This series adds the admin channel infrastructure and mailbox (MBOX)
protocol needed for V2 SR-IOV support in the enic driver.
The V2 SR-IOV design uses a direct PF-VF communication channel built on
dedicated WQ/RQ/CQ hardware resources and an MSI-X interrupt.
Firmware capability and admin channel infrastructure (patches 1-4):
- Probe-time firmware feature check for V2 SR-IOV support
- Admin channel open/close, RQ buffer management, CQ service
with MSI-X interrupt and workqueue-based polling
MBOX protocol and VF enable (patches 5-10):
- MBOX message types, core send/receive, PF and VF handlers
- V2 SR-IOV enable wiring with admin channel setup
- V2 VF probe with admin channel and PF registration

Changes in v9:
- Use dma_rmb() instead of rmb() when reading admin RQ completion
descriptors written by DMA (patch 4) [Sashiko]
- Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC for admin RQ refill and for
received-message allocation; both run in workqueue (process)
context after the v8 NAPI-to-workqueue switch (patch 4) [Sashiko]
- Correct the enic_admin_msg comment to describe the workqueue
enqueue path rather than NAPI (patch 4) [Sashiko]
- Set mbox_send_disabled in enic_admin_channel_close() so a MBOX
send cannot race with channel teardown (patch 6) [Sashiko]
- Send the actual PF carrier state to a VF on registration instead
of unconditionally reporting link up (patch 7) [Sashiko]
- Call reinit_completion() before setting mbox_expected_reply so a
reply arriving between the two is not missed (patch 8) [Sashiko]
- Defer PF->VF link state notification to a workqueue and gate it on
carrier transitions; enic_link_check() runs in the notify (atomic)
context while the MBOX send sleeps on a mutex/completion (patch 9)
[Sashiko]
- Clear ENIC_SRIOV_ENABLED and cancel the link-notify work before
freeing per-VF state in the SR-IOV disable path, closing a
use-after-free window against a concurrent link notification
(patch 9) [Sashiko]
- Link to v8: https://patch.msgid.link/20260609-enic-sriov-v2-admin-channel-v2-v8-0-8ad8babbb826@cisco.com
Changes in v8:
- Replace NAPI polling with workqueue for admin CQ service — admin
channel is low-frequency control traffic, not data path (patch 4)
[Jakub Kicinski]
- Use explicit enum value (= 4) for VIC_FEATURE_SRIOV instead of
placeholder VIC_FEATURE_PTP entry (patch 1) [Breno Leitao]
- Remove unnecessary rmb() in WQ CQ service (patch 4) [Jakub Kicinski]
- Remove admin_msg_drop_cnt counter (patch 4) [Simon Horman]
- Drop NAPI reschedule on RQ refill failure — the NAPI-to-workqueue
switch removes the livelock and budget issues (patch 4) [Simon Horman]
- Remove unnecessary READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE on admin_rq_handler — all
access is serialized by probe/remove (patch 6) [Jakub Kicinski]
- Fix checkpatch line-length warnings (patches 3, 5, 6)
- Rate-limit link state send failure and ACK error warnings (patch 7)
[Jakub Kicinski]
- Correct enic_link_check comment to describe actual PF link state
notification flow (patch 7) [Simon Horman]
- Correct mbox_expected_reply comment — serialization is by
RTNL/probe, not mbox_lock (patch 8) [Jakub Kicinski]
- Wire enic_mbox_send_link_state() from enic_link_check() so PF
notifies VFs on carrier change (patch 9) [Simon Horman]
- Fix commit message wording about MSI-X reservation (patch 10)
[Simon Horman]
- Link to v7: https://patch.msgid.link/20260513-enic-sriov-v2-admin-channel-v2-v7-0-68b9f4141f4c@cisco.com
Changes in v7:
- Replace magic numbers in admin channel init with named macros
and inline comments for MBOX descriptor encoding
(patches 2, 6) [Paolo Abeni]
- Add defense-in-depth bounds check on admin RQ bytes_written (patch 4)
- Force NAPI reschedule on admin RQ refill failure (patch 4)
- Always unmask admin interrupt even with zero credits (patch 4)
- Reorder NAPI init before request_irq in admin channel open (patch 4)
- Remove redundant netdev_warn on admin msg enqueue kmalloc failure
(patch 4) [Paolo Abeni]
- Add netdev_warn on admin WQ/RQ disable failure in close path
(patch 2)
- Remove incorrect RES_TYPE_SRIOV_INTR interrupt allocation from
admin channel open (patch 2); interrupt setup handled entirely
in patch 4 using RES_TYPE_INTR_CTRL
- Rate-limit VF register/unregister log messages (patch 7) [Paolo Abeni]
- Add __aligned(8) to admin message data[] for strict-alignment
safety (patch 4)
- Rate-limit MBOX handler error warnings (patch 7)
- Pre-allocate port profile array before pci_disable_sriov in V1
disable path to avoid half-torn-down state on alloc failure (patch 9)
