[ Upstream commit 86aae43f21cf784c1d7f6a9af93e5116b0f232ab ]
The ice_cfg_tx_topo function attempts to apply Tx scheduler topology configuration based on NVM parameters, selecting either a 5 or 9 layer topology.
As part of this flow, the driver acquires the "Global Configuration Lock", which is a hardware resource associated with programming the DDP package to the device. This "lock" is implemented by firmware as a way to guarantee that only one PF can program the DDP for a device. Unlike a traditional lock, once a PF has acquired this lock, no other PF will be able to acquire it again (including that PF) until a CORER of the device. Future requests to acquire the lock report that global configuration has already completed.
The following flow is used to program the Tx topology:
* Read the DDP package for scheduler configuration data * Acquire the global configuration lock * Program Tx scheduler topology according to DDP package data * Trigger a CORER which clears the global configuration lock
This is followed by the flow for programming the DDP package:
* Acquire the global configuration lock (again) * Download the DDP package to the device * Release the global configuration lock.
However, if configuration of the Tx topology fails, (i.e. ice_get_set_tx_topo returns an error code), the driver exits ice_cfg_tx_topo() immediately, and fails to trigger CORER.
While the global configuration lock is held, the firmware rejects most AdminQ commands, as it is waiting for the DDP package download (or Tx scheduler topology programming) to occur.
The current driver flows assume that the global configuration lock has been reset by CORER after programming the Tx topology. Thus, the same PF attempts to acquire the global lock again, and fails. This results in the driver reporting "an unknown error occurred when loading the DDP package". It then attempts to enter safe mode, but ultimately fails to finish ice_probe() since nearly all AdminQ command report error codes, and the driver stops loading the device at some point during its initialization.
The only currently known way that ice_get_set_tx_topo() can fail is with certain older DDP packages which contain invalid topology configuration, on firmware versions which strictly validate this data. The most recent releases of the DDP have resolved the invalid data. However, it is still poor practice to essentially brick the device, and prevent access to the device even through safe mode or recovery mode. It is also plausible that this command could fail for some other reason in the future.
We cannot simply release the global lock after a failed call to ice_get_set_tx_topo(). Releasing the lock indicates to firmware that global configuration (downloading of the DDP) has completed. Future attempts by this or other PFs to load the DDP will fail with a report that the DDP package has already been downloaded. Then, PFs will enter safe mode as they realize that the package on the device does not meet the minimum version requirement to load. The reported error messages are confusing, as they indicate the version of the default "safe mode" package in the NVM, rather than the version of the file loaded from /lib/firmware.
Instead, we need to trigger CORER to clear global configuration. This is the lowest level of hardware reset which clears the global configuration lock and related state. It also clears any already downloaded DDP. Crucially, it does *not* clear the Tx scheduler topology configuration.
Refactor ice_cfg_tx_topo() to always trigger a CORER after acquiring the global lock, regardless of success or failure of the topology configuration.
We need to re-initialize the HW structure when we trigger the CORER. Thus, it makes sense for this to be the responsibility of ice_cfg_tx_topo() rather than its caller, ice_init_tx_topology(). This avoids needless re-initialization in cases where we don't attempt to update the Tx scheduler topology, such as if it has already been programmed.
There is one catch: failure to re-initialize the HW struct should stop ice_probe(). If this function fails, we won't have a valid HW structure and cannot ensure the device is functioning properly. To handle this, ensure ice_cfg_tx_topo() returns a limited set of error codes. Set aside one specifically, -ENODEV, to indicate that the ice_init_tx_topology() should fail and stop probe.
Other error codes indicate failure to apply the Tx scheduler topology. This is treated as a non-fatal error, with an informational message informing the system administrator that the updated Tx topology did not apply. This allows the device to load and function with the default Tx scheduler topology, rather than failing to load entirely.
Note that this use of CORER will not result in loops with future PFs attempting to also load the invalid Tx topology configuration. The first PF will acquire the global configuration lock as part of programming the DDP. Each PF after this will attempt to acquire the global lock as part of programming the Tx topology, and will fail with the indication from firmware that global configuration is already complete. Tx scheduler topology configuration is only performed during driver init (probe or devlink reload) and not during cleanup for a CORER that happens after probe completes.
