-SB100 device driver
-===================
-
-sb1000 is a module network device driver for the General Instrument (also known
-as NextLevel) SURFboard1000 internal cable modem board. This is an ISA card
-which is used by a number of cable TV companies to provide cable modem access.
-It's a one-way downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link
-is provided by your regular phone modem.
-
-This driver was written by Franco Venturi <fventuri@mediaone.net>. He deserves
-a great deal of thanks for this wonderful piece of code!
-
-Needed tools
-============
-
-Support for this device is now a part of the standard Linux kernel. The
-driver source code file is drivers/net/sb1000.c. In addition to this
-you will need:
-
-1. The "cmconfig" program. This is a utility which supplements "ifconfig"
- to configure the cable modem and network interface (usually called "cm0");
-
-2. Several PPP scripts which live in /etc/ppp to make connecting via your
- cable modem easy.
-
- These utilities can be obtained from:
-
- http://www.jacksonville.net/~fventuri/
-
- in Franco's original source code distribution .tar.gz file. Support for
- the sb1000 driver can be found at:
-
- - http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://home.adelphia.net/~siglercm/sb1000.html
- - http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://linuxpower.cx/~cable/
-
- along with these utilities.
-
-3. The standard isapnp tools. These are necessary to configure your SB1000
- card at boot time (or afterwards by hand) since it's a PnP card.
-
- If you don't have these installed as a standard part of your Linux
- distribution, you can find them at:
-
- http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/
-
- or check your Linux distribution binary CD or their web site. For help with
- isapnp, pnpdump, or /etc/isapnp.conf, go to:
-
- http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/isapnpfaq.html
-
-Using the driver
-================
-
-To make the SB1000 card work, follow these steps:
-
-1. Run ``make config``, or ``make menuconfig``, or ``make xconfig``, whichever
- you prefer, in the top kernel tree directory to set up your kernel
- configuration. Make sure to say "Y" to "Prompt for development drivers"
- and to say "M" to the sb1000 driver. Also say "Y" or "M" to all the standard
- networking questions to get TCP/IP and PPP networking support.
-
-2. **BEFORE** you build the kernel, edit drivers/net/sb1000.c. Make sure
- to redefine the value of READ_DATA_PORT to match the I/O address used
- by isapnp to access your PnP cards. This is the value of READPORT in
- /etc/isapnp.conf or given by the output of pnpdump.
-
-3. Build and install the kernel and modules as usual.
-
-4. Boot your new kernel following the usual procedures.
-
-5. Set up to configure the new SB1000 PnP card by capturing the output
- of "pnpdump" to a file and editing this file to set the correct I/O ports,
- IRQ, and DMA settings for all your PnP cards. Make sure none of the settings
- conflict with one another. Then test this configuration by running the
- "isapnp" command with your new config file as the input. Check for
- errors and fix as necessary. (As an aside, I use I/O ports 0x110 and
- 0x310 and IRQ 11 for my SB1000 card and these work well for me. YMMV.)
- Then save the finished config file as /etc/isapnp.conf for proper
- configuration on subsequent reboots.
-
-6. Download the original file sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz from Franco's site or one of
- the others referenced above. As root, unpack it into a temporary directory
- and do a ``make cmconfig`` and then ``install -c cmconfig /usr/local/sbin``.
- Don't do ``make install`` because it expects to find all the utilities built
- and ready for installation, not just cmconfig.
-
-7. As root, copy all the files under the ppp/ subdirectory in Franco's
- tar file into /etc/ppp, being careful not to overwrite any files that are
- already in there. Then modify ppp@gi-on to set the correct login name,
- phone number, and frequency for the cable modem. Also edit pap-secrets
- to specify your login name and password and any site-specific information
- you need.
-
-8. Be sure to modify /etc/ppp/firewall to use ipchains instead of
- the older ipfwadm commands from the 2.0.x kernels. There's a neat utility to
- convert ipfwadm commands to ipchains commands:
-
- http://users.dhp.com/~whisper/ipfwadm2ipchains/
-
- You may also wish to modify the firewall script to implement a different
- firewalling scheme.