- Account for admin channel interrupt reservation in
enic_set_intr_mode() and enic_adjust_resources() (patch 9) [Paolo Abeni]
- Clear admin_rq_handler in enic_admin_channel_close (patch 9)
- Quiesce admin channel (mask interrupt, disable NAPI, block MBOX
sends) around soft reset (patch 9)
- Use WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE for mbox_send_disabled and
admin_rq_handler across data-path/reset boundaries
(patches 4, 6, 9)
- Fix commit message: reference enic_adjust_resources() alongside
enic_set_intr_mode() (patch 10)
Investigated findings from automated review (Simon Horman / Sashiko):
- Race between probe-time feature check and VF proxy: false positive;
detection runs at probe, enable runs from sriov_configure
- Struct alignment of __le32 after 2-byte mbox_hdr_embed: compiler
inserts correct padding, no manual alignment needed
- Stale MBOX reply matching / reinit_completion race: single-flight
design with mutex serialization prevents this
- cancel_work_sync vs MBOX unregister race: work cannot be
re-triggered during the close window
- Link to v6: https://patch.msgid.link/20260503-enic-sriov-v2-admin-channel-v2-v6-0-0af4fbc2d86d@cisco.com
Changes in v6:
- Add explanatory comments documenting admin_cq[0] (WQ CQE size) and
admin_cq[1] (RQ CQE size matching firmware enic_ext_cq() programming)
allocations (patch 2)
- Enforce bytes_written from CQ descriptor when enqueuing admin RQ
message; previously buf->len (allocation size) was passed, exposing
uninitialized buffer memory beyond the real payload (patch 4)
- Drop admin RQ messages with TRUNCATED set or FCS_OK clear, gated by
netdev_warn_once() (patch 4)
- Disable interrupt_enable on admin_cq[0]: WQ completions are polled
synchronously inside enic_mbox_send_msg() and never raise an
interrupt; matches admin_cq[1] (RQ) which does NAPI polling (patch 4)
- Add mbox_expected_reply gating in VF reply handlers (capability,
register, unregister): drop replies whose type does not match the
current waiter's expected type, avoiding spurious wakeup of an
unrelated waiter from a stale reply that arrives after timeout
(patch 8)
- Distinguish error returns in enic_mbox_vf_unregister(): -ETIMEDOUT
(no reply received), -EACCES (PF rejected the unregister), 0 on
success. Previously all paths collapsed to a single -ETIMEDOUT
(patch 8)
- Reserve one extra MSI-X slot in enic_set_intr_mode() when
has_admin_channel is set so enic_admin_setup_intr() always has room
to allocate at intr_count without exceeding intr_avail bounds when
data queue count is maxed out (patch 10)
- Clarify in commit messages that .sriov_configure is intentionally
not yet wired in this series and will be added in a follow-up after
the necessary devcmd hardening lands (patch 9)
- Link to v5: https://patch.msgid.link/20260423-enic-sriov-v2-admin-channel-v2-v5-0-caa9f504a3dc@cisco.com
Changes in v5:
- Fix DMA-into-freed-memory race: call enic_admin_qp_type_set() before
disabling RQ/WQ in both error and close paths (patch 3)
- Fix DMA mapping leak: enic_admin_wq_buf_clean() now unmaps and frees
WQ buffers still held at close time after a send timeout (patch 3)
- Log rate-limited warning on admin RQ refill failure (patch 4)
- Add missing linux/types.h and linux/bits.h includes to enic_mbox.h
(patch 5)
- Guard mbox_lock/mbox_comp init with mbox_initialized flag to prevent
re-initialization on sriov_configure re-entry (patch 7)
- Clear VF registered state before sending unregister reply so PF does
not treat a dead VF as still registered (patch 8)
- Gate VF-facing log messages with net_ratelimit() to prevent malicious
VF from flooding PF dmesg (patch 8)
- Reject VF port profile requests when V2 SR-IOV is active since
enic->pp is not reallocated for V2 VFs (patch 9)
- Move enic_sriov_detect_vf_type() before auto-enable check; skip
probe-time auto-enable for V2 VFs (patch 9)
- Move admin channel close and VF unregister before unregister_netdev()
in enic_remove() to prevent use-after-free on netdev (patch 10)
- Add comment in enic_reset() documenting that admin channel is not
recovered after soft reset (patch 10)
- Bypass RES_TYPE_SRIOV_INTR check for V2 VFs in admin channel
capability detection (patch 10)
- Link to v4: https://patch.msgid.link/20260411-enic-sriov-v2-admin-channel-v2-v4-0-f052326c2a57@cisco.com
Changes in v4:
- Fix reverse xmas tree variable ordering (patches 1, 6)
- Use kzalloc_obj instead of kzalloc with sizeof (patch 9)
- Add NULL check for pp allocation in V1 SR-IOV disable path (patch 9)

