1. Added module parameters sr_iov and probe_vf for controlling enablement of
SRIOV mode.
2. Increased default max num-qps, num-mpts and log_num_macs to accomodate
SRIOV mode
3. Added port_type_array as a module parameter to allow driver startup with
ports configured as desired.
In SRIOV mode, only ETH is supported, and this array is ignored; otherwise,
for the case where the FW supports both port types (ETH and IB), the
port_type_array parameter is used.
By default, the port_type_array is set to configure both ports as IB.
4. When running in sriov mode, the master needs to initialize the ICM eq table
to hold the eq's for itself and also for all the slaves.
5. mlx4_set_port_mask() now invoked from mlx4_init_hca, instead of in mlx4_dev_cap.
6. Introduced sriov VF (slave) device startup/teardown logic (mainly procedures
mlx4_init_slave, mlx4_slave_exit, mlx4_slave_cap, mlx4_slave_exit and flow
modifications in __mlx4_init_one, mlx4_init_hca, and mlx4_setup_hca).
VFs obtain their startup information from the PF (master) device via the
comm channel.
7. In SRIOV mode (both PF and VF), MSI_X must be enabled, or the driver
aborts loading the device.
8. Do not allow setting port type via sysfs when running in SRIOV mode.
9. mlx4_get_ownership: Currently, only one PF is supported by the driver.
If the HCA is burned with FW which enables more than one PF, only one
of the PFs is allowed to run. The first one up grabs a FW ownership
semaphone -- all other PFs will find that semaphore taken, and the
driver will not allow them to run.

When running in SRIOV mode, driver should not automatically start/stop
the mlx4_core upon sensing an HCA internal error -- doing this disables/enables
sriov, which will cause the hypervisor to hang if there are running VMs with
attached VFs.
In addition, on VMs the catas process should not run at all, since the HCA
error buffer is not available to VMs in the BARs.

In the previous implementation mtts are managed by:
1. order - log(mtt segments), 'mtt segment' groups several mtts together.
2. first_seg - segment location relative to mtt table.
In the current implementation:
1. order - log(mtts) rather than segments
2. offset - mtt index in mtt table
Note: The actual mtt allocation is made in segments but it is
transparent to callers.
Rational: The mtt resource holders are not interested on how the allocation
of mtt is done, but rather on how they will use it.

The resource tracker is used to track usage of HCA resources by the different
guests.
Virtual functions (VFs) are attached to guest operating systems but
resources are allocated from the same pool and are assigned to VFs. It is
essential that hostile/buggy guests not be able to affect the operation of
other VFs, possibly attached to other guest OSs since ConnectX firmware is not
tolerant to misuse of resources.
The resource tracker module associates each resource with a VF and maintains
state information for the allocated object. It also defines allowed state
transitions and enforces them.
Relationships between resources are also referred to. For example, CQs are
pointed to by QPs, so it is forbidden to destroy a CQ if a QP refers to it.
ICM memory is always accessible through the primary function and hence it is
allocated by the owner of the primary function.
When a guest dies, an FLR is generated for all the VFs it owns and all the
resources it used are freed.
The tracked resource types are: QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, MACs, RES_EQs,
and XRCDNs.

Passing async events to slaves:
In SRIOV mode, each slave creates its own async EQ, but only the master can
register directly with the FW to receive async events. Async events which
should be passed to slaves (such as a WQ_ACCESS_ERROR for a QP owned by a slave)
are generated at the slave by the master using the GEN_EQE FW command.
Wrapper functions: mlx4_MAP_EQ_wrapper
Only the master can map an EQ. The slave commands to map their EQs arrive
at the master via the comm channel. The master then invokes the wrapper
function to do the work (and enter the resource in the tracking database).
New events: COMM_CHANNEL and FLR
The COMM_CHANNEL event arrives only at the master, and signals that
a slave has posted a command on the comm channel.
The FLR event is generated by the FW when a guest operating a VF
unexpectedly goes down.

The following commands are added here:
1. QUERY_FUNC_CAP and its wrapper. This function is used by VFs when
they start up to receive configuration information from the PF, such
as resource quotas for this VF, which ports should be used (currently
two), what protocol is running on the port (currently Ethernet ONLY,
or port not active).
2. QUERY_PORT and its wrapper. Previously, this FW command was invoked directly
by the ETH driver (en_port.c) using mlx4_cmd_box. Virtualization is now
required here (the VF's MAC address must be substituted for the PFs
MAC address returned by the FW). We changed the invocation
in the ETH driver to use mlx4_QUERY_PORT, and added the wrapper.
3. QUERY_HCA. Used by the VF to determine how the HCA was initialized.
For now, we need only the multicast table member entry size
(log2_mc_table_entry_sz, in the ConnectX PRM). No wrapper is needed
here, because the data may be passed as is to the VF without modification).
In this command, we have added a GLOBAL_CAPS field for passing required
configuration information from FW to a VF (this field is to allow safely
adding new SRIOV capabilities which require support in VF drivers, too).
Bits will set here by FW in response to PF-driver configuration commands which
will activate as yet undefined new SRIOV features. The VF will test to see that
all required capabilities indicated by this field are supported (i.e., if a bit
is set and the VF driver does not recognize that bit, it must abort
its initialization). Currently, no bits are set.
4. Added a CLOSE_PORT wrapper. The PF context needs to keep track of how many VF contexts
have the port open. The PF context will not actually issue the FW close port command
until the last port user issues a CLOSE_PORT request.