-
-9. Start the PPP connection via the script /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on. You must be
- root to do this. It's better to use a utility like sudo to execute
- frequently used commands like this with root permissions if possible. If you
- connect successfully the cable modem interface will come up and you'll see a
- driver message like this at the console::
-
- cm0: sb1000 at (0x110,0x310), csn 1, S/N 0x2a0d16d8, IRQ 11.
- sb1000.c:v1.1.2 6/01/98 (fventuri@mediaone.net)
-
- The "ifconfig" command should show two new interfaces, ppp0 and cm0.
-
- The command "cmconfig cm0" will give you information about the cable modem
- interface.
-
-10. Try pinging a site via ``ping -c 5 www.yahoo.com``, for example. You should
- see packets received.
-
-11. If you can't get site names (like www.yahoo.com) to resolve into
- IP addresses (like 204.71.200.67), be sure your /etc/resolv.conf file
- has no syntax errors and has the right nameserver IP addresses in it.
- If this doesn't help, try something like ``ping -c 5 204.71.200.67`` to
- see if the networking is running but the DNS resolution is where the
- problem lies.
-
-12. If you still have problems, go to the support web sites mentioned above
- and read the information and documentation there.
-
-Common problems
-===============
-
-1. Packets go out on the ppp0 interface but don't come back on the cm0
- interface. It looks like I'm connected but I can't even ping any
- numerical IP addresses. (This happens predominantly on Debian systems due
- to a default boot-time configuration script.)
-
-Solution
- As root ``echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/cm0/rp_filter`` so it
- can share the same IP address as the ppp0 interface. Note that this
- command should probably be added to the /etc/ppp/cablemodem script
- *right*between* the "/sbin/ifconfig" and "/sbin/cmconfig" commands.
- You may need to do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ppp0/rp_filter as well.
- If you do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter on each reboot
- (in rc.local or some such) then any interfaces can share the same IP
- addresses.
-
-2. I get "unresolved symbol" error messages on executing ``insmod sb1000.o``.
-
-Solution
- You probably have a non-matching kernel source tree and
- /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm header files. Make sure you
- install the correct versions of the header files in these two directories.
- Then rebuild and reinstall the kernel.
-
-3. When isapnp runs it reports an error, and my SB1000 card isn't working.
-
-Solution
- There's a problem with later versions of isapnp using the "(CHECK)"
- option in the lines that allocate the two I/O addresses for the SB1000 card.
- This first popped up on RH 6.0. Delete "(CHECK)" for the SB1000 I/O addresses.
- Make sure they don't conflict with any other pieces of hardware first! Then
- rerun isapnp and go from there.
-
-4. I can't execute the /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on file.
-
-Solution
- As root do ``chmod ug+x /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on``.
-
-5. The firewall script isn't working (with 2.2.x and higher kernels).
-
-Solution
- Use the ipfwadm2ipchains script referenced above to convert the
- /etc/ppp/firewall script from the deprecated ipfwadm commands to ipchains.
-
-6. I'm getting *tons* of firewall deny messages in the /var/kern.log,
- /var/messages, and/or /var/syslog files, and they're filling up my /var
- partition!!!
-
-Solution
- First, tell your ISP that you're receiving DoS (Denial of Service)
- and/or portscanning (UDP connection attempts) attacks! Look over the deny
- messages to figure out what the attack is and where it's coming from. Next,
- edit /etc/ppp/cablemodem and make sure the ",nobroadcast" option is turned on
- to the "cmconfig" command (uncomment that line). If you're not receiving these
- denied packets on your broadcast interface (IP address xxx.yyy.zzz.255
- typically), then someone is attacking your machine in particular. Be careful
- out there....
-
-7. Everything seems to work fine but my computer locks up after a while
- (and typically during a lengthy download through the cable modem)!
