ixl: fix multicast filters handling

Summary:
Hardware supports up to 128 entries of multicast filters. If there is more,
filters should be removed and multicast promiscuous enabled. In case
user deletes the multicast address and overall count is less than 128,
multicast promiscuous mode should be disabled and all the filters
reapplied into the HW.

Currently driver only enables multicast promiscuous mode and deletes
the entries without any information to the user and it's not capable of
reapplying the filters once count is less than 128.

Address that by:

1. Add logging
2. Add logic in case multicast promiscuous is enabled and user lowers
the number of multicast entries to <128.
3. Fix a bug where driver removes different MAC entries along with the one
that's being deleted by the user.

The hw and ifp of a vsi will be NULL if such ixl_vsi is allocated

if vsi->hw is NULL, before adding IXL_VLAN_ANY filter (which
is already in a VF vsi's filter list) and VLAN filters.

iflib: expose the Rx mbuf buffer size to drivers

From Jake:
iflib_fl_setup calculates a suitable buffer size for the Rx mbufs based
on the isc_max_frame_size value that drivers setup. This calculation is
repeated by drivers when programming their hardware with the size of
each Rx buffer.

This can lead to a mismatch where the iflib mbuf size is different from
the expected size of the buffer as programmed by the hardware. This can
lead to unexpected results.

If iflib ever wants to support mbuf sizes larger than one page, every
driver must be updated to account for the new possible buffer sizes.

Fix this by calculating the mbuf size prior to calling IFDI_INIT, and
adding the iflib_get_rx_mbuf_sz function which will expose this value to
drivers, so that they do not repeat the same calculation.

- Stop iflib(4) from leaking MSI messages on detachment by calling
bus_teardown_intr(9) before pci_release_msi(9).
- Ensure that iflib(4) and associated drivers pass correct RIDs to
bus_release_resource(9) by obtaining the RIDs via rman_get_rid(9)
on the corresponding resources instead of using the RIDs initially
passed to bus_alloc_resource_any(9) as the latter function may
change those RIDs. Solely em(4) for the ioport resource (but not
others) and bnxt(4) were using the correct RIDs by caching the ones
returned by bus_alloc_resource_any(9).
- Change the logic of iflib_msix_init() around to only map the MSI-X
BAR if MSI-X is actually supported, i. e. pci_msix_count(9) returns
> 0. Otherwise the "Unable to map MSIX table " message triggers for
devices that simply don't support MSI-X and the user may think that
something is wrong while in fact everything works as expected.
- Put some (mostly redundant) debug messages emitted by iflib(4)
and em(4) during attachment under bootverbose. The non-verbose
output of em(4) seen during attachment now is close to the one
prior to the conversion to iflib(4).
- Replace various variants of spelling "MSI-X" (several in messages)
with "MSI-X" as used in the PCI specifications.
- Remove some trailing whitespace from messages emitted by iflib(4)
and change them to consistently start with uppercase.
- Remove some obsolete comments about releasing interrupts from
drivers and correct a few others.