When SRIOV is enabled, pf and vfs communicate via shared comm channel.
The vf gets its side of the comm channel via a VF BAR.
Each VF (slave) creates its vHCR (virtual HCA Command Register),
Its DMA address is passed to the PF (master) using Communication Channel Register.
The same Register is used to notify the master of commands posted by the
slaves and for the master to pass events to the slaves, such as command completions
and asynchronous events.
The vHCR format is identical to the HCR format, except for the 'go' and 't' bits,
which are reserved in the vHCR. Posting commands to the vHCR is identical to
the way it is done with the HCR, albeit that the function/PF token fields are
used instead of the HCR go bit.
Specifically:
- When the function prepares a new command in the vHCR, it issues the Post_vHCR_cmd
communication channel command and toggles the value of the function token;
when PF token has an equal value, the command has been accepted and a new command may be posted.
- When the PF detects a Post_vHCR_cmd command, it concludes that a new command is available in the vHCR;
after processing the command, the PF toggles the PF token to match the function token.
When the 'e' bit is not set, the completion of a Post_vHCR_cmd command also indicates
the completion the vHCR command. If, however, the 'e' bit is set, the completion of a
Post_vHCR_cmd command only indicates that the vHCR command has been accepted for execution by the PF.
Function commands are processed by the PF as follows:
-DMA (using the ACCESS_MEM command) the vHCR image into a shadow buffer.
-Validate that the opcode is non-privileged, and that the opcode- and input-modifiers are legal.
-DMA the in-box (if required) into a shadow buffer.
-Validate the command:
o Resource ranges (e.g., QP ranges).
o Partition key.
o Ranges of referenced resources (e.g., CQs within QP contexts).
-If the 'e' bit is set
o complete the Post_vHCR_cmd command
-Execute the command on the HCR.
-DMA the results to the vHCR out-box (if required).
-If the 'e' bit is set
o Indicate command completion by generating a completion event using the GEN_EQE command
-Otherwise
o DMA the command status to the vHCR
o Complete the Post_vHCR_cmd command

This extension can be used to simulate special link layer

calculation base is changed to delay a packet based on the original

packet_overhead can be used to simulate a link layer header compression
scheme (e.g. set packet_overhead to -20) or with a positive
packet_overhead value an additional MAC header can be simulated. It is
also possible to "replace" the 14 byte Ethernet header with something
else.
cell_size and cell_overhead can be used to simulate link layer schemes,
based on cells, like some TDMA schemes. Another application area are MAC
schemes using a link layer fragmentation with a (small) header each.
Cell size is the maximum amount of data bytes within one cell. Cell
overhead is an additional variable to change the per-cell-overhead
(e.g. 5 byte header per fragment).

cell overhead 5 byte):

After a guest is live migrated, the xen-netfront driver emits a gratuitous
ARP message, so that networking hardware on the target host's subnet can
take notice, and public routing to the guest is re-established. However,
if the packet appears on the backend interface before the backend is added
to the target host's bridge, the packet is lost, and the migrated guest's
peers become unable to talk to the guest.
A sufficient two-parts condition to prevent the above is:
(1) ensure that the backend only moves to Connected xenbus state after its
hotplug scripts completed, ie. the netback interface got added to the
bridge; and
(2) ensure the frontend only queues the gARP when it sees the backend move
to Connected.
These two together provide complete ordering. Sub-condition (1) is already
satisfied by commit f942dc2552 in Linus' tree, based on commit
6b0b80ca7165 from [1].
In general, the full condition is sufficient, not necessary, because,
according to [2], live migration has been working for a long time without
satisfying sub-condition (2). However, after 6b0b80ca7165 was backported
to the RHEL-5 host to ensure (1), (2) still proved necessary in the RHEL-6
guest. This patch intends to provide (2) for upstream.

There is no obvious reason to add a default multicast route for loopback
devices, otherwise there would be a route entry whose dst.error set to
-ENETUNREACH that would blocking all multicast packets.
====================
[ more detailed explanation ]
The problem is that the resulting routing table depends on the sequence
of interface's initialization and in some situation, that would block all
muticast packets. Suppose there are two interfaces on my computer
(lo and eth0), if we initailize 'lo' before 'eth0', the resuting routing
table(for multicast) would be
# ip -6 route show | grep ff00::
unreachable ff00::/8 dev lo metric 256 error -101
ff00::/8 dev eth0 metric 256
When sending multicasting packets, routing subsystem will return the first
route entry which with a error set to -101(ENETUNREACH).
I know the kernel will set the default ipv6 address for 'lo' when it is up
and won't set the default multicast route for it, but there is no reason to
stop 'init' program from setting address for 'lo', and that is exactly what
systemd did.
I am sure there is something wrong with kernel or systemd, currently I preferred
kernel caused this problem.

The stations always chooses 1Mbps for all trasmitting frames,
whenever the AP is configured to lock the supported rates.
As the max phy rate is always set with the 4th from highest phy rate,
this assumption might be wrong if we have less than that. Fix that.

wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() returns -ERESTARTSYS if
interrupted so completion_rc needs to be signed. The current code
probably returns -ETIMEDOUT if we hit this situation, but after this
patch is applied it will return -ERESTARTSYS.

Check the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ flag from mac80211, then decide how to
set the TX_CMD_FLG_SEQ_CTL_MSK bit. Setting the wrong bit in BAR frame whill
make the firmware to increment the sequence number which is incorrect and
cause unknown behavior.
