- Ask the firmware for the number of frames that can be stuffed in one
work request.
- Modify mp_ring to increase the likelihood of tx coalescing when there
are just one or two threads that are doing most of the tx. Add teeth
to the abdication mechanism by pushing the consumer lock into mp_ring.
This reduces the likelihood that a consumer will get stuck with all
the work even though it is above its budget.
- Add support for coalesced tx WR to the VF driver. This, with the
changes above, results in a 7x improvement in the tx pps of the VF
driver for some common cases. The firmware vets the L2 headers
submitted by the VF driver and it's a big win if the checks are
performed for a batch of packets and not each one individually.

These filters reside in the card's memory instead of its TCAM and can be
configured via a new "hashfilter" subcommand in cxgbetool. Hash and
normal TCAM filters can be used together. The hardware does an
exact-match of packet fields for hash filters, unlike the masked match
performed for TCAM filters. Any T5/T6 card with memory can support at
least half a million hash filters. The sample config file with the
driver configures 512K of these, it is possible to double this to 1
million+ in some cases.
The chip does an exact-match of fields of incoming datagrams with hash
filters and performs the action configured for the filter if it matches.
The fields to match are specified in a "filter mask" in the firmware
config file. The filter mask always includes the 5-tuple (sip, dip,
sport, dport, ipproto). It can, optionally, also include any subset of
the filter mode (see filterMode and filterMask in the firmware config
file).
For example:
filterMode = fragmentation, mpshittype, protocol, vlan, port, fcoe
filterMask = protocol, port, vlan
Exact values of the 5-tuple, the physical port, and VLAN tag would have
to be provided while setting up a hash filter with the chip
configuration above.
Hash filters support all actions supported by TCAM filters. A packet
that hits a hash filter can be dropped, let through (with optional
steering to a specific queue or RSS region), switched out of another
port (with optional L2 rewrite of DMAC, SMAC, VLAN tag), or get NAT'ed.
(Support for some of these will show up in the driver in a follow-up
commit very shortly).

The cxgbev/cxlv driver supports Virtual Function devices for Chelsio
T4 and T4 adapters. The VF devices share most of their code with the
existing PF4 driver (cxgbe/cxl) and as such the VF device driver
currently depends on the PF4 driver.
Similar to the cxgbe/cxl drivers, the VF driver includes a t4vf/t5vf
PCI device driver that attaches to the VF device. It then creates
child cxgbev/cxlv devices representing ports assigned to the VF.
By default, the PF driver assigns a single port to each VF.
t4vf_hw.c contains VF-specific routines from the shared code used to
fetch VF-specific parameters from the firmware.
t4_vf.c contains the VF-specific PCI device driver and includes its
own attach routine.
VF devices are required to use a different firmware request when
transmitting packets (which in turn requires a different CPL message
to encapsulate messages). This alternate firmware request does not
permit chaining multiple packets in a single message, so each packet
results in a firmware request. In addition, the different CPL message
requires more detailed information when enabling hardware checksums,
so parse_pkt() on VF devices must examine L2 and L3 headers for all
packets (not just TSO packets) for VF devices. Finally, L2 checksums
on non-UDP/non-TCP packets do not work reliably (the firmware trashes
the IPv4 fragment field), so IPv4 checksums for such packets are
calculated in software.
Most of the other changes in the non-VF-specific code are to expose
various variables and functions private to the PF driver so that they
can be used by the VF driver.
Note that a limited subset of cxgbetool functions are supported on VF
devices including register dumps, scheduler classes, and clearing of
statistics. In addition, TOE is not supported on VF devices, only for
the PF interfaces.
