[PATCH net v2 0/6] igc: Fix corner cases for TSN offload

[Florian Kauer]

The igc driver supports several different offloading capabilities
relevant in the TSN context. Recent patches in this area introduced
regressions for certain corner cases that are fixed in this series.

Each of the patches (except the first one) addresses a different
regression that can be separately reproduced. Still, they have
overlapping code changes so they should not be separately applied.

Especially #4 and #6 address the same observation,
but both need to be applied to avoid TX hang occurrences in
the scenario described in the patches.

[PATCH net v2 1/6] igc: Rename qbv_enable to taprio_offload_enable

[Florian Kauer]

In the current implementation the flags adapter->qbv_enable
and IGC_FLAG_TSN_QBV_ENABLED have a similar name, but do not
have the same meaning. The first one is used only to indicate
taprio offload (i.e. when igc_save_qbv_schedule was called),
while the second one corresponds to the Qbv mode of the hardware.
However, the second one is also used to support the TX launchtime
feature, i.e. ETF qdisc offload. This leads to situations where
adapter->qbv_enable is false, but the flag IGC_FLAG_TSN_QBV_ENABLED
is set. This is prone to confusion.

The rename should reduce this confusion. Since it is a pure
rename, it has no impact on functionality.

Thanks for pointing that out (also in your other mail for this series).
I will be more careful regarding the use of imperative mood.

The referenced commit introduced an issue into the kernel by
introducing a variable that does not exactly describe its actual purpose.
It is not only a cosmetic change, but in my view this confusion
was related to other issues (see the other patches). So, it seemed to be worth
fixing alongside with the other fixes, even if it does not directly impact
functionality if it is applied or not (until someone else comes along,
also gets confused and introduces another bug...).

Thanks,
Florian

[PATCH net v2 2/6] igc: Do not enable taprio offload for invalid arguments

[Florian Kauer]

Only set adapter->taprio_offload_enable after validating the arguments.
Otherwise, it stays set even if the offload was not enabled.
Since the subsequent code does not get executed in case of invalid
arguments, it will not be read at first.
However, by activating and then deactivating another offload
(e.g. ETF/TX launchtime offload), taprio_offload_enable is read
and erroneously keeps the offload feature of the NIC enabled.

This can be reproduced as follows:

    # TAPRIO offload (flags == 0x2) and negative base-time leading to expected -ERANGE
    sudo tc qdisc replace dev enp1s0 parent root handle 100 stab overhead 24 taprio \
	    num_tc 1 \
	    map 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \
	    queues 1@0 \
	    base-time -1000 \
	    sched-entry S 01 300000 \
	    flags 0x2

[PATCH net v2 3/6] igc: Handle already enabled taprio offload for basetime 0

[Florian Kauer]

Since commit e17090eb2494 ("igc: allow BaseTime 0 enrollment for Qbv")
it is possible to enable taprio offload with a basetime of 0.
However, the check if taprio offload is already enabled for i225
(and thus -EALREADY should be returned for igc_save_qbv_schedule)
still relied on adapter->base_time > 0.

This can be reproduced as follows:

    # TAPRIO offload (flags == 0x2) and base-time = 0
    sudo tc qdisc replace dev enp1s0 parent root handle 100 stab overhead 24 taprio \
	    num_tc 1 \
	    map 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \
	    queues 1@0 \
	    base-time 0 \
	    sched-entry S 01 300000 \
	    flags 0x2

    # The second call should fail with "Error: Device failed to setup taprio offload."
    # But that only happens if base-time was != 0
    sudo tc qdisc replace dev enp1s0 parent root handle 100 stab overhead 24 taprio \
	    num_tc 1 \
	    map 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \
	    queues 1@0 \
	    base-time 0 \
	    sched-entry S 01 300000 \
	    flags 0x2

[PATCH net v2 4/6] igc: No strict mode in pure launchtime/CBS offload

[Florian Kauer]

The flags IGC_TXQCTL_STRICT_CYCLE and IGC_TXQCTL_STRICT_END
prevent the packet transmission over slot and cycle boundaries.
This is important for taprio offload where the slots and
cycles correspond to the slots and cycles configured for the
network.

However, the Qbv offload feature of the i225 is also used for
enabling TX launchtime / ETF offload. In that case, however,
the cycle has no meaning for the network and is only used
internally to adapt the base time register after a second has
passed.

Enabling strict mode in this case would unneccesarily prevent
the transmission of certain packets (i.e. at the boundary of a
second) and thus interfers with the ETF qdisc that promises
transmission at a certain point in time.

Similar to ETF, this also applies to CBS offload that also should
not be influenced by strict mode unless taprio offload would be
enabled at the same time.

This fully reverts
commit d8f45be01dd9 ("igc: Use strict cycles for Qbv scheduling")
but its commit message only describes what was already implemented
before that commit. The difference to a plain revert of that commit
is that it now copes with the base_time = 0 case that was fixed with
commit e17090eb2494 ("igc: allow BaseTime 0 enrollment for Qbv")

