Hi All, TPH (TLP Processing Hints) is a PCIe feature that allows endpoint devices to provide optimization hints for requests that target memory space. These hints, in a format called steering tag (ST), are provided in the requester's TLP headers and allow the system hardware, including the Root Complex, to optimize the utilization of platform resources for the requests. Upcoming AMD hardware implement a new Cache Injection feature that leverages TPH. Cache Injection allows PCIe endpoints to inject I/O Coherent DMA writes directly into an L2 within the CCX (core complex) closest to the CPU core that will consume it. This technology is aimed at applications requiring high performance and low latency, such as networking and storage applications. This series introduces generic TPH support in Linux, allowing STs to be retrieved and used by PCIe endpoint drivers as needed. As a demonstration, it includes an example usage in the Broadcom BNXT driver. When running on Broadcom NICs with the appropriate firmware, it shows substantial memory bandwidth savings and better network bandwidth using real-world benchmarks. This solution is vendor-neutral and implemented based on industry standards (PCIe Spec and PCI FW Spec). V3->V4: * Rebase on top of the latest pci/next tree (tag: 6.11-rc1) * Add new API functioins to query/enable/disable TPH support * Make pcie_tph_set_st() completely independent from pcie_tph_get_cpu_st() * Rewrite bnxt.c based on new APIs * Remove documentation for now due to constantly changing API * Remove pci=notph, but keep pci=nostmode with better flow (Bjorn) * Lots of code rewrite in tph.c & pci-tph.h with cleaner interface (Bjorn) * Add TPH save/restore support (Paul Luse and Lukas Wunner) V2->V3: * Rebase on top of pci/next tree (tag: pci-v6.11-changes) * Redefine PCI TPH registers (pci_regs.h) without breaking uapi * Fix commit subjects/messages for kernel options (Jonathan and Bjorn) * Break API functions into three individual patches for easy review * Rewrite lots of code in tph.c/tph.h based (Jonathan and Bjorn) V1->V2: * Rebase on top of pci.git/for-linus (6.10-rc1) * Address mismatched data types reported by Sparse (Sparse check passed) * Add pcie_tph_intr_vec_supported() for checking IRQ mode support * Skip bnxt affinity notifier registration if pcie_tph_intr_vec_supported()=false * Minor fixes in bnxt driver (i.e. warning messages) Manoj Panicker (1): bnxt_en: Add TPH support in BNXT driver Michael Chan (1): bnxt_en: Pass NQ ID to the FW when allocating RX/RX AGG rings Paul Luse (1): PCI/TPH: Add save/restore support for TPH Wei Huang (9): PCI: Introduce PCIe TPH support framework PCI: Add TPH related register definition PCI/TPH: Add pcie_tph_modes() to query TPH modes PCI/TPH: Add pcie_enable_tph() to enable TPH PCI/TPH: Add pcie_disable_tph() to disable TPH PCI/TPH: Add pcie_tph_enabled() to check TPH state PCI/TPH: Add pcie_tph_set_st_entry() to set ST tag PCI/TPH: Add pcie_tph_get_cpu_st() to get ST tag PCI/TPH: Add pci=nostmode to force TPH No ST Mode .../admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt | 3 + drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c | 86 ++- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.h | 4 + drivers/pci/pci.c | 4 + drivers/pci/pci.h | 12 + drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig | 11 + drivers/pci/pcie/Makefile | 1 + drivers/pci/pcie/tph.c | 563 ++++++++++++++++++ drivers/pci/probe.c | 1 + include/linux/pci-tph.h | 48 ++ include/linux/pci.h | 7 + include/uapi/linux/pci_regs.h | 38 +- 12 files changed, 768 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/pci/pcie/tph.c create mode 100644 include/linux/pci-tph.h -- 2.45.1
