmware asks for pages, it would issue a page request event
specifying how many pages it requests and for which function. That
driver responds with a manage_pages command providing the requested
pages along with an indication for which function it is providing these
pages.
The encoding before this patch was as follows:
function_id == 0: pages are requested for the function receiving
the EQE.
function_id != 0: pages are requested for VF identified by the
function_id value
A new one bit field in the EQE identifies that pages are requested for
the ECPF.
The notion of page_supplier can be introduced here and to support that,
manage pages and query pages were modified so firmware can distinguish
the following cases:
1. Function provides pages for itself
2. PF provides pages for its VF
3. ECPF provides pages to itself
4. ECPF provides pages for another function
This distinction is possible through the introduction of the bit
"embedded_cpu_function" in query_pages, manage_pages and page request
EQE.
