[PATCH net-next v3 0/2] devlink: net/mlx5: implement swp_l4_csum_mode via devlink params

[PATCH net-next v3 0/2] devlink: net/mlx5: implement swp_l4_csum_mode via devlink params

[Daniel Zahka]

This series contains two patches. The first is a pure refactor that
passes through the extack to devlink_param::get() implementations. The
second introduces a permanent devlink param to the mlx5 driver for
controlling tx csum behavior.

Enabling extack for devlink_param::get() allows drivers to provide
more information in cases when reading parameters from hardware can
result in errors or unexpected values.

The mlx5 swp_l4_csum_mode devlink param is necessary for initializing
PSP on CX7 NICs.

CHANGES:
v3:
  - fix warnings about undocumented param in intel ice driver
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20251103194554.3203178-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/
  - fix indentation issue in new mlx5.rst entry
  - use extack in mlx5_nv_param_devlink_swp_l4_csum_mode_get()
  - introduce extack patch.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20251022190932.1073898-1-daniel.zahka@gmail.com/

[PATCH net-next v3 1/2] devlink: pass extack through to devlink_param::get()

[Daniel Zahka]

Allow devlink_param::get() handlers to report error messages via
extack. This function is called in a few different contexts, but not
all of them will have an valid extack to use.

When devlink_param::get() is called from param_get_doit or
param_get_dumpit contexts, pass the extack through so that drivers can
report errors when retrieving param values. devlink_param::get() is
called from the context of devlink_param_notify(), pass NULL in for
the extack.

[PATCH net-next v3 2/2] net/mlx5: implement swp_l4_csum_mode via devlink params

[Daniel Zahka]

swp_l4_csum_mode controls how L4 transmit checksums are computed when
using Software Parser (SWP) hints for header locations.

Supported values:
  1. device_default: use device default setting.
  2. full_csum: calculate L4 checksum with the pseudo-header.
  3. l4_only: calculate L4 checksum without the pseudo-header. Only
     available when swp_l4_csum_mode_l4_only is set in
     mlx5_ifc_nv_sw_offload_cap_bits.

The l4_only setting is a dependency for PSP initialization in
mlx5e_psp_init().

Notes:
    v2:
    - use extack in mlx5_nv_param_devlink_swp_l4_csum_mode_get()
    - fix indentation issue in mlx5.rst entry

Let's omit the device, just "default". 

So, I checked a couple of flows internally, and it seems this allows
some flexibility in the FW to decide later on which mode to pick,
based on other parameters, which practically means
"user has no preference on this param". Driver can only find out
after boot, when it reads the runtime capabilities, but still
this is a bug, by the time the driver reads this (in devlink), the
default value should've already been determined by FW, so FW must
return the actual runtime value. Which can only be one of the following

Plug in the err, NL_SET_ERR_MSG_FMT_MOD(.., .., err);
other locations as well.

LGTM over all. extack usage is fine, just add the err where applicable.

I don't think it is correct to expose the "default" as a value.

On read, user should see the configured value, either "full_csum" or
"l4_only". Reporting "default" to the user does not make any sense.
On write, user should pass either "full_csum" or "l4_only". Why we would
ever want to pass "default"?

Regardless this patch, since this is param to be reflected on fw reboot
(permanent cmode), I think it would be nice to expose indication if
param value passed to user currently affects the fw, or if it is going
to be applied after fw reboot. Perhaps a simple bool attr would do?

I can add something like this. For permanent cmode params, it might make 
the most sense to expose current and next values the way mstconfig does, 
but that would be a more complicated change.

FWIW I agree that this feels a bit odd. Should the default be a flag
attr? On get flag being present means the value is the FW default (no
override present). On set passing the flag means user wants to reset
to FW default (remove override)?

IIUC we're basically talking about user having no information that 
the update is pending? Could this be done by the core? Core can do 
a ->get prior to calling ->set and if the ->set succeeds and 
cmode != runtime record that the update is pending?

That feels very separate from the series tho, there are 3 permanent
params in mlx5, already. Is there something that makes this one special?

