[PATCH v7 01/12] net/nfp: move app specific attributes to own struct

[Chaoyong He]

The NFP Card can load different firmware applications. Currently
only the CoreNIC application is supported. This commit makes
needed infrastructure changes in order to support other firmware
applications too.

Clearer separation is made between the PF device and any application
specific concepts. The PF struct is now generic regardless of the
application loaded. A new struct is also made for the CoreNIC
application. Future additions to support other applications should
also add an applications specific struct.

App (or firmware application) is a little confusing, why not just call 
it FW?

Same for code variable/struct names, and other patches.

We decided to not just use "FW", as this is an overloaded term for the NFP. 
There is also the lower-level management FW, which is flashed to the card and
 is mostly separate to the application firmware, although they do interact with
 each other.
The application firmware is the software (application) that runs on the card's flow
 processors, is loaded during run time, and determines the behavior of the card. 
To avoid confusion with the different types of firmware we decided to call this 
the app_firmware - this is also similar to what is happening in the nfp kernel driver.

To avoid further confuse, we will change the places where just use "app" to be "app_fw" instead.

[PATCH v7 02/12] net/nfp: simplify initialization and remove dead code

[Chaoyong He]

Calling nfp_net_init() is only done for the corenic firmware flavor
and it is guaranteed to always be called from the primary process,
so the explicit check for RTE_PROC_PRIMARY can be dropped.

The calling graph of nfp_net_init() already guaranteed the free of
resources when it fail, so remove the necessary free logics inside it.

While at it remove the unused member is_phyport from struct nfp_net_hw.

If you are planning to add more FW app support, what do you think to add 
another abstraction for it? Something like

struct fw_ops {
	*init()
	*secondary_init()
	...
}

	...
	ret = fw_ops[app_id].secondary_init(...);
	...

It does make sense if we can translate this switch statement into an array of function pointers.
But there are some problems:
1. The `app_id` is returned by the firmware, so we can't simply regard it as an index of the array.
     There should import some relation map logic. And we can't find a suitable upper limit for the
     array, so maybe we will always update it as we add more and more firmware apps in the future. 
     We also have to check the value of `fw_ops[app_id].secondary_init` before we invoke it.
2. Different firmware app may need different variables to initialize, which make it difficult to find a
     suitable function prototype when we declare the function pointer.

So the final logics seems will more complicated and maybe we can keep use the logics now?

Got it, above mentioned issues looks valid, so it is OK to keep as it is.

[PATCH v7 04/12] net/nfp: add initial flower firmware support

[Chaoyong He]

Adds the basic probing infrastructure to support the flower firmware.
This firmware is geared towards offloading OVS and can generally be
found in /lib/firmware/netronome/flower. It is also used by the NFP
kernel driver when OVS offload with TC is desired.

Adds the basic infrastructure needed by the flower firmware to operate.
The firmware requires threads to service both the PF vNIC and the ctrl
vNIC. The PF is responsible for handling any fallback traffic and the
ctrl vNIC is used to communicate OVS flows and flow statistics to and
from the smartNIC. rte_services are used to facilitate this logic.

Adds the cpp service, used for some user tools.

'/lib/firmware/netronome/flower' FW is loaded (automatically ?) by 
kernel driver, right?
Is there anything related to the DPDK with the name/path of the FW?


And I wonder if these kind of information should be part of driver 
documentation?

Why this assignment is required? Driver shouldn't need to update this 
bus related data struct.

Following the framework's logic: 
function 'rte_pci_probe_one_driver()' in file drivers/bus/pci/pci_common.c

```
...
ret = dr->probe(dr, dev);    // here call our nfp_pf_pci_probe()
if (ret) {
...
} else {
        dev->device.driver = &dr->driver;
}

```

Here the framework will do the assignment.

But in our logic, if we won't add this assignment, we will run into a coredump:
```

```

Our nfp card use `control message` to exchange message between PMD and firmware when we use flower firmware.
The control message is in the form of pkt and we use a `ctrl vNIC` ehtdev as the agent to send and receive these pkts.
e.g., if we want to create representor port, the PMD must send the corresponding control message to firmware.
To be able to send and receive pkt, we must do some configure steps to this ethdev firstly.
But the framework has not do the assignment step at this moment.
And this is where the problem comes from.

Logically, if our probe process is successful, assignment again won't import any problem.
If our probe process failed, our logic will undo the assignment and the framework will go as its original logic.
So maybe we can keep the logic now?
Or there exist another way more standard?

I am not sure about PMD calling 'rte_eth_dev_configure()', this API is 
intended for application.

And even worse, not sure if it is allowed to call 
'rte_eth_dev_configure()' before driver probe completed successfully.

It looks to me assigning 'pci_dev->device.driver' within the PMD is hack 
to allow it run 'rte_eth_dev_configure()' before probe() completed.
Do you really need to call ''rte_eth_dev_configure()' to prepare ethdev 
for the 'control message' exchange? What exactly needs to be configured 
for this?

[PATCH v7 05/12] net/nfp: add flower PF setup and mempool init logic

[Chaoyong He]

Adds the vNIC initialization logic for the flower PF vNIC.  The flower
firmware exposes this vNIC for the purposes of fallback traffic in the
switchdev use-case. The logic of setting up this vNIC is similar to the
logic seen in nfp_net_init() and nfp_net_start().