-
-Solution
- You may need to add a short delay in the driver to 'slow down' the
- SURFboard because your PC might not be able to keep up with the transfer rate
- of the SB1000. To do this, it's probably best to download Franco's
- sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz archive and build and install sb1000.o manually. You'll
- want to edit the 'Makefile' and look for the 'SB1000_DELAY'
- define. Uncomment those 'CFLAGS' lines (and comment out the default ones)
- and try setting the delay to something like 60 microseconds with:
- '-DSB1000_DELAY=60'. Then do ``make`` and as root ``make install`` and try
- it out. If it still doesn't work or you like playing with the driver, you may
- try other numbers. Remember though that the higher the delay, the slower the
- driver (which slows down the rest of the PC too when it is actively
- used). Thanks to Ed Daiga for this tip!
-
-Credits

-This README came from Franco Venturi's original README file which is
-still supplied with his driver .tar.gz archive. I and all other sb1000 users
-owe Franco a tremendous "Thank you!" Additional thanks goes to Carl Patten
-and Ralph Bonnell who are now managing the Linux SB1000 web site, and to

+=====================================================================
+Linux kernel driver for Huawei Ethernet Device Driver (hinic3) family
+=====================================================================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The hinic3 is a network interface card (NIC) for Data Center. It supports
+a range of link-speed devices (10GE, 25GE, 100GE, etc.). The hinic3
+devices can have multiple physical forms: LOM (Lan on Motherboard) NIC,
+PCIe standard NIC, OCP (Open Compute Project) NIC, etc.
+
+The hinic3 driver supports the following features:
+- IPv4/IPv6 TCP/UDP checksum offload
+- TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload), LRO (Large Receive Offload)
+- RSS (Receive Side Scaling)
+- MSI-X interrupt aggregation configuration and interrupt adaptation.
+- SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization).

+19e5:0222 - hinic3 PF/PPF
+19e5:375F - hinic3 VF
+
+Prime Physical Function (PPF) is responsible for the management of the
+whole NIC card. For example, clock synchronization between the NIC and
+the host. Any PF may serve as a PPF. The PPF is selected dynamically.

+======================== ================================================
+
+Management Interface
+====================
+
+Asynchronous Event Queue (AEQ)
+------------------------------
+
+AEQ receives high priority events from the HW over a descriptor queue.
+Every descriptor is a fixed size of 64 bytes. AEQ can receive solicited or
+unsolicited events. Every device, VF or PF, can have up to 4 AEQs.
+Every AEQ is associated to a dedicated IRQ. AEQ can receive multiple types
+of events, but in practice the hinic3 driver ignores all events except for
+2 mailbox related events.
+
+Mailbox
+-------
+
+Mailbox is a communication mechanism between the hinic3 driver and the HW.
+Each device has an independent mailbox. Driver can use the mailbox to send
+requests to management. Driver receives mailbox messages, such as responses
+to requests, over the AEQ (using event HINIC3_AEQ_FOR_MBOX). Due to the
+limited size of mailbox data register, mailbox messages are sent
+segment-by-segment.
+
+Every device can use its mailbox to post request to firmware. The mailbox
+can also be used to post requests and responses between the PF and its VFs.
+
+Completion Event Queue (CEQ)
+----------------------------
+
+The implementation of CEQ is the same as AEQ. It receives completion events
+from HW over a fixed size descriptor of 32 bits. Every device can have up
+to 32 CEQs. Every CEQ has a dedicated IRQ. CEQ only receives solicited
+events that are responses to requests from the driver. CEQ can receive
+multiple types of events, but in practice the hinic3 driver ignores all
+events except for HINIC3_CMDQ that represents completion of previously
+posted commands on a cmdq.
+
+Command Queue (cmdq)
+--------------------
+
+Every cmdq has a dedicated work queue on which commands are posted.
+Commands on the work queue are fixed size descriptor of size 64 bytes.
+Completion of a command will be indicated using ctrl bits in the
+descriptor that carried the command. Notification of command completions
+will also be provided via event on CEQ. Every device has 4 command queues
+that are initialized as a set (called cmdqs), each with its own type.
+Hinic3 driver only uses type HINIC3_CMDQ_SYNC.