Could work if on GET driver reads 'current' value from FW, then it should
be simpler if GET != SET then 'pending', one problem though is if SET was
done by external tool or value wasn't applied after reboot, then we loose
that information, but do we care? I think we shouldn't.

>That feels very separate from the series tho, there are 3 permanent

In mlx5 they all have the same behavior, devlink sets 'next' value, 
devlink reads 'next' value. The only special thing about the new param
is that it has a 'device_default' value and when you read that from 
'next' it will always show 'device_default' as the actual value is only
known at run time ,e.g. 'next boot'.

I think the only valid solution for permanent and drv_init params is to
have 'next' and 'current' values reported by driver on read. 
Or maybe go just with  'set' != 'get' then 'pending' as discussed above ?

Agreed. That is why I wrote "regardless this patch". But I think the
pending indication is definitelly nice to have.

Hmm, is it possible to rebind the driver without fw going through
next-boot phase? I'm wondering if it wouldn't be safer to have this
pending flag set to be responsibility of the driver...

Y'all did not respond to this part, should we assume that what 
I described is clear and makes sense? I think we should make that
part of the series, unlike the pending indication.

Yes, I've been wondering why it's missing since the day devlink params
were added :)

The downside is that drivers may either have bugs or not implement 
the new feature. So when there's no indication of pending change
the user will have no idea whether its because there's none or the
driver simply does not report both. 

My experience implementing the pending FW version in a couple of
products is that it takes a lot of "discussions" to get FW people 
to implement this sort of a thing right. mlx5 already has the right 
FW APIs so we should allow their full use. But I don't think the 
"what if user change the setting with fwctl", "what if user reloaded
the driver" corner cases should stop us from trying to get the core
to implement 99% of the cases right.

FTR I'm not aware of any Meta-internal products having permanent knobs.
I just don't think we can depend on the random people that submit
drivers these days to get this right. And devlink users will assume
that it's Linux that sucks if it doesn't work right, not vendor X.

Long story short I think we can add the reporting of both values via GET
but I'd definitely still like to see the core trying to do the tracking
automatically.

I agree. The "default" flag sounds good to me.

I agree with tracking in core, allowing driver to opt-in with pending
flag value if it knows better overriding the core value.

The driver reporting 'current' and 'next' makes the most sense to me. 
'pending' would just be implied then. The 'set' != 'get' then 'pending' 
approach would not work on my multi host CX7 system, where rebooting the 
hosts individually does not trigger a fw reset.

To be clear, are we willing to go forward with treating swp_l4_csum_mode 
like other permanent params in nv_param.c in this series, and then defer 
the 'pending' solution to another series?

Incorrect. extack should basically be passed to perror()
IOW user space will add strerror(errno) after, anyway.
Adding the errno inside the string is pointless and ugly.

ernno set by stack. err set by driver. we can't assume err will propagate
to errno, this is up to the stack.

And not at all ugly, very useful debug hint to the user, unless you
guarantee err == errno.

Not propagating errno should be fixed, if that happens.
We need clear expectations to avoid the messages being all over 
the place. Historically we haven't included err because formatting
was not an option. So I think we should continue this way.

Daniel, I asked twice if this could be a non-driver param. Jakub asked
for clearer definition of this know in that context.

Not sure why you are ignoring this :/

My apologies. I think there was a miscommunication. I assumed Jakub's 
question was directed towards you. I have no objection to making it a 
generic param; I will do so in v4. It sounded to me like Jakub was 
wanting more information on what exactly this setting does beyond what I 
was able to provide in the commit message and mlx5 devlink 
documentation. My understanding is that this setting pertains to tx 
csums and how the device expects the driver to prepare partial csums 
when doing tx cso. I don't really know more than that. Especially not 
something like what the FW's role in implementing this is.

Right, per To: field of my email I as asking Jiri for clarifications.

Since we struggle to understand the semantics nack on making this
generic. Chances are whoever reuses the "generic" param will have a
different interpretation of its meaning, so what's the point of making
it generic.

Okay, I don't mind that much.