In particular, enabling strict mode leads to TX hang situations
under high traffic if taprio is applied WITHOUT taprio offload
but WITH ETF offload, e.g. as in

    sudo tc qdisc replace dev enp1s0 parent root handle 100 taprio \
	    num_tc 1 \
	    map 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \
	    queues 1@0 \
	    base-time 0 \
	    sched-entry S 01 300000 \
	    flags 0x1 \
	    txtime-delay 500000 \
	    clockid CLOCK_TAI
    sudo tc qdisc replace dev enp1s0 parent 100:1 etf \
	    clockid CLOCK_TAI \
	    delta 500000 \
	    offload \
	    skip_sock_check

and traffic generator

    sudo trafgen -i traffic.cfg -o enp1s0 --cpp -n0 -q -t1400ns

with traffic.cfg

    #define ETH_P_IP        0x0800

    {
      /* Ethernet Header */
      0x30, 0x1f, 0x9a, 0xd0, 0xf0, 0x0e,  # MAC Dest - adapt as needed
      0x24, 0x5e, 0xbe, 0x57, 0x2e, 0x36,  # MAC Src  - adapt as needed
      const16(ETH_P_IP),

      /* IPv4 Header */
      0b01000101, 0,   # IPv4 version, IHL, TOS
      const16(1028),   # IPv4 total length (UDP length + 20 bytes (IP header))
      const16(2),      # IPv4 ident
      0b01000000, 0,   # IPv4 flags, fragmentation off
      64,              # IPv4 TTL
      17,              # Protocol UDP
      csumip(14, 33),  # IPv4 checksum

      /* UDP Header */
      10,  0, 48, 1,   # IP Src - adapt as needed

      csumudp(14, 34), # UDP checksum

      /* Payload */
      fill('W', 1000),
    }

and the observed message with that is for example

[PATCH net v2 5/6] igc: Fix launchtime before start of cycle

[Florian Kauer]

It is possible (verified on a running system) that frames are processed
by igc_tx_launchtime with a txtime before the start of the cycle
(baset_est).

However, the result of txtime - baset_est is written into a u32,
leading to a wrap around to a positive number. The following
launchtime > 0 check will only branch to executing launchtime = 0
if launchtime is already 0.

Fix it by using a s32 before checking launchtime > 0.

[PATCH net v2 6/6] igc: Fix inserting of empty frame for launchtime

[Florian Kauer]

The insertion of an empty frame was introduced with
commit db0b124f02ba ("igc: Enhance Qbv scheduling by using first flag bit")
in order to ensure that the current cycle has at least one packet if
there is some packet to be scheduled for the next cycle.

However, the current implementation does not properly check if
a packet is already scheduled for the current cycle. Currently,
an empty packet is always inserted if and only if
txtime >= end_of_cycle && txtime > last_tx_cycle
but since last_tx_cycle is always either the end of the current
cycle (end_of_cycle) or the end of a previous cycle, the
second part (txtime > last_tx_cycle) is always true unless
txtime == last_tx_cycle.

What actually needs to be checked here is if the last_tx_cycle
was already written within the current cycle, so an empty frame
should only be inserted if and only if
txtime >= end_of_cycle && end_of_cycle > last_tx_cycle.

This patch does not only avoid an unnecessary insertion, but it
can actually be harmful to insert an empty packet if packets
are already scheduled in the current cycle, because it can lead
to a situation where the empty packet is actually processed
as the first packet in the upcoming cycle shifting the packet
with the first_flag even one cycle into the future, finally leading
to a TX hang.

The TX hang can be reproduced on a i225 with:

    sudo tc qdisc replace dev enp1s0 parent root handle 100 taprio \
	    num_tc 1 \
	    map 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \
	    queues 1@0 \
	    base-time 0 \
	    sched-entry S 01 300000 \
	    flags 0x1 \
	    txtime-delay 500000 \
	    clockid CLOCK_TAI
    sudo tc qdisc replace dev enp1s0 parent 100:1 etf \
	    clockid CLOCK_TAI \
	    delta 500000 \
	    offload \
	    skip_sock_check

and traffic generator

    sudo trafgen -i traffic.cfg -o enp1s0 --cpp -n0 -q -t1400ns

with traffic.cfg

    #define ETH_P_IP        0x0800

    {
      /* Ethernet Header */
      0x30, 0x1f, 0x9a, 0xd0, 0xf0, 0x0e,  # MAC Dest - adapt as needed
      0x24, 0x5e, 0xbe, 0x57, 0x2e, 0x36,  # MAC Src  - adapt as needed
      const16(ETH_P_IP),

      /* IPv4 Header */
      0b01000101, 0,   # IPv4 version, IHL, TOS
      const16(1028),   # IPv4 total length (UDP length + 20 bytes (IP header))
      const16(2),      # IPv4 ident
      0b01000000, 0,   # IPv4 flags, fragmentation off
      64,              # IPv4 TTL
      17,              # Protocol UDP
      csumip(14, 33),  # IPv4 checksum

      /* UDP Header */
      10,  0, 48, 1,   # IP Src - adapt as needed
      10,  0, 48, 10,  # IP Dest - adapt as needed
      const16(5555),   # UDP Src Port
      const16(6666),   # UDP Dest Port
      const16(1008),   # UDP length (UDP header 8 bytes + payload length)
      csumudp(14, 34), # UDP checksum

      /* Payload */
      fill('W', 1000),
    }

and the observed message with that is for example

 igc 0000:01:00.0 enp1s0: Detected Tx Unit Hang
   Tx Queue             <0>
   TDH                  <32>

> Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/6] igc: Fix corner cases for TSN offload
> 
> The igc driver supports several different offloading capabilities relevant in the
> TSN context. Recent patches in this area introduced regressions for certain
> corner cases that are fixed in this series.
> 
> Each of the patches (except the first one) addresses a different regression
> that can be separately reproduced. Still, they have overlapping code changes
> so they should not be separately applied.
> 
> Especially #4 and #6 address the same observation, but both need to be
> applied to avoid TX hang occurrences in the scenario described in the
> patches.
