[ Upstream commit 954ad9bf13c4f95a4958b5f8433301f2ab99e1f5 ]
More careful measurement of the tc-cbs bandwidth shows that the stream
bandwidth (effectively idleslope) increases, there is a larger and
larger discrepancy between the rate limit obtained by the software
Qdisc, and the rate limit obtained by its offloaded counterpart.
The discrepancy becomes so large, that e.g. at an idleslope of 40000
(40Mbps), the offloaded cbs does not actually rate limit anything, and
traffic will pass at line rate through a 100 Mbps port.
The reason for the discrepancy is that the hardware documentation I've
been following is incorrect. UM11040.pdf (for SJA1105P/Q/R/S) states
about IDLE_SLOPE that it is "the rate (in unit of bytes/sec) at which
the credit counter is increased".
Cross-checking with UM10944.pdf (for SJA1105E/T) and UM11107.pdf
(for SJA1110), the wording is different: "This field specifies the
value, in bytes per second times link speed, by which the credit counter
is increased".
So there's an extra scaling for link speed that the driver is currently
not accounting for, and apparently (empirically), that link speed is
expressed in Kbps.
I've pondered whether to pollute the sja1105_mac_link_up()
implementation with CBS shaper reprogramming, but I don't think it is
worth it. IMO, the UAPI exposed by tc-cbs requires user space to
recalculate the sendslope anyway, since the formula for that depends on
port_transmit_rate (see man tc-cbs), which is not an invariant from tc's
perspective.
So we use the offload->sendslope and offload->idleslope to deduce the
original port_transmit_rate from the CBS formula, and use that value to
scale the offload->sendslope and offload->idleslope to values that the
hardware understands.
Some numerical data points:
40Mbps stream, max interfering frame size 1500, port speed 100M
---------------------------------------------------------------
tc-cbs parameters:
idleslope 40000 sendslope -60000 locredit -900 hicredit 600
which result in hardware values:
Before (doesn't work) After (works)
credit_hi 600 600
credit_lo 900 900
send_slope 7500000 75
idle_slope 5000000 50
40Mbps stream, max interfering frame size 1500, port speed 1G
-------------------------------------------------------------
tc-cbs parameters:

credit_lo 1440 1440
send_slope 120000000 120
idle_slope 5000000 5
5.12Mbps stream, max interfering frame size 1522, port speed 100M
-----------------------------------------------------------------
tc-cbs parameters:
