Commit 0050dcf3e848 ("bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.20.0") added a new .bin
firmware file to linux-firmware.git tree. This new firmware addresses
few important issues and enhancements as mentioned below -

- Support direct invalidation of FP HSI Ver per function ID, required for
  invalidating FP HSI Ver prior to each VF start, as there is no VF start
- BRB hardware block parity error detection support for the driver
- Fix the FCOE underrun flow
- Fix PSOD during FCoE BFS over the NIC ports after preboot driver

This patch incorporates this new firmware 7.13.20.0 in bnx2x driver.

Hello Greg,

This patch set is mainly meant for net-next.git, can you please tell about the issue more specifically ?
Do you mean that I should not have Cced stable here ? is that the problem ?

Thanks,
Manish

How is this expected to work? Your drivers seems to select a very
specific FW version:

	/* Check FW version */
	offset = be32_to_cpu(fw_hdr->fw_version.offset);
	fw_ver = firmware->data + offset;
	if ((fw_ver[0] != BCM_5710_FW_MAJOR_VERSION) ||
	    (fw_ver[1] != BCM_5710_FW_MINOR_VERSION) ||
	    (fw_ver[2] != BCM_5710_FW_REVISION_VERSION) ||
	    (fw_ver[3] != BCM_5710_FW_ENGINEERING_VERSION)) {
		BNX2X_ERR("Bad FW version:%d.%d.%d.%d. Should be %d.%d.%d.%d\n",
		       fw_ver[0], fw_ver[1], fw_ver[2], fw_ver[3],
		       BCM_5710_FW_MAJOR_VERSION,
		       BCM_5710_FW_MINOR_VERSION,
		       BCM_5710_FW_REVISION_VERSION,
		       BCM_5710_FW_ENGINEERING_VERSION);
		return -EINVAL;
	}

so this change has a dependency on user updating their /lib/firmware.

Is it really okay to break the systems for people who do not have that
FW version with a stable backport?

Greg, do you have general guidance for this or is it subsystem by subsystem?

Please read the link I sent you for how to properly get patches accepted
into the stable kernel trees, it should answer this question for you.

Hi Jacub,
You may recall we had a discussion on this during our last FW upgrade too.
Please note this is not FW which resides in flash, which may or may not be
updated during the life cycle of a specific board deployment, but rather an
initialization sequence recipe which happens to contain FW content (as well as
many other register and memory initializations) which is activated when driver
loads. We do have Flash based FW as well, with which we are fully backwards and
forwards compatible. There is no method to build the init sequence in a
backwards compatible mode for these devices - it would basically mean
duplicating most of the device interaction logic (control plane and data plane).
To support these products we need to be able to update this from time to time.
Please note these devices are EOLing, and therefore this may well be the last
update to this FW. The only theoretical way we can think of getting around this
if we had to is adding the entire thing as a huge header file and have the
driver compile with it. This would detach the dependency on the FW file being
present on disk, but has big disadvantages of making the compiled driver huge,
and bloating the kernel with redundant headers filled with what is essentially a
binary blob. We do make sure to add the FW files to the FW sub tree in advance
of modifying the drivers to use them.

I have been pushing back on a similar change for the Marvell Prestera
driver, which also loads the firmware from /lib/firmware and they are
proposing to break the ABI to the firmware, and not support older
version.

I don't like this. As Jakub points out, you are going to break systems
which don't update the firmware and the kernel at the same time. I
really would prefer you support two versions of the firmware, and
detect what features it supports to runtime.

"During our last FW upgrade" is pretty misleading here. The discussion
seems to have been after user reported that you broke their systems:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/ffbcf99c-8274-eca1-5166-efc0828ca05b@molgen.mpg.de/

Now you want to make your users' lives even more miserable by pushing
your changes into stable.

And the driver can't support two versions of init sequence because...?

Solid argument.

All the patch is doing is changing some offsets. Why can't you just
make the offset the driver uses dependent on the FW version?

Would be great if the engineer who wrote the code could answer that.

It is also not clear why the offsets need to change. Why not add the
new facility at the end, so the offsets don't change?

Well. Generally speaking on the architecture of these devices, the init sequence
includes programing the PRAM of the processors on the fastpath, so two different
init sequences would mean two different FW versions, and supporting
two different data planes. It would also mean drastic changes in control plane
as well, for the same reason: the fastpath FW expects completely
different structures and messaging from one version to the next. For these
two versions, however, changes are admittedly not that big.

At this time we don't have any plans on further replacing the FW, so hopefully
we won't find ourselves here again. Another important point: the major fix we
are pushing here is a breakage in the SR-IOV virtual function compatibility
implementation in the FW (introduced in the previous FW version). If we
would maintain the ability to support that older FW in the PF driver, we
would also be maintaining the presence of the breakage. In other words you
may be better off with the driver failing to load with a clear message of "need
new FW file" rather than having it load, but then having all your virtual
functions which are passed through to virtual machines with distro kernel fail
in weird and unpredictable ways. For this reason we also ask to expedite
the acceptance of this change, as it is desirable to limit the exposure of this
problem. Back to the EOLing point: the set of people still familiar with this
 >13 years old architecture is severely reduced, so would rather not to try 
and invent new ways of doing things.

My original answer was more for the general design/architecture of these
products, and a general design of supporting multiple FW versions on them.
Specifically for this FW change, as relatively little has changed, we
*could* maintain two sets of offsets based on the FW version. This might
impact driver performance, however, as some of the offsets are used in
data plane (e.g. updating the L2 ring producers), although I suppose we
could also work around that by preparing a new "generic" array of offsets,
populate it at FW load time and use that. However, as I stated above, I don't
think it is desirable in this case, as the previous version contains some nasty
behavior, and it may take us some considerable time to build that design,
allowing the problematic FW to spread to further Linux distributions.

Hello Jakub et al,

Just following up based on the comments put by Ariel a week back. The earlier firmware has caused some important regression w.r.t SR-IOV compatibility, so it's critical to have these new
FW patches to be accepted sooner (thinking of the impact on various Linux distributions/kernels where that bug/regression will be carried over with earlier firmware), as Ariel pointed out
the complexities, in general making the FW backwards compatible on these devices architecture meaning supporting different data/control path (which is not good from performance perspective),
However these two particular versions are not changing that much (from data/control path perspective) so we could have made them backward compatible for these two particular versions but
given the time criticality, regression/bug introduced by the earlier FW, bnx2x devices being almost EOL, this would be our last FW submission hopefully so we don't want to re-invent something
which has been continued for many years now for these bnx2* devices.

PS: this series was not meant for stable (I have Cced stable mistakenly), please let me know if I can send v2 with stable removed from recipients.

Thanks,
Manish

I'm i right in says, the bad firmware was introduced with:

commit 0a6890b9b4df89a83678eba0bee3541bcca8753c
Author: Sudarsana Reddy Kalluru <skalluru@marvell.com>
Date:   Mon Nov 4 21:51:09 2019 -0800

    bnx2x: Utilize FW 7.13.15.0.
    
    Commit 97a27d6d6e8d "bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.15.0" added said .bin FW to
    linux-firmware tree. This FW addresses few important issues in the earlier
    FW release.
    This patch incorporates FW 7.13.15.0 in the bnx2x driver.

And that means v5.5 through to at least 5.16 will be broken? It has
been broken for a little under 2 years? And both 5.10 and 5.15 are
LTS. And you don't care. You will leave them broken, even knowing that
distribution kernels are going to use these LTS kernel?

And you could of avoided this by not breaking the firmware ABI. Which
you now say is actually possible. And after being broken for 2 years
it is now time critical?

Not Correct. We would like to solve the problem here too. But what we plan
is to push these fixes upstream and to any other distro which will take them.
We did not face difficulties in the past to have the distros include the newer
FW files which the driver required.

It is not correct that this would have been avoided by not Breaking the ABI.
The breakage was a bug introduced in the FW for SR-IOV. Having
backwards/forwards compatible ABI would not change the fact that the bug
would be there. The bug is only exposed with old VM running on new
Hypervisor, so it is not correct to say "bug was there for 2 years".
Although problem was introduced 2 years ago, it was exposed now, and now
we want to fix it. Whether the fix is done in a manner by which driver
can work with old FW file on disk or not is not related to the problem itself.

I stand by that *generally* this HW architecture is not designed for
backward/forward compatibility with regard to this FW. But it is true that in
this case it can be done. Numerous FW versions of this device which were already
accepted and all were non backwards compatible and all had this same issue
(updating driver mandates syncing up to latest FW tree, otherwise driver load
gracefully fails). Since this is the last FW we are pushing for this EOLing
device it seems a bit meticulous to insist on this for this (hopefully) last
version of the device FW. If community insists, we will provide it in backwards
compatible manner (since it so happens that in this version it is possible), but
it may take us some time to prepare that. That may increase the exposure of the
SR-IOV bug to further distros which may pick up the older FW/Driver combination
in that time.

Isn't mainline the top of upstream? You cannot get any further up. Yet
you plan to drop stable? Please could you explain some more.

Are you thinking of releasing a 7.13.15.1 which only fixes the
problem, keeping ABI compatibility, so it can be added to stable?
And then submit 7.13.20.0 for net-next?

Part of the problem is the Marvell keeps doing this for its
products. See the discussion with Prestera. It is like there is a
Marvell policy to not even bother to try to keep ABI compatibility
with the firmware.

If the community wants Marvell to get better in this respect, we need
to push back and say ABI compatibility is important. I hope Prestera
has learned its lesion, they say they will never break ABI
compatibility again, but i think we need to wait a few years before we
can actually trust that statement.

What about other NIC drivers. I hope you don't have any other ABI
breaks planned.