Adds minimal dev_ops for this PF device. Because the device is being
exposed externally to DPDK it should also be configured using DPDK
helpers like rte_eth_configure(). For these helpers to work the flower
logic needs to implements a minimal set of dev_ops. The Rx and Tx
logic for this vNIC will be added in a subsequent commit.

OVS expects incoming packets coming into the OVS datapath to be
allocated from a mempool that contains objects of type "struct
dp_packet". For the PF handling the slowpath into OVS it should
use a mempool that is compatible with OVS. This commit adds the logic
to create the OVS compatible mempool. It adds certain OVS specific
structs to be able to instantiate the mempool.

What do you think to unify functions to get private data, instead of 
having a function for each FW, it can be possible to have single one?

At first, we use two macros for this, and Andrew advice change them to functions.
```
#define NFP_APP_PRIV_TO_APP_NIC(app_priv)\
	((struct nfp_app_nic *)app_priv)

#define NFP_APP_PRIV_TO_APP_FLOWER(app_priv)\
	((struct nfp_app_flower *)app_priv)
```
So your advice is we unify the functions into:
```
static inline struct nfp_app_nic *
nfp_app_priv_get(struct nfp_pf_dev *pf_dev)
{
	if (pf_dev == NULL)
		return NULL;
	else if (pf_dev->app_id == NFP_APP_CORE_NIC ||
                           pf_dev->app_id == NFP_APP_FLOWER_NIC)
		return pf_dev->app_priv;
              else
                           return NULL;
}
```
and convert the pointer type at where this function been called?

Since return pointer types are different, it should return "void *",

```
static inline void *
nfp_app_priv_get(struct nfp_pf_dev *pf_dev)
{
	if (pf_dev == NULL)
		return NULL;
	else if (pf_dev->app_id == NFP_APP_CORE_NIC ||
			pf_dev->app_id == NFP_APP_FLOWER_NIC)
		return pf_dev->app_priv;
	else
		return NULL;
}
```

And when assigning a pointer from "void *", no explicit cast is required.

```
struct nfp_app_flower *app_flower;

app_flower = nfp_app_priv_get(pf_dev);
```

I think this is better to have single function, instead of different 
helper function for each FW, but I would like to get @Andrew's comment too.


Btw, since 'nfp_app_nic*_priv_get' return 'NULL' now, should callers 
check for NULL, this may introduce too many checks, and if checks are 
not necessary, what is the benefit of the function against macro?

[PATCH v7 07/12] net/nfp: add flower ctrl VNIC related logics

[Chaoyong He]

Adds the setup/start logic for the ctrl vNIC. This vNIC is used by
the PMD and flower firmware as a communication channel between driver
and firmware. In the case of OVS it is also used to communicate flow
statistics from hardware to the driver.

A rte_eth device is not exposed to DPDK for this vNIC as it is strictly
used internally by flower logic. Rx and Tx logic will be added later for
this vNIC.

Because of the add of ctrl vNIC, a new PCItoCPPBar is needed. Modify the
related logics.

There is no log type 'RTE_LOG_ERROR', which cause build error, it should 
be 'ERR'.

ditto.

[PATCH v7 10/12] net/nfp: add flower representor framework

[Chaoyong He]

Adds the framework to support flower representors. The number of VF
representors are parsed from the command line. For physical port
representors the current logic aims to create a representor for
each physical port present on the hardware.

An eth_dev is created for each physical port and VF, and flower
firmware requires a MAC repr cmsg to be transmitted to firmware
with info about the number of physical ports configured.

Reify messages are sent to hardware for each physical port representor.
An rte_ring is also created per representor so that traffic can be
pushed and pulled to this interface.

To up and down the real device represented by a flower representor port
a port mod message is used to convey that info to the firmware. This
message will be used in the dev_ops callbacks of flower representors.

Each cmsg generated by the driver is prepended with a cmsg header.
This commit also adds the logic to fill in the header of cmsgs.

Also add the Rx and Tx path for flower representors. For Rx packets are
dequeued from the representor ring and passed to the eth_dev. For Tx
the first queue of the PF vNIC is used. Metadata about the representor
is added before the packet is sent down to firmware.

[PATCH v7 11/12] net/nfp: move rxtx function to header file

[Chaoyong He]

Flower makes use of the same Rx and Tx checksum logic as the normal PMD.
Expose it so that flower can make use of it.

[PATCH v7 12/12] net/nfp: add flower PF rxtx logic

[Chaoyong He]

Implements the flower Rx logic. Fallback packets are multiplexed to the
correct representor port based on the prepended metadata. The Rx poll
is set to run on the existing service infrastructure.

For Tx the existing NFP Tx logic is duplicated to keep the Tx two paths
distinct. Flower fallback also adds 8 bytes of metadata to the start of
the packet that has to be adjusted for in the Tx descriptor.

We have a lot of things in the pipeline that depends on this work and 
would be nice if we had the base patches in-tree.

Change is not minor, what do you think to update driver documentation 
and release notes for the update?
