[PATCH v5 00/15] common ethdev linkstatus functions

[PATCH v5 00/15] common ethdev linkstatus functions

[Stephen Hemminger]

While reviewing drivers, noticed a lot of unnecessary
duplication of code in drivers for handling the eth_dev link status
information. While consolidating this, it also became obvious that
some drivers behave differently for no good reason.

It also was a good chance to introduce atomic exchange primitives
in EAL because there are other places using cmpset where not
necessary (such as bonding).

Mostly only compile tested only, don't have all of the hardware
available (except ixgbe and virtio) to test.

Note: the eth_dev_link_update function return value is inconsistent
across drivers. Should be changed to be void.

v5
 - checkpatch whitespace cleanup

v4
 - incorporate review feedback
 - rename _rte_linkstatus to rte_linkstatus
 - change return value of _rte_linkstatus
 - optimize get on 64bit platforms
 - change return value of rte_linkstatus_set

v3
 - align rte_linkstatus_get with rte_atomic64_read
 - virtio use ETH_SPEED_NUM_10G
 - add net/

v2
 - function names changed
 - rebased to current master

[PATCH v5 01/15] eal: introduce atomic exchange operation

[Stephen Hemminger]

To handle atomic update of link status (64 bit), every driver
was doing its own version using cmpset.
Atomic exchange is a useful primitive in its own right;
therefore make it a EAL routine.

[PATCH v5 02/15] ethdev: add linkstatus get/set helper functions

[Stephen Hemminger]

Many drivers are all doing copy/paste of the same code to atomically
update the link status. Reduce duplication, and allow for future
changes by having common function for this.

[PATCH v5 13/15] net/szedata: use _rte_eth_linkstatus_set

[Stephen Hemminger]

Yet another driver which was not returing correct value on
link change.

Since this driver can't be built on x86 could not even
do a compile test.

[PATCH v5 15/15] net/enic: use rte_eth_linkstatus_set

[Stephen Hemminger]

This driver was not doing atomic update of link status information.
And the return value was different than others.
The hardware also does not do autonegotiation (at least on Linux).

1. "--in-reply-to" is recommended way ([1])

2. Specifically here: there is a v4 already by Ferruh (targeting 
maintainers directly, I think) and then another by you. And with 
separate threads it is difficult to compare them. Maybe you prefer flat 
email threads - it helps people like me who don't.

3. I had put my Ack on v4 by Ferruh, but it seems dpaa2 specific code 
has changed from Ferruh's v4 to your v4/v5. Please ignore that Ack. I 
will send my acceptance on your v5.

Here "link status" is used as up/down status of the link.

Here (and function and the second parameter description) "link status"
is used as all information about link.
rte_ethdev API calls it just "link" (link_update, link_get_wait/nowait).
It is not a big problem, but it is better to avoid it.

I would say "link_update" callback return value is inconsistent across
drivers. I'm not sure which direction is right here: make it consistent
or make it void. Also any changes in link information could be
important. As I understand it should not happen without up/down,
but bugs with loss of intermediate transitions are definitely possible.
So, notifying about any changes in link information is definitely safer.
May be not now.

Again, why not return previous link status, it is simple enough to prevent
inconsistent usage.

rte_eth_link_get() already discards the return value, so won't be a problem there.

For the cases PMD would like know about link changes, they will need to
implement almost same link_update function with a return value, so why not use
existing link_update function?

Like been in virtio, link_update() used in interrupt handler, and calls a
callback process if status changes. When link_update() return status changed to
void, I guess they will need to implement another version of the link_update
with return and use it.

The interrupt and non-interrupt model are different.
Also the driver internally may want to do something different, this is about
the return value for dev_ops->link_update.  The code in rte_eth_dev never
used the return value. The bonding driver was expecting it to work but it
doesn't. Anyway drivers shouldn't in general be directly calling other
devices eth_dev_ops

Yes. But for virtio specific usage:

virtio_interrupt_handler()
  virtio_dev_link_update() == 0
    _rte_eth_dev_callback_process()

meantime same exact virtio_dev_link_update() used as:
  .link_update             = virtio_dev_link_update,

so updating virtio_dev_link_update() to not return status change, will update
logic in virtio_interrupt_handler(), no?

> Also the driver internally may want to do something different, this is about

Agreed, driver may do something different. And the function needs to be
implemented will be very close to dev_ops->link_update. I thought making
dev_ops->link_update more generic can prevent duplication there. And aligns with
virtio usage..

Agreed.

I guess now there are a few overlay PMDs does this.

I would like to see this patch in, because it is useful and almost done. The
concern I mentioned above effects virtio.

Can virtio maintainers check if it is OK to get this as it is please?

Let's go step by step. I will update patchset to keep same behavior in drivers
but switch to new APIs to prevent code duplication.

In next step we can define the return value and implement missing PMDs.

[PATCH v6 01/14] eal: introduce atomic exchange operation

[Ferruh Yigit]

From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>

To handle atomic update of link status (64 bit), every driver
was doing its own version using cmpset.
Atomic exchange is a useful primitive in its own right;
therefore make it a EAL routine.

[PATCH v6 02/14] ethdev: add linkstatus get/set helper functions

[Ferruh Yigit]

From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>

Many drivers are all doing copy/paste of the same code to atomically
update the link status. Reduce duplication, and allow for future
changes by having common function for this.

PPC does not define RTE_FORCE_INTRINSICS,
and ARM could disable it I guess.
