Convert ixl(4)to use iflib

[erj]

Summary

Latest updates can be found here: https://github.com/intel-wired-ethernet/freebsd/tree/ixl-iflib

• SR-IOV and the VF driver neither work nor compile
• netmap is untested
• VLANs do not work
• no iWARP support
• no nvmupdate support

Other bugs:

• Memory leaks when passing traffic
• Poor UDP throughput when using larger-than-mtu message sizes in netperf (e.g. -m > 1472 w/ 1500 mtu)
• Occasional watchdog messages and/or MDD events
• TX descriptor writeback mode causes interface watchdog/resets during UDP_STREAM netperf

Test Plan

Full regression, but details to be filled in later.

[kmacy]

Update to remove packet parsing from driver

[erj]

This doesn't cleanly apply on top of 11-current, on rS295683.

I'll post an update tomorrow. Thanks.

[kmacy]

Update to build against latest HEAD + GENERIC
@erj please try along with latest iflib patch

[erj]

Some files in ixl in the newest diff still won't apply cleanly.

[kmacy]

• fix interrupt assignment, LUT setup, and flowid assignment per Gallatin
• don't ignore whitespace in case it's causing patch application problems for @erj

@erj I _just_ cloned https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git 10 minutes ago and the latest patch applies cleanly against it

Hmm... Looks like a unified diff to me...

Yep! I can confirm it does.

Great.

My most recent changes may well have caused regressions so for the moment YMWV. Drew is at least testing the converted ixl in -STABLE.

[kmacy]

update against HEAD

[kmacy]

• Update for iflib interface update
• Update TSO handling

[sbruno]

Is this the final version? Or should there be a further update to this review?

[kmacy]

Split in to legacy and iflib versions

Version string is here guys!

[erj]

I can attempt to update the iflib version of ixl with what he have internally, but would it be a better idea to base it off what's in the iflib version of ixgbe right now (D5213)?

[erj]

Convert ixl-1.6.6-k (or at least the PF-non-IOV driver) to iflib

[erj]

ixl: Get rid of files accidentally re-added during rebase.

[erj]

Remove old D5213 files.

[erj]

[erj]

Remove ixgbe updates.

I'm working on this on a github branch here:

https://github.com/intel-wired-ethernet/freebsd/tree/iflib

It might be easier to follow along using that instead of updating this phabricator review. I think I'll return to this when it's more fully-baked.

[erj]

Update converted version of ixl(4) to 1.9.8-k; includes some other bugfixes and updates.