During PF probe, query the firmware get-supported-feature interface
to verify that the running firmware supports V2 SR-IOV. Firmware
version 5.3(4.72) and later report VIC_FEATURE_SRIOV via
CMD_GET_SUPP_FEATURE_VER. If the firmware does not support the
feature, set vf_type to ENIC_VF_TYPE_NONE and log a warning so the
admin knows a firmware upgrade is needed.
VIC_FEATURE_SRIOV is assigned the explicit value 4 to match the
firmware ABI. Slot 3 (firmware's VIC_FEATURE_PTP) is reserved with
a comment rather than a placeholder enum entry, since PTP is not
used by the upstream driver.

The V2 SR-IOV design uses a dedicated admin channel (WQ/RQ/CQ/INTR
on separate BAR resources) for PF-VF mailbox communication rather
than firmware-proxied devcmds.
Introduce enic_admin_channel_open() and enic_admin_channel_close().
Open allocates and initialises the admin WQ, RQ, and two CQs (one per
direction), then issues CMD_QP_TYPE_SET to tell firmware the queues are
admin-type. Close reverses the sequence.
enic_admin_wq_buf_clean() unmaps and frees any WQ buffers still held
at close time, fixing a DMA mapping leak when a send times out.
Add CMD_QP_TYPE_SET (97), QP_TYPE_ADMIN/DATA, and QP_ENABLE/QP_DISABLE
defines to vnic_devcmd.h. Add VNIC_CQ_* named constants to vnic_cq.h
so CQ initialisation parameters are self-documenting from their first
introduction.