+
+Work Queues(WQ)
+---------------
+
+Work queues are logical arrays of fixed size WQEs. The array may be spread
+over multiple non-contiguous pages using indirection table. Work queues are
+used by I/O queues and command queues.
+
+Global function ID
+------------------
+
+Every function, PF or VF, has a unique ordinal identification within the device.
+Many management commands (mbox or cmdq) contain this ID so HW can apply the
+command effect to the right function.
+
+PF is allowed to post management commands to a subordinate VF by specifying the
+VFs ID. A VF must provide its own ID. Anti-spoofing in the HW will cause
+command from a VF to fail if it contains the wrong ID.

+RVU Representors
+================
+
+RVU representor driver adds support for creation of representor devices for
+RVU PFs' VFs in the system. Representor devices are created when user enables
+the switchdev mode.
+Switchdev mode can be enabled either before or after setting up SRIOV numVFs.
+All representor devices share a single NIXLF but each has a dedicated Rx/Tx
+queues. RVU PF representor driver registers a separate netdev for each
+Rx/Tx queue pair.
+
+Current HW does not support built-in switch which can do L2 learning and
+forwarding packets between representee and representor. Hence, packet path
+between representee and it's representor is achieved by setting up appropriate
+NPC MCAM filters.
+Transmit packets matching these filters will be loopbacked through hardware
+loopback channel/interface (i.e, instead of sending them out of MAC interface).
+Which will again match the installed filters and will be forwarded.
+This way representee => representor and representor => representee packet
+path is achieved. These rules get installed when representors are created
+and gets active/deactivate based on the representor/representee interface state.
+
+Usage example:
+
+ - Change device to switchdev mode::
+
+ # devlink dev eswitch set pci/0002:1c:00.0 mode switchdev
+
+ - List of representor devices on the system::
+
+ # ip link show

+Firmware Versions
+-----------------
+
+fbnic has three components stored on the flash which are provided in one PLDM
+image:
+
+1. fw - The control firmware used to view and modify firmware settings, request
+ firmware actions, and retrieve firmware counters outside of the data path.
+ This is the firmware which fbnic_fw.c interacts with.
+2. bootloader - The firmware which validate firmware security and control basic
+ operations including loading and updating the firmware. This is also known
+ as the cmrt firmware.
+3. undi - This is the UEFI driver which is based on the Linux driver.
+
+fbnic stores two copies of these three components on flash. This allows fbnic
+to fall back to an older version of firmware automatically in case firmware
+fails to boot. Version information for both is provided as running and stored.
+The undi is only provided in stored as it is not actively running once the Linux
+driver takes over.
+
+devlink dev info provides version information for all three components. In
+addition to the version the hg commit hash of the build is included as a
+separate entry.
+
+Upgrading Firmware
+------------------
+
+fbnic supports updating firmware using signed PLDM images with devlink dev
+flash. PLDM images are written into the flash. Flashing does not interrupt
+the operation of the device.
+
+On host boot the latest UEFI driver is always used, no explicit activation
+is required. Firmware activation is required to run new control firmware. cmrt
+firmware can only be activated by power cycling the NIC.

-===========================
-The Spidernet Device Driver
-===========================
-
-Written by Linas Vepstas <linas@austin.ibm.com>
-
-Version of 7 June 2007
-
-Abstract
-========
-This document sketches the structure of portions of the spidernet
-device driver in the Linux kernel tree. The spidernet is a gigabit
-ethernet device built into the Toshiba southbridge commonly used
-in the SONY Playstation 3 and the IBM QS20 Cell blade.
-
-The Structure of the RX Ring.
-=============================
-The receive (RX) ring is a circular linked list of RX descriptors,
-together with three pointers into the ring that are used to manage its
-contents.
-
-The elements of the ring are called "descriptors" or "descrs"; they
-describe the received data. This includes a pointer to a buffer
-containing the received data, the buffer size, and various status bits.
-
-There are three primary states that a descriptor can be in: "empty",
-"full" and "not-in-use". An "empty" or "ready" descriptor is ready
-to receive data from the hardware. A "full" descriptor has data in it,
-and is waiting to be emptied and processed by the OS. A "not-in-use"
-descriptor is neither empty or full; it is simply not ready. It may
-not even have a data buffer in it, or is otherwise unusable.
