That isn't quite true. The default for Sparc systems is to have it enabled. Really this is something that is platform specific. I agree with Stephen that it would work better if this was handled as a series of platform specific quirks handled at something like the PCI layer rather than be a switch the user can toggle on and off. With that being said there are changes being made that should help to improve the situation. Specifically I am looking at adding support for the DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING which may also allow us to identify cases where you might be able to specify the DMA behavior via the DMA mapping instead of having to make the final decision in the device itself. - Alex ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

My original comment/objection was that you attempted to do this change as a module parameter to the ixgbe driver, where I directed you to use ethtool so that other drivers could benefit from the ability to enable/disable relaxed ordering. As far as how it gets implemented in ethtool or PCI layer, makes little difference to me, I only had issues with the driver specific module parameter implementation, which is not acceptable.

Thank you Jeff and Alex. And then I have gone through mail thread about "i40e: enable PCIe relax ordering for SPARC", It only works for SPARC, any other ARCH who wants to enable DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING feature, should define the new macro, recompile the driver module. Because of the above reasons, we implement in ethtool to give the final user a convenient way to on|off special feature, no need define new macro, easy to extend the new features, and also good benefit for other driver as Jeff referred. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

The fact is the PCIe device control register should have a bit that indicates if the device is allowed to enable relaxed ordering or not. If we can guarantee that the bit is set in all the cases where it should be set, and cleared in all the cases where it should not then we could use something like that to determine if the device is supposed to enable relaxed ordering instead of trying to make the decision ourselves. - Alex ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

We are focusing on the register. And yes, to enable relax ordering for 82599 should be set by one or more bits of Rx/TX DCA Control Register, these bits should be set in many cpu architectures, such as arm64, sparc, and so on, and should be cleared in other ARCHs. By the way, how do you enable SPARC macro, how and where to define this compiling macro when user one to enable relax ordering under SPARC system? #ifndef CONFIG_SPARC ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

I have verified DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING is not usable for our system(arm64 and 82599), We should enable relax ordering in 82599 DCA control register to improve performance. As Stephen Hemminger do not suggest use ethtool to set relax ordering feature, @Jeff, do you agree with using erratum config to enable RO mode in 82599. Codes like below: In Kconfig: +config HI_ERRATUM_xxxx In ixgbe_82599.c #if !defined (CONFIG_SPARC) || !defined(HI_ERRATUM_xxxx) /* Disable relaxed ordering */ for (i = 0; ((i < hw->mac.max_tx_queues) && (i < IXGBE_DCA_MAX_QUEUES_82598)); i++) { regval = IXGBE_READ_REG(hw, IXGBE_DCA_TXCTRL(i)); regval &= ~IXGBE_DCA_TXCTRL_DESC_WRO_EN; IXGBE_WRITE_REG(hw, IXGBE_DCA_TXCTRL(i), regval); } for (i = 0; ((i < hw->mac.max_rx_queues) && (i < IXGBE_DCA_MAX_QUEUES_82598)); i++) { regval = IXGBE_READ_REG(hw, IXGBE_DCA_RXCTRL(i)); regval &= ~(IXGBE_DCA_RXCTRL_DATA_WRO_EN | IXGBE_DCA_RXCTRL_HEAD_WRO_EN); IXGBE_WRITE_REG(hw, IXGBE_DCA_RXCTRL(i), regval); } #endif ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

Maybe something like a "ARCH_WANT_RO_DMA" that then drivers could modify their relaxed ordering flag based on. Then you could just add the flag to the SPARC and your arm64 kconfig options and not have to involve the other architectures. - Alex ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

I get your idea about using ethtool -K|--feature is good for this feature, right? My original concert is about this is a relax ordering mode exist in 82599, it is the hardware related feature. And ethtool -s option is related hardware of phy and other (e.g: speed, duplex...), it is very easy to implement in do_sset(). But ethtool -K is mainly used for protocol offload, ethtool -K|--features|--offload DEVNAME Set protocol offload and other features FEATURE on|off ... @Jeff Kirsher, what's your comments? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread
