net/mlx5e: Calculate SQ stop room in a robust way

Currently, different formulas are used to estimate the space that may be
taken by WQEs in the SQ during a single packet transmit. This space is
called stop room, and it's checked in the end of packet transmit to find
out if the next packet could overflow the SQ. If it could, the driver
tells the kernel to stop sending next packets.

Many factors affect the stop room:

1. Padding with NOPs to avoid WQEs spanning over page boundaries.

2. Enabled and disabled offloads (TLS, upcoming MPWQE).

3. The maximum size of a WQE.

The padding is performed before every WQE if it doesn't fit the current
page.

The current formula assumes that only one padding will be required per
packet, and it doesn't take into account that the WQEs posted during the
transmission of a single packet might exceed the page size in very rare
circumstances. For example, to hit this condition with 4096-byte pages,
TLS offload will have to interrupt an almost-full MPWQE session, be in
the resync flow and try to transmit a near to maximum amount of data.

To avoid SQ overflows in such rare cases after MPWQE is added, this
patch introduces a more robust formula to estimate the stop room. The
new formula uses the fact that a WQE of size X will not require more
than X-1 WQEBBs of padding. More exact estimations are possible, but
they result in much more complex and error-prone code for little gain.

Before this patch, the TLS stop room included space for both INNOVA and
ConnectX TLS offloads that couldn't run at the same time anyway, so this
patch accounts only for the active one.

mlx5: Rx queue setup time determine frame_sz for XDP

The mlx5 driver have multiple memory models, which are also changed
according to whether a XDP bpf_prog is attached.

The 'rx_striding_rq' setting is adjusted via ethtool priv-flags e.g.:
# ethtool --set-priv-flags mlx5p2 rx_striding_rq off

On the general case with 4K page_size and regular MTU packet, then
the frame_sz is 2048 and 4096 when XDP is enabled, in both modes.

The info on the given frame size is stored differently depending on the
RQ-mode and encoded in a union in struct mlx5e_rq union wqe/mpwqe.
In rx striding mode rq->mpwqe.log_stride_sz is either 11 or 12, which
corresponds to 2048 or 4096 (MLX5_WQ_TYPE_LINKED_LIST_STRIDING_RQ).
In non-striding mode (MLX5_WQ_TYPE_CYCLIC) the frag_stride is stored
in rq->wqe.info.arr[0].frag_stride, for the first fragment, which is
what the XDP case cares about.

To reduce effect on fast-path, this patch determine the frame_sz at
setup time, to avoid determining the memory model runtime. Variable
is named frame0_sz to make it clear that this is only the frame
size of the first fragment.

This mlx5 driver does a DMA-sync on XDP_TX action, but grow is safe
as it have done a DMA-map on the entire PAGE_SIZE. The driver also
already does a XDP length check against sq->hw_mtu on the possible
XDP xmit paths mlx5e_xmit_xdp_frame() + mlx5e_xmit_xdp_frame_mpwqe().

V3+4: Change variable name first_frame_sz to frame0_sz

V2: Fix that frag_size need to be recalc before creating SKB.

net/mlx5e: Unify reserving space for WQEs

In our fast-path design, a WQE (Work Queue Element) must not cross the
page boundary. To enforce that, for WQEs consisting of more than one BB
(Basic Block), the driver checks the available contiguous space in the
WQ in advance, and if it's not enough, it pads it with NOPs.

This patch modifies the code that calculates the position of next WQE,
considering the padding, and prepares the WQE. This code is common for
all SQ types. In this patch it's reorganized in a way that makes the
usage pattern unified for all SQ types, and makes the implementations
self-contained and look almost the same, preparing the repeating code to
further attempts to deduplicate it.

One place is left as is: mlx5e_sq_xmit and mlx5e_fill_sq_frag_edge call
inside, because it is special in a way that it may also copy WQE's cseg
and eseg when reserving space. This will be eliminated in one of the
following patches, and this place will be converted to the new approach,
too.

WQE type.

This commit generalizes the fetch WQE operation by putting this code

concrete use cases, macros are provided that substitute the right WQE
size and cast the return type.