-
-During normal operation, on device startup, the OS (specifically, the
-spidernet device driver) allocates a set of RX descriptors and RX
-buffers. These are all marked "empty", ready to receive data. This
-ring is handed off to the hardware, which sequentially fills in the
-buffers, and marks them "full". The OS follows up, taking the full
-buffers, processing them, and re-marking them empty.
-
-This filling and emptying is managed by three pointers, the "head"
-and "tail" pointers, managed by the OS, and a hardware current
-descriptor pointer (GDACTDPA). The GDACTDPA points at the descr
-currently being filled. When this descr is filled, the hardware
-marks it full, and advances the GDACTDPA by one. Thus, when there is
-flowing RX traffic, every descr behind it should be marked "full",
-and everything in front of it should be "empty". If the hardware
-discovers that the current descr is not empty, it will signal an
-interrupt, and halt processing.
-
-The tail pointer tails or trails the hardware pointer. When the
-hardware is ahead, the tail pointer will be pointing at a "full"
-descr. The OS will process this descr, and then mark it "not-in-use",
-and advance the tail pointer. Thus, when there is flowing RX traffic,
-all of the descrs in front of the tail pointer should be "full", and
-all of those behind it should be "not-in-use". When RX traffic is not
-flowing, then the tail pointer can catch up to the hardware pointer.
-The OS will then note that the current tail is "empty", and halt
-processing.
-
-The head pointer (somewhat mis-named) follows after the tail pointer.
-When traffic is flowing, then the head pointer will be pointing at
-a "not-in-use" descr. The OS will perform various housekeeping duties
-on this descr. This includes allocating a new data buffer and
-dma-mapping it so as to make it visible to the hardware. The OS will
-then mark the descr as "empty", ready to receive data. Thus, when there
-is flowing RX traffic, everything in front of the head pointer should
-be "not-in-use", and everything behind it should be "empty". If no
-RX traffic is flowing, then the head pointer can catch up to the tail
-pointer, at which point the OS will notice that the head descr is
-"empty", and it will halt processing.
-
-Thus, in an idle system, the GDACTDPA, tail and head pointers will
-all be pointing at the same descr, which should be "empty". All of the
-other descrs in the ring should be "empty" as well.
-
-The show_rx_chain() routine will print out the locations of the
-GDACTDPA, tail and head pointers. It will also summarize the contents
-of the ring, starting at the tail pointer, and listing the status
-of the descrs that follow.
-
-A typical example of the output, for a nearly idle system, might be::
-
- net eth1: Total number of descrs=256
- net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=20
- net eth1: Chain head is at 20
- net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 21
- net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800101
- net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 22
- net eth1: Last 255 descrs with stat=xa0800000
-
-In the above, the hardware has filled in one descr, number 20. Both
-head and tail are pointing at 20, because it has not yet been emptied.
-Meanwhile, hw is pointing at 21, which is free.
-
-The "Have nnn decrs" refers to the descr starting at the tail: in this
-case, nnn=1 descr, starting at descr 20. The "Last nnn descrs" refers
-to all of the rest of the descrs, from the last status change. The "nnn"
-is a count of how many descrs have exactly the same status.
-
-The status x4... corresponds to "full" and status xa... corresponds
-to "empty". The actual value printed is RXCOMST_A.
-
-In the device driver source code, a different set of names are
-used for these same concepts, so that::
-
- "empty" == SPIDER_NET_DESCR_CARDOWNED == 0xa
- "full" == SPIDER_NET_DESCR_FRAME_END == 0x4
- "not in use" == SPIDER_NET_DESCR_NOT_IN_USE == 0xf
-
-
-The RX RAM full bug/feature
-===========================
-
-As long as the OS can empty out the RX buffers at a rate faster than
-the hardware can fill them, there is no problem. If, for some reason,
-the OS fails to empty the RX ring fast enough, the hardware GDACTDPA
-pointer will catch up to the head, notice the not-empty condition,
-ad stop. However, RX packets may still continue arriving on the wire.