# 7f87c040 15-Jul-2018 Marius Strobl <marius@FreeBSD.org>

Assorted TSO fixes for em(4)/iflib(9) and dead code removal:
- Ever since the workaround for the silicon bug of TSO4 causing MAC hangs
was committed in r295133, CSUM_TSO always got disabled unconditionally
by em(4) on the first invocation of em_init_locked(). However, even with
that problem fixed, it turned out that for at least e. g. 82579 not all
necessary TSO workarounds are in place, still causing MAC hangs even at
Gigabit speed. Thus, for stable/11, TSO usage was deliberately disabled
in r323292 (r323293 for stable/10) for the EM-class by default, allowing
users to turn it on if it happens to work with their particular EM MAC
in a Gigabit-only environment.
In head, the TSO workaround for speeds other than Gigabit was lost with
the conversion to iflib(9) in r311849 (possibly along with another one
or two TSO workarounds). Yet at the same time, for EM-class MACs TSO4
got enabled by default again, causing device hangs. Therefore, change the
default for this hardware class back to have TSO4 off, allowing users
to turn it on manually if it happens to work in their environment as
we do in stable/{10,11}. An alternative would be to add a whitelist of
EM-class devices where TSO4 actually is reliable with the workarounds in
place, but given that the advantage of TSO at Gigabit speed is rather
limited - especially with the overhead of these workarounds -, that's
really not worth it. [1]
This change includes the addition of an isc_capabilities to struct
if_softc_ctx so iflib(9) can also handle interface capabilities that
shouldn't be enabled by default which is used to handle the default-off
capabilities of e1000 as suggested by shurd@ and moving their handling
from em_setup_interface() to em_if_attach_pre() accordingly.
- Although 82543 support TSO4 in theory, the former lem(4) didn't have
support for TSO4, presumably because TSO4 is even more broken in the
LEM-class of MACs than the later EM ones. Still, TSO4 for LEM-class
devices was enabled as part of the conversion to iflib(9) in r311849,
causing device hangs. So revert back to the pre-r311849 behavior of
not supporting TSO4 for LEM-class at all, which includes not creating
a TSO DMA tag in iflib(9) for devices not having IFCAP_TSO4 set. [2]
- In fact, the FreeBSD TCP stack can handle a TSO size of IP_MAXPACKET
(65535) rather than FREEBSD_TSO_SIZE_MAX (65518). However, the TSO
DMA must have a maxsize of the maximum TSO size plus the size of a
VLAN header for software VLAN tagging. The iflib(9) converted em(4),
thus, first correctly sets scctx->isc_tx_tso_size_max to EM_TSO_SIZE
in em_if_attach_pre(), but later on overrides it with IP_MAXPACKET
in em_setup_interface() (apparently, left-over from pre-iflib(9)
times). So remove the later and correct iflib(9) to correctly cap
the maximum TSO size reported to the stack at IP_MAXPACKET. While at
it, let iflib(9) use if_sethwtsomax*().
This change includes the addition of isc_tso_max{seg,}size DMA engine
constraints for the TSO DMA tag to struct if_shared_ctx and letting
iflib_txsd_alloc() automatically adjust the maxsize of that tag in case
IFCAP_VLAN_MTU is supported as requested by shurd@.
- Move the if_setifheaderlen(9) call for adjusting the maximum Ethernet
header length from {ixgbe,ixl,ixlv,ixv,em}_setup_interface() to iflib(9)
so adjustment is automatically done in case IFCAP_VLAN_MTU is supported.
As a consequence, this adjustment now is also done in case of bnxt(4)
which missed it previously.
- Move the reduction of the maximum TSO segment count reported to the
stack by the number of m_pullup(9) calls (which in the worst case,
can add another mbuf and, thus, the requirement for another DMA
segment each) in the transmit path for performance reasons from
em_setup_interface() to iflib_txsd_alloc() as these pull-ups are now
done in iflib_parse_header() rather than in the no longer existing
em_xmit(). Moreover, this optimization applies to all drivers using
iflib(9) and not just em(4); all in-tree iflib(9) consumers still
have enough room to handle full size TSO packets. Also, reduce the
adjustment to the maximum number of m_pullup(9)'s now performed in
iflib_parse_header().
- Prior to the conversion of em(4)/igb(4)/lem(4) and ixl(4) to iflib(9)
in r311849 and r335338 respectively, these drivers didn't enable
IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER by default due to VLAN events not being passed
through by lagg(4). With iflib(9), IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER was turned on
by default but also lagg(4) was fixed in that regard in r203548. So
just remove the now redundant and defunct IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER handling
in {em,ixl,ixlv}_setup_interface().
- Nuke other redundant IFCAP_* setting in {em,ixl,ixlv}_setup_interface()
which is (more completely) already done in {em,ixl,ixlv}_if_attach_pre()
now.
- Remove some redundant/dead setting of scctx->isc_tx_csum_flags in
em_if_attach_pre().
- Remove some IFCAP_* duplicated either directly or indirectly (e. g.
via IFCAP_HWCSUM) in {EM,IGB,IXL}_CAPS.
- Don't bother to fiddle with IFCAP_HWSTATS in ixgbe(4)/ixgbev(4) as
iflib(9) adds that capability unconditionally.
- Remove some unused macros from em(4).
- Bump __FreeBSD_version as some of the above changes require the modules
of drivers using iflib(9) to be recompiled.

ixl(4): Update to 1.9.9-k

Refresh upstream driver before impending conversion to iflib.

Major changes:

- Support for descriptor writeback mode (required by ixlv(4) for AVF support)
- Ability to disable firmware LLDP agent by user (PR 221530)
- Fix for TX queue hang when using TSO (PR 221919)
- Separate descriptor ring sizes for TX and RX rings

# 2ff91c17 12-Apr-2018 Vincenzo Maffione <vmaffione@FreeBSD.org>

netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (commit id 3fb001303718146)

Changelist:
- Turn tx_rings and rx_rings arrays into arrays of pointers to kring
structs. This patch includes fixes for ixv, ixl, ix, re, cxgbe, iflib,
vtnet and ptnet drivers to cope with the change.
- Generalize the nm_config() callback to accept a struct containing many
parameters.
- Introduce NKR_FAKERING to support buffers sharing (used for netmap
pipes)
- Improved API for external VALE modules.
- Various bug fixes and improvements to the netmap memory allocator,
including support for externally (userspace) allocated memory.
- Refactoring of netmap pipes: now linked rings share the same netmap
buffers, with a separate set of kring pointers (rhead, rcur, rtail).
Buffer swapping does not need to happen anymore.
- Large refactoring of the control API towards an extensible solution;
the goal is to allow the addition of more commands and extension of
existing ones (with new options) without the need of hacks or the
risk of running out of configuration space.
A new NIOCCTRL ioctl has been added to handle all the requests of the
new control API, which cover all the functionalities so far supported.
The netmap API bumps from 11 to 12 with this patch. Full backward
compatibility is provided for the old control command (NIOCREGIF), by
means of a new netmap_legacy module. Many parts of the old netmap.h
header has now been moved to netmap_legacy.h (included by netmap.h).

# 541d96aa 30-Mar-2018 Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org>

Use an accessor function to access ifr_data.

This fixes 32-bit compat (no ioctl command defintions are required
as struct ifreq is the same size). This is believed to be sufficent to
fully support ifconfig on 32-bit systems.

Revert r327828, r327949, r327953, r328016-r328026, r328041:
Uses of mallocarray(9).

The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.

Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

ixl(4): Update to 1.7.12-k

Refresh upstream driver before impending conversion to iflib.

Major new features:

- Support for Fortville-based 25G adapters
- Support for I2C reads/writes

(To prevent getting or sending corrupt data, you should set
dev.ixl.0.debug.disable_fw_link_management=1 when using I2C
[this will disable link!], then set it to 0 when done. The driver implements
the SIOCGI2C ioctl, so ifconfig -v works for reading I2C data,
but there are read_i2c and write_i2c sysctls under the .debug sysctl tree
[the latter being useful for upper page support in QSFP+]).

- Addition of an iWARP client interface (so the future iWARP driver for
X722 devices can communicate with the base driver).
- Compiling this option in is enabled by default, with "options IXL_IW" in
GENERIC.
