bnx2 dirver's firmware images

[Denys Vlasenko]

Hi Michael,

In bnx2_fw.h I see the following:

static u32 bnx2_RXP_b06FwBss[(0x13dc/4) + 1] = { 0x0 };

static struct fw_info bnx2_rxp_fw_06 = {
...
        .bss                            = bnx2_RXP_b06FwBss,
...
};

I grepped for the usage of .bss member (grepped for '[.>]bss[^_]')
and it is used only here:

        if (fw->bss) {
                int j;

                for (j = 0; j < (fw->bss_len/4); j++, offset += 4) {
                        REG_WR_IND(bp, offset, fw->bss[j]);
                }
        }

If I understand it correctly, you read zero words one by one from
bnx2_RXP_b06FwBss and writing them into the card. This is very
suboptimal usage of nearly 5k of kernel unswappable memory.

Do you plan to fix it?

Do you have any plans to switch to request_firmware() interface,
which will allow you to avoid keeping firmware in unswappable kernel
memory and thus free ~80k?

We can compress all the different sections of the firmware.  Currently,
we only compress the biggest chunks and the rest are uncompressed.
These zeros should compress to almost nothing.  But I agree that the
firmware is still big.

Matching the correct version of the firmware with the driver is the main
issue.

David, what's your opinion on this?

You don't need to store and fetch zeros at all. You *know* that
they are zeros, right? So do this:

-                         REG_WR_IND(bp, offset, fw->bss[j]);
+                         REG_WR_IND(bp, offset, 0);

Good point.  We can do that.  Looking at the file, there are other non-
zero data that can be compressed to save some more room.

I don't like it because it means people have to setup full initrd's
in order to do network booting with such network cards.

But the days of my opinion mattering on that issue are long gone,
the momentum is just too greatly behind using request_firmware()
across the board, so there is no reason for bnx2 to be any different.

klibc could help with that, if there is interest in exploring that

I appreciate the effort you put into klibc and the offer to
make initrd's easier to build.

But the point is that the initrd shouldn't be necessary in the first
place.  There becomes zero point in building these drivers statically
into the kernel, which many of us do specifically to avoid module
loading, initrds, and all that fuss.  Because the driver is totally
crippled even though it's been fully built into the main kernel image.

I mean, it's so incredibly stupid and makes kernel development that
much more difficult.

Every new dependency, be it requiring initrd or something else,
is one more barrier added to kernel development.

I really pine for the days where everything was so simple, and initrd
and modules were the odd ball cases, most developers built everything
into their kernel image.

Well, what I was referring to here, of course, was the initramfs
integrated in the kernel image, so it all comes out of the kernel build
tree and produces a single bootable image.  The fact that part of it
contains userspace code is in that way invisible.

That was kind of the point here, and the only reason for pushing klibc
into the kernel build tree at all.  Under the "distros use external
initrd anyway" school of thought, whatever libc used for that can be
external anyway.

Except there seems to be great resistance to include userland code in the
kernel as demonstrated at last KS. Or this is maybe just a single vocal
person and the topic were brought up late?

Anyway - if we again consider klibc I will do my best to make the
build stuff as smooth as possible.

At least as of the last merged tree it was very smooth indeed, thanks to

currently klibc has tendency to rebuild a bit too much if you
touch some part of it, seen in usr/utils
for the main klibc i agree that it makes sense

I do not recall the details at the moment but I recall I had to
do this tradeoff for some reasons.
I do not say it is not fixable but when I did the static-y support
I recall I took a shortcut or two under the assumption that everything
build by klibc was anyway so simple that compiling a bit too much was no harm.

Too buried with other stuff right now.
But feel free to poke me in roughly a month and I will take a deeper look.

The bnx2 firmware changes quite frequently.  A new driver quite often
requires new firmware to work correctly.  Splitting them up makes things
difficult for the user.

The firmware in tg3 is a lot more mature and I don't expect it to
change.  I think tg3 is better suited for using request_firmware().

Like I said, I think neither should change and the driver should
be fully functional when built statically into the kernel.

Michael, doesn't a functional-yet-suboptimal firmware exist ? I mean,
just the same principle as we all have kernels, boot CDs, statically
built tools, etc... which run everywhere. If you have such a beast,
maybe it would be a good start to have it in the kernel, and provide
the users with the ability to upgrade the firmware once the system
is able to do more complex things.

Just a thought...

Willy

So let's save 60K instead of 80K.

That's not for this reason I said this. Michael said the firmware needs
to be updated somewhat often. What I was wondering was if it was not
possible to stick to a stable one (and hopefully small) so that the
driver could require less frequent updates. Sorry if it's not the main
point of the discussion, but I grepped on this :-)

> I mean, the entire discussion is just plain silly :)

yes, possibly :-)

The bnx2 chip requires a lot of firmware to begin with, so it won't save
much space no matter what version is used in the kernel.  We update the
firmware to fix bugs and sometimes to add new features.  New features
often require matching changes in the driver.  For example, we're
planning to add S/G support for jumbo rx frames and this requires
changes in both driver and firmware.

It's possible to make the driver work with multiple firmware versions,
but that adds complexity to enable/disable certain features.  Testing
also becomes more difficult as it has to cover different combinations.

Is that a suggestion that the driver work differently when built as a 
module or built in? I've seen that behavior many time over the years, 
but it usually not deliberate. ;-)

sounds reasonable.

I see that bnx2 has support for unpacking gzipped binary blobs,
and it it the only such net driver (maybe the only such driver
in the entire tree, I didn't check).

This can be very useful for all other firmware images in other drivers.

Last night I prepared a patch which basically separates unpacking
function from bnx2-related code. Can you run-test attached patch?

Meanwhile I will prepare follow-on patch which actually moves this
function out of the driver and into lib/*.

I don't have a problem with removing the gzip header.  It doesn't
contain very useful information other than a valid header for sanity
check.  But I don't think we need to arbitrarily add the unpacked size
in front of the gzipped data.  The driver knows the size (e.g. the size
of RAM on the chip) and should pass it to the call.  The driver should
also allocate the memory for the unpacked data instead of allocating the
memory inside the call and freeing it by the caller.  For example, the
driver may need to use pci_alloc_consistent() if the firmware is to be
DMA'ed to the chip.

Other than that, everything else looks fine.  Thanks.

Are you saying that you successfully run-tested it?

I've only reviewed the code.  Let's resolve these issues first before
testing the code.

Please test these two patches.

outbuf is no longer needed.

rc will always be Z_STREAM_END in this case since we provide a big
enough gunzip_buf for the whole blob.

well thanks that would help us a lot,
we have to strip the firmware for Debian for the upcoming Lenny release.
as the shipping exception for the previous 2 releases will not be granted
again. so a separate firmware would be great. also afaik only some boards
need it. it is a pressing need for us as tg3 with stripped firmware of
course doesn't build.

Why do you "have to"?  The vendor has given you explicit rights
to distribute it:

 * Firmware is:
 *	Derived from proprietary unpublished source code,
 *	Copyright (C) 2000-2003 Broadcom Corporation.
 *
 *	Permission is hereby granted for the distribution of this firmware
 *	data in hexadecimal or equivalent format, provided this copyright
 *	notice is accompanying it.

This whole firmware stripping thing in debian is beyond rediculious
and only serves to hurt users.

hello dave,

i appreciate a lot your opinon, but please cool down.
this is not a four spin on your beloved pipe. :)