-The spidernet chip can save some limited number of these in local RAM.
-When this local ram fills up, the spider chip will issue an interrupt
-indicating this (GHIINT0STS will show ERRINT, and the GRMFLLINT bit
-will be set in GHIINT1STS). When the RX ram full condition occurs,
-a certain bug/feature is triggered that has to be specially handled.
-This section describes the special handling for this condition.
-
-When the OS finally has a chance to run, it will empty out the RX ring.
-In particular, it will clear the descriptor on which the hardware had
-stopped. However, once the hardware has decided that a certain
-descriptor is invalid, it will not restart at that descriptor; instead
-it will restart at the next descr. This potentially will lead to a
-deadlock condition, as the tail pointer will be pointing at this descr,
-which, from the OS point of view, is empty; the OS will be waiting for
-this descr to be filled. However, the hardware has skipped this descr,
-and is filling the next descrs. Since the OS doesn't see this, there
-is a potential deadlock, with the OS waiting for one descr to fill,
-while the hardware is waiting for a different set of descrs to become
-empty.
-
-A call to show_rx_chain() at this point indicates the nature of the
-problem. A typical print when the network is hung shows the following::
-
- net eth1: Spider RX RAM full, incoming packets might be discarded!
- net eth1: Total number of descrs=256
- net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=255
- net eth1: Chain head is at 255
- net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 0
- net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000
- net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 1
- net eth1: Have 127 descrs with stat=x40800101
- net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800001
- net eth1: Have 126 descrs with stat=x40800101
- net eth1: Last 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000
-
-Both the tail and head pointers are pointing at descr 255, which is
-marked xa... which is "empty". Thus, from the OS point of view, there
-is nothing to be done. In particular, there is the implicit assumption
-that everything in front of the "empty" descr must surely also be empty,
-as explained in the last section. The OS is waiting for descr 255 to
-become non-empty, which, in this case, will never happen.
-
-The HW pointer is at descr 0. This descr is marked 0x4.. or "full".
-Since its already full, the hardware can do nothing more, and thus has
-halted processing. Notice that descrs 0 through 254 are all marked
-"full", while descr 254 and 255 are empty. (The "Last 1 descrs" is
-descr 254, since tail was at 255.) Thus, the system is deadlocked,
-and there can be no forward progress; the OS thinks there's nothing
-to do, and the hardware has nowhere to put incoming data.
-
-This bug/feature is worked around with the spider_net_resync_head_ptr()
-routine. When the driver receives RX interrupts, but an examination
-of the RX chain seems to show it is empty, then it is probable that
-the hardware has skipped a descr or two (sometimes dozens under heavy
-network conditions). The spider_net_resync_head_ptr() subroutine will
-search the ring for the next full descr, and the driver will resume
-operations there. Since this will leave "holes" in the ring, there
-is also a spider_net_resync_tail_ptr() that will skip over such holes.
-
-As of this writing, the spider_net_resync() strategy seems to work very
-well, even under heavy network loads.
-
-
-The TX ring
-===========
-The TX ring uses a low-watermark interrupt scheme to make sure that
-the TX queue is appropriately serviced for large packet sizes.
-
-For packet sizes greater than about 1KBytes, the kernel can fill
-the TX ring quicker than the device can drain it. Once the ring
-is full, the netdev is stopped. When there is room in the ring,
-the netdev needs to be reawakened, so that more TX packets are placed
-in the ring. The hardware can empty the ring about four times per jiffy,
-so its not appropriate to wait for the poll routine to refill, since
-the poll routine runs only once per jiffy. The low-watermark mechanism
-marks a descr about 1/4th of the way from the bottom of the queue, so
-that an interrupt is generated when the descr is processed. This
-interrupt wakes up the netdev, which can then refill the queue.
-For large packets, this mechanism generates a relatively small number
-of interrupts, about 1K/sec. For smaller packets, this will drop to zero
-interrupts, as the hardware can empty the queue faster than the kernel
-can fill it.