The admin receive queue needs pre-posted DMA buffers for incoming
mailbox messages from VFs. Each buffer is a kmalloc'd region mapped
for DMA (2048 bytes, sufficient for any MBOX message).
Add enic_admin_rq_fill(gfp) to post buffers at open time, and
enic_admin_rq_drain() to unmap and free them at close time.
Wire both into the admin channel open/close paths. The gfp_t
parameter lets the caller pass the allocation context; both current
callers -- channel open and the CQ-poll work handler that refills
after draining (added in the next patch) -- run in process context
and use GFP_KERNEL.

Add completion queue (CQ) service for the admin channel work queue
(WQ) and receive queue (RQ), driven by a dedicated MSI-X interrupt
and a workqueue-based CQ poller.
The admin WQ CQ service advances the completion ring and returns the
number of descriptors consumed. The admin RQ CQ service does the
same for receive completions and copies each received message into a
preallocated buffer. Received messages are enqueued for deferred
dispatch by a separate work_struct so the CQ poller stays short.
When the MSI-X interrupt fires, the ISR schedules the CQ poll
work_struct. The work handler drains all pending completions, kicks
message dispatch if work was done, and returns credits to unmask the
interrupt.
Log a rate-limited warning when admin RQ buffer refill fails so that
transient memory pressure is visible without flooding the log.

Define the mailbox protocol structures for PF-VF communication:
message header, generic reply, and per-message-type payloads for
capability negotiation, VF registration/unregistration, and link
state notification/acknowledgment.
Include linux/types.h and linux/bits.h for __le16/__le32/__le64
and BIT() used in the header.
Message types use an even=request / odd=reply convention. The
header carries source and destination VNIC IDs, a monotonically
increasing message number, and the total message length.

Implement the mailbox protocol engine used for PF-VF communication
over the admin channel.
The send path (enic_mbox_send_msg) builds a message with a common
header, DMA-maps it, posts a single WQ descriptor with the
destination vnic ID encoded in the VLAN tag field, and polls
the WQ CQ for completion.
MBOX sends are gated by enic->mbox_send_disabled: enic_mbox_send_msg()
returns early while it is set. The flag is cleared in
enic_admin_channel_open() only once the admin WQ/RQ/CQ and interrupt
are fully programmed, and set again at the start of
enic_admin_channel_close(), so a send can never race a not-yet-ready
or torn-down admin channel.
The receive path (enic_mbox_recv_handler) is installed as the admin
RQ callback and validates incoming message headers. PF/VF-specific
dispatch will be added in subsequent commits.

Implement PF-side mailbox message processing for SR-IOV V2
admin channel communication.
When the PF receives messages from VFs, the dispatch routes
them to type-specific handlers:
- VF_CAPABILITY_REQUEST: reply with protocol version 1
- VF_REGISTER_REQUEST: send the register reply, mark the
VF registered on success, then send PF_LINK_STATE_NOTIF
reflecting the PF's current carrier state
- VF_UNREGISTER_REQUEST: mark VF unregistered, send reply
- PF_LINK_STATE_ACK: log errors from VF acknowledgment
Per-VF state (struct enic_vf_state) is tracked via enic->vf_state
which will be allocated when SRIOV V2 is enabled.
Remove the CONFIG_PCI_IOV guard from num_vfs in struct enic. The
PF handlers reference enic->num_vfs for VF ID bounds checking in
enic_mbox.c, which is compiled unconditionally. The field must be
visible regardless of CONFIG_PCI_IOV to avoid build failures.
Add enic_mbox_send_link_state() helper for PF-initiated link
state notifications, also used later by ndo_set_vf_link_state.

Implement VF-side mailbox message processing for SR-IOV V2
admin channel communication.
VF receive handlers:
- VF_CAPABILITY_REPLY: store PF protocol version, signal
completion
- VF_REGISTER_REPLY: mark VF as registered, signal completion
- VF_UNREGISTER_REPLY: mark VF as unregistered, signal
completion
- PF_LINK_STATE_NOTIF: update carrier state via
netif_carrier_on/off, send ACK back to PF
VF initiation functions for the probe-time handshake:
- enic_mbox_vf_capability_check: send capability request,
wait for PF reply via completion
- enic_mbox_vf_register: send register request, wait for
PF confirmation via completion
- enic_mbox_vf_unregister: send unregister request, wait
for PF confirmation
The wait helper (enic_mbox_wait_reply) uses
wait_for_completion_timeout, signaled when the admin ISR and
CQ-poll/dispatch workqueue pipeline delivers the reply message.