Before this patch, fetch_wqe used to calculate pi itself, but the value
was often known to the caller. This calculation is moved outside to
eliminate this unnecessary step and prepare for the fill_frag_edge
refactoring in the next patch.

net/mlx5e: XDP, Close TX MPWQE session when no room for inline packet left

In MPWQE mode, when transmitting packets with XDP, a packet that is smaller
than a certain size (set to 256 bytes) would be sent inline within its WQE
TX descriptor (mem-copied), in case the hardware tx queue is congested
beyond a pre-defined water-mark.

If a MPWQE cannot contain an additional inline packet, we close this
MPWQE session, and send the packet inlined within the next MPWQE.
To save some MPWQE session close+open operations, we don't open MPWQE
sessions that are contiguously smaller than certain size (set to the
HW MPWQE maximum size). If there isn't enough contiguous room in the
send queue, we fill it with NOPs and wrap the send queue index around.

This way, qualified packets are always sent inline.

Perf tests:
Tested packet rate for UDP 64Byte multi-stream
over two dual port ConnectX-5 100Gbps NICs.
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz

With 24 channels:
| ------ | bounced packets | inlined packets | inline ratio |
| before | 113.6Mpps | 96.3Mpps | 84% |

With one channel:

| ------ | bounced packets | inlined packets | inline ratio |
| before | 6.7Mpps | 0pps | 0% |
| after | 6.8Mpps | 0pps | 0% |

As we can see, there is improvement in both inline ratio and overall
packet rate for 24 channels. Also, we see no degradation for the
one-channel case.

net/mlx5e: Add XSK zero-copy support

This commit adds support for AF_XDP zero-copy RX and TX.

We create a dedicated XSK RQ inside the channel, it means that two
RQs are running simultaneously: one for non-XSK traffic and the other
for XSK traffic. The regular and XSK RQs use a single ID namespace split
into two halves: the lower half is regular RQs, and the upper half is
XSK RQs. When any zero-copy AF_XDP socket is active, changing the number
of channels is not allowed, because it would break to mapping between
XSK RQ IDs and channels.

XSK requires different page allocation and release routines. Such
functions as mlx5e_{alloc,free}_rx_mpwqe and mlx5e_{get,put}_rx_frag are
generic enough to be used for both regular and XSK RQs, and they use the
mlx5e_page_{alloc,release} wrappers around the real allocation
functions. Function pointers are not used to avoid losing the
performance with retpolines. Wherever it's certain that the regular
(non-XSK) page release function should be used, it's called directly.

Only the stats that could be meaningful for XSK are exposed to the
userspace. Those that don't take part in the XSK flow are not
considered.

Note that we don't wait for WQEs on the XSK RQ (unlike the regular RQ),
because the newer xdpsock sample doesn't provide any Fill Ring entries
at the setup stage.

We create a dedicated XSK SQ in the channel. This separation has its
advantages:

1. When the UMEM is closed, the XSK SQ can also be closed and stop
receiving completions. If an existing SQ was used for XSK, it would
continue receiving completions for the packets of the closed socket. If
a new UMEM was opened at that point, it would start getting completions
that don't belong to it.

2. Calculating statistics separately.

When the userspace kicks the TX, the driver triggers a hardware
interrupt by posting a NOP to a dedicated XSK ICO (internal control
operations) SQ, in order to trigger NAPI on the right CPU core. This XSK
ICO SQ is protected by a spinlock, as the userspace application may kick
the TX from any core.

Store the pointers to the UMEMs in the net device private context,
independently from the kernel. This way the driver can distinguish
between the zero-copy and non-zero-copy UMEMs. The kernel function
xdp_get_umem_from_qid does not care about this difference, but the
driver is only interested in zero-copy UMEMs, particularly, on the
cleanup it determines whether to close the XSK RQ and SQ or not by
looking at the presence of the UMEM. Use state_lock to protect the
access to this area of UMEM pointers.

LRO isn't compatible with XDP, but there may be active UMEMs while
XDP is off. If this is the case, don't allow LRO to ensure XDP can
be reenabled at any time.

The validation of XSK parameters typically happens when XSK queues
open. However, when the interface is down or the XDP program isn't
set, it's still possible to have active AF_XDP sockets and even to
open new, but the XSK queues will be closed. To cover these cases,
perform the validation also in these flows:

1. A new UMEM is registered, but the XSK queues aren't going to be
created due to missing XDP program or interface being down.

