[PATCH net-next v5 0/2] net: stmmac: Tx coe sw fallback

[PATCH net-next v5 0/2] net: stmmac: Tx coe sw fallback

[Rohan G Thomas]

Hi,
Some DWMAC IPs support tx coe only for a few initial tx queues,
starting from tx queue 0. This patchset adds support for tx coe sw
fallback for those queues that don't support tx coe. Also, add binding
for snps,tx-queues-with-coe property.

changelog v5:
* As rightly suggested by Serge, reworked redundant code.

changelog v4: 
* Replaced tx_q_coe_lmt with bit flag.

changelog v3: 
* Resend with complete email list.

changelog v2: 
* Reformed binding description.
* Minor grammatical corrections in comments and commit messages.

[PATCH net-next v5 1/2] dt-bindings: net: snps,dwmac: Tx queues with coe

[Rohan G Thomas]

Add dt-bindings for the number of tx queues with coe support. Some
dwmac IPs support tx queues only for a few initial tx queues,
starting from tx queue 0.

[PATCH net-next v5 2/2] net: stmmac: Tx coe sw fallback

[Rohan G Thomas]

Add sw fallback of tx checksum calculation for those tx queues that
don't support tx checksum offloading. Because, some DWMAC IPs support
tx checksum offloading only for a few initial tx queues, starting
from tx queue 0.

Is it going to be obvious that if not present all queues support
checksum offload? I think we should document the default.

This question is debatable:
1. By default the DW xGMAC and DW QoS Eth IP-cores are
synthesized with only the very first Tx queue having Tx COE enabled.
2. If TSO is disabled then the Tx COE can be individually enabled
for each queue available on DW QoS Eth controller and for the very
first N queues on DW xGMAC controller.
3. If TSO is enabled then the Tx COE will be automatically and always
enabled for as many first queues as there are TSO-capable
DMA-channels.
4. At the current state the STMMAC driver assumes that all Tx Queues
support Tx COE.

The entry 4 can't be changed since we'll risk to catch regressions on
the platforms with no property specified. On the other hand it partly
contradicts to the rest of the entries. I don't know what would be a
correct way to specify the default value in this case. Most likely
just keep the entry 4 and be done with it.

BTW I just noticed that but the suggested "snps,tx-queues-with-coe"
property semantic will only cover a DW XGMAC-part of the case 2. DW
QoS Eth can be synthesized with Tx COE individually enabled for a
particular queue if TSO is unavailable.

Hi Serge,

Didn't know about a different IP configuration supported by DW QoS Eth IP. If
this is the case, I think we can have a flag 'coe-unsupported' for any TX
queue subnode as below.

+          snps,coe-unsupported:
+            $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/flag
+            description:
+              TX checksum offload is unsupported by the TX queue. If TX checksum
+              offload is requested for a packet to be transmitted through this
+              TX queue then have a software fallback in the driver for checksum
+              calculation.

If this is okay, I can rework the patch based on this. Covers both DW QoS Eth IP
and DW XGMAC IP cases.

AFAIR tKrzysztof preferred to use type: boolean for the flags.

This is redundant in the HW description.

I guess that's the only choice we have seeing the driver already
expects all the Tx queues having the COE supported.