Extend enic_sriov_configure() to handle V2 SR-IOV VFs. When the PF
detects V2 VF device IDs, the enable path allocates per-VF MBOX state,
opens the admin channel, initializes the MBOX protocol, and then calls
pci_enable_sriov(). The admin channel must be ready before VFs are
created so that VF drivers can immediately begin the MBOX capability
and registration handshake during their probe.
The enic_sriov_configure() dispatcher and its V2 helpers
(enic_sriov_v2_enable, enic_sriov_v2_disable) are defined here but
intentionally not yet wired into struct pci_driver via
.sriov_configure -- hence the __maybe_unused annotations. This
series introduces only the admin channel and MBOX infrastructure;
sysfs-driven V2 enable/disable will be activated in a follow-up
patch by adding ".sriov_configure = enic_sriov_configure," to
enic_driver.
The disable path first clears ENIC_SRIOV_ENABLED and flushes the
link-notify work, so no further VF link-state broadcast can run, then
calls pci_disable_sriov() (VF drivers unregister via MBOX), closes the
admin channel, and frees per-VF state. Clearing the flag and flushing
the work before vf_state is freed closes a use-after-free window
against the link-notify path.
Notify registered VFs of PF link transitions: enic_link_check()
schedules link_notify_work on each carrier up/down edge, and the work
handler sends PF_LINK_STATE_NOTIF to the VFs from process context.
The broadcast cannot run directly in enic_link_check() because the
MBOX send path may sleep and link check runs in the notify timer/ISR
context.
Re-establish the admin/MBOX channel across a PF reset. enic_reset()
and enic_tx_hang_reset() fully close the admin channel before the
soft/hang reset (which wipes all hardware queues, including the admin
WQ/RQ), then reopen it and re-run enic_mbox_init() after the data path
is back up, and re-push the current link state to registered VFs.
Reject VF port profile requests when V2 SR-IOV is active
(enic_is_valid_pp_vf), since enic->pp is not reallocated for V2 VFs
and the V2 protocol uses MBOX instead of port profiles.
Update enic_remove() to run enic_dev_deinit() and vnic_dev_close()
after SR-IOV teardown, so the PF device remains functional while VFs
are being cleaned up. This ordering applies to both V1 and V2 SR-IOV
paths.

When a V2 SR-IOV VF probes, open the admin channel, initialize the
MBOX protocol, perform the capability check with the PF, and register
with the PF. This establishes the PF-VF communication path that the PF
uses to send link state notifications.
The admin channel and MBOX registration happen after enic_dev_init()
(which discovers admin channel resources) and before register_netdev()
so the VF is fully initialized before the interface is visible to
userspace.
The admin channel is opened before enic_mbox_init() installs the
receive handler. This is safe because enic_admin_rq_cq_service()
checks admin_rq_handler before enqueuing received buffers, so any
interrupt that fires between open and mbox_init is harmlessly
discarded.
On remove, the VF unregisters from the PF and closes its admin channel
before tearing down data path resources.
V2 VFs are not provisioned with an RES_TYPE_SRIOV_INTR resource by
firmware, so bypass that check in the admin channel capability
detection for V2 VFs. The PF still requires this resource.
The admin MSI-X vector reserved by enic_set_intr_mode()
is used for the admin channel interrupt.
enic_adjust_resources() ensures the reserved slot is within
intr_avail bounds even at maximum queue configurations. The
admin INTR uses a RES_TYPE_INTR_CTRL slot shared with the
data path.