2. MTU changes while there are UMEMs registered.

Having this early check prevents mlx5e_open_channels from failing
at a later stage, where recovery is impossible and the application
has no chance to handle the error, because it got the successful
return value for an MTU change or XSK open operation.

The performance testing was performed on a machine with the following
configuration:

- 24 cores of Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40 GHz
- Mellanox ConnectX-5 Ex with 100 Gbit/s link

net/mlx5e: Refactor struct mlx5e_xdp_info

Currently, struct mlx5e_xdp_info has some issues that have to be cleaned
up before the upcoming AF_XDP support makes things too complicated and
messy. This structure is used both when sending the packet and on
completion. Moreover, the cleanup procedure on completion depends on the
origin of the packet (XDP_REDIRECT, XDP_TX). Adding AF_XDP support will
add new flows that use this structure even differently. To avoid
overcomplicating the code, this commit refactors the usage of this
structure in the following ways:

1. struct mlx5e_xdp_info is split into two different structures. One is
struct mlx5e_xdp_xmit_data, a transient structure that doesn't need to
be stored and is only used while sending the packet. The other is still
struct mlx5e_xdp_info that is stored in a FIFO and contains the fields
needed on completion.

2. The fields of struct mlx5e_xdp_info that are used in different flows
are put into a union. A special enum indicates the cleanup mode and
helps choose the right union member. This approach is clear and
explicit. Although it could be possible to "guess" the mode by looking
at the values of the fields and at the XDP SQ type, it wouldn't be that
clear and extendable and would require looking through the whole chain
to understand what's going on.

For the reference, there are the fields of struct mlx5e_xdp_info that
are used in different flows (including AF_XDP ones):

Packet origin | Fields used on completion | Cleanup steps
-----------------------+---------------------------+------------------
XDP_REDIRECT, | xdpf, dma_addr | DMA unmap and
XDP_TX from XSK RQ | | xdp_return_frame.
-----------------------+---------------------------+------------------
XDP_TX from regular RQ | di | Recycle page.
-----------------------+---------------------------+------------------
AF_XDP TX | (none) | Increment the
| | producer index in
| | Completion Ring.

On send, the same set of mlx5e_xdp_xmit_data fields is used in all
flows: DMA and virtual addresses and length.

net/mlx5e: XDP, Inline small packets into the TX MPWQE in XDP xmit flow

Upon high packet rate with multiple CPUs TX workloads, much of the HCA's
resources are spent on prefetching TX descriptors, thus affecting
transmission rates.
This patch comes to mitigate this problem by moving some workload to the
CPU and reducing the HW data prefetch overhead for small packets (<= 256B).

When forwarding packets with XDP, a packet that is smaller
than a certain size (set to ~256 bytes) would be sent inline within
its WQE TX descrptor (mem-copied), when the hardware tx queue is congested
beyond a pre-defined water-mark.

This is added to better utilize the HW resources (which now makes
one less packet data prefetch) and allow better scalability, on the
account of CPU usage (which now 'memcpy's the packet into the WQE).

To load balance between HW and CPU and get max packet rate, we use
watermarks to detect how much the HW is congested and move the work
loads back and forth between HW and CPU.

| | before | after | |
| 32 rings | 64Mpps | 92Mpps | +43% |
| 1 ring | 6.4Mpps | 6.4Mpps | same |

As we can see, feature significantly improves scaling, without
hurting single ring performance.

MLX5E_XDP_MAX_MTU was calculated incorrectly. It didn't account for
NET_IP_ALIGN and MLX5E_HW2SW_MTU, and it also misused MLX5_SKB_FRAG_SZ.
This commit fixes the calculations and adds a brief explanation for the
formula used.

net/mlx5e: Fix use-after-free after xdp_return_frame

xdp_return_frame releases the frame. It leads to releasing the page, so
it's not allowed to access xdpi.xdpf->len after that, because xdpi.xdpf
is at xdp->data_hard_start after convert_to_xdp_frame. This patch moves
the memory access to precede the return of the frame.
