[PATCH v2 0/3] net/ncsi: Add NCSI Intel OEM command to keep PHY link up

[PATCH v2 0/3] net/ncsi: Add NCSI Intel OEM command to keep PHY link up

[Ivan Mikhaylov]

Add NCSI Intel OEM command to keep PHY link up and prevents any channel
resets during the host load on i210. Also includes dummy response handler for
Intel manufacturer id.

Changes from v1:
 1. sparse fixes about casts
 2. put it after ncsi_dev_state_probe_cis instead of
    ncsi_dev_state_probe_channel because sometimes channel is not ready
    after it
 3. inl -> intel

[PATCH v2 2/3] net/ncsi: add NCSI Intel OEM command to keep PHY up

[Ivan Mikhaylov]

This allows to keep PHY link up and prevents any channel resets during
the host load.

It is KEEP_PHY_LINK_UP option(Veto bit) in i210 datasheet which
block PHY reset and power state changes.

Strange, I don't get these warnings from sparse on my system.

This looks wrong, the value you're passing isn't big endian. It would
make more sense if the byte swap was ntohl, as it's coming from the
cpu and going into the NCSI packet.

How about using runtime configuration over using kconfig for this, so
the same kernel config can be used on different machines. Something
device tree based?

Another option is to use the netlink handler to send the OEM command
from userspace. Eddie has worked on this for an IBM machine, and I've
asked him to post those changes. I would prefer the kernel option
though.

What do you mean?

Is this to handle the response to the link up OEM command? If so,
include it in the same patch.

Can you check that the response is to the link up command and print a
warning if not?

All those errors from ntohl. David linked this one in first series of patches.

Is there any other ways to deal with those sparse errors?

When you don't have proper OEM handler for your MFR_ID, you'll get this as
example:
[   39.073873] ftgmac100 1e660000.ethernet eth1: Received unrecognized OEM
packet with MFR-ID (0x157)
[   39.082974] ftgmac100 1e660000.ethernet eth1: NCSI: Handler for packet type
0xd0 returned -2

It is not the response, it's provides same way of handling as for broadcom and
mellanox manufacturers.

> warning if not?

Yes, I can. As example, ncsi_oem_smaf_mlx doesn't check the response, for me
it's like unidirectional commands, same for this one.

Thanks.

As I see there is already the way with Kconfig option, with previous
broadcom/mellanox get mac address and set affinity for mellanox commands.
I'm not sure about dts based solution. As I see there is two ways:
1. make everything related OEM into dts based options
2. or this way, with Kconfig

I like the idea, it may help with debugging.

It would be much nicer if it wasn't dummy but provide means of
obtaining the MAC properly, in a similar way to the other supported
network cards.

I have a patch I can share but not ready to send for proper mainlining
due to time constraints. Feel free to take it over and send as part of
your patch series.

Re: [PATCH v2 0/3] net/ncsi: Add NCSI Intel OEM command to keep PHY link up

[Paul Fertser]

Hello,

There're multiple things to consider here and I have hesitations about
the way you propose to solve the issue.

While the host is booted up and fully functional it assumes it has
full proper control of network cards, and sometimes it really needs to
reset them to e.g. recover from crashed firmware. The PHY resets might
also make sense in certain cases, and so in general having this "link
up" bit set all the time might be breaking assumptions.

As far as I can tell the Intel developers assumed you would enable
this bit just prior to powering on the host and turn off after all the
POST codes are transferred and we can assume the host system is done
with the UEFI stage and the real OS took over.

OpenBMC seems to have all the necessary hooks to do it that way, and
you have a netlink command to send whatever you need for that from the
userspace, e.g. with the "C version" ncsi-netlink command to set this
bit just run:

ncsi-netlink -l 3 -c 0 -p 0 -o 0x50 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x57 0x20 0x00 0x01

https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/phosphor-networkd/+/36592
would provide an OpenBMC-specific way too.


There's another related thing to consider here: by default I210 has
power-saving modes enabled and so when BMC is booting the link is
established only in 100BASE-T mode. With this configuration and this
bit always set you'd be always stuck to that, never getting Gigabit
speeds.

For server motherboards I propose to configure I210 with this:
./eeupdate64e /all /ww 0x13 0x0081 # disable Low Power Link Up
./eeupdate64e /all /ww 0x20 0x2004 # enable 1000 in non-D0a
(it's a one-time operation that's best to be performed along with the
initial I210 flashing)


Ivan, so far I have an impression that the user-space solution would
be much easier, flexible and manageable and that there's no need for
this command to be in Linux at all.

so it does conflict. I suggest if you decide to continue with this
series rather than the userspace solution to include the MAC fetching
patch in your submission instead of the stub handler.

Paul, what kind of assumption it would break? You know that you set that option
in your kernel, anyways you can look at /proc/config.gz if you have hesitations.
In other ways, if you're saying about possible runtime control, there is ncsi-
netlink control and solution from phosphor-networkd which is on review stage.
Joel proposed it as DTS option which may help at runtime. Some of those commands
should be applied after channel probe as I think including phy reset control.

You may not have such things on your image with suitable env which you can rely
on. There is smaf for mellanox which is done in the same way for example.

Thanks.

The host OS drivers assume they can fully control PCIe network
cards. Doing anything (including inhibiting PHY resets) behind its
back might break assumptions the driver authors had. This bit in
question certainly makes the card behave in an unusual way, so no
wonder Intel didn't enable it by default.

I do not claim I know for a fact it's problematic but it doesn't feel
like "the right thing" so some edge cases might expose issues.

> Joel proposed it as DTS option which may help at runtime.

Sorry, I'm not following. If BMC is fully booted it's able to
configure NC-SI appropriately by a userspace action coordinated with
other BMC tasks. If BMC is not yet ready then we can't communicate
with it via Ethernet anyway. So I can't see when exactly is it going
to be helpful.

> Some of those commands should be applied after channel probe as I

Do you have any other commands in mind? So far I assumed we're
discussing just the one to mask PHY resets.

I can hardly imagine why an OS running on BMC would be using this code
in question and appropriate DT configuration but not having the right
means in userspace to control it. What would be the usecase?

If the network subsystem maintainers think this is a good idea, all
things considered, I'm fine with it. I210 losing link exactly at the
time when you need it (to enter the UEFI interactive menu) is
super-annoying, so probably any fix is better than none :)

Thank you for discussion.
