From: Paul M Stillwell Jr <redacted> Users want the ability to debug FW issues by retrieving the FW logs from the E8xx devices. Use debugfs to allow the user to read/write the FW log configuration by adding a 'fwlog/modules' file. Reading the file will show either the currently running configuration or the next configuration (if the user has changed the configuration). Writing to the file will update the configuration, but NOT enable the configuration (that is a separate command). To see the status of FW logging then read the 'fwlog/modules' file like this: cat /sys/kernel/debug/ice/0000\:18\:00.0/fwlog/modules To change the configuration of FW logging then write to the 'fwlog/modules' file like this: echo DCB NORMAL > /sys/kernel/debug/ice/0000\:18\:00.0/fwlog/modules The format to change the configuration is echo <fwlog_module> <fwlog_level> > /sys/kernel/debug/ice/<pci deviceThis line is truncated, it is not clear where you are writing.Good catch, I don't know how I missed this... Will fixquoted
And more general question, a long time ago, netdev had a policy of not-allowing writing to debugfs, was it changed?I had this same thought and it seems like there were 2 concerns in the pastMaybe, I'm not enough time in netdev world to know the history.quoted
1. Having a single file that was read/write with lots of commands going through it 2. Having code in the driver to parse the text from the commands that was error/security prone We have addressed this in 2 ways: 1. Split the commands into multiple files that have a single purpose 2. Use kernel parsing functions for anything where we *have* to pass text to decodequoted

where * fwlog_level is a name as described below. Each level includes the messages from the previous/lower level * NONE * ERROR * WARNING * NORMAL * VERBOSE * fwlog_event is a name that represents the module to receive events for. The module names are * GENERAL * CTRL * LINK * LINK_TOPO * DNL * I2C * SDP * MDIO * ADMINQ * HDMA * LLDP * DCBX * DCB * XLR * NVM * AUTH * VPD * IOSF * PARSER * SW * SCHEDULER * TXQ * RSVD * POST * WATCHDOG * TASK_DISPATCH * MNG * SYNCE * HEALTH * TSDRV * PFREG * MDLVER * ALL The name ALL is special and specifies setting all of the modules to the specified fwlog_level. If the NVM supports FW logging then the file 'fwlog' will be created under the PCI device ID for the ice driver. If the file does not exist then either the NVM doesn't support FW logging or debugfs is not enabled on the system. In addition to configuring the modules, the user can also configure the number of log messages (resolution) to include in a single Admin Receive Queue (ARQ) event.The range is 1-128 (1 means push every log message, 128 means push only when the max AQ command buffer is full). The suggested value is 10. To see/change the resolution the user can read/write the 'fwlog/resolution' file. An example changing the value to 50 is echo 50 > /sys/kernel/debug/ice/0000\:18\:00.0/fwlog/resolution Signed-off-by: Paul M Stillwell Jr <redacted> Tested-by: Pucha Himasekhar Reddy <redacted> (A Contingent worker at Intel) Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com> --- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/Makefile | 4 +- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h | 18 + .../net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_adminq_cmd.h | 80 ++++ drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_common.c | 5 + drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_debugfs.c | 450 ++++++++++++++++++ drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_fwlog.c | 231 +++++++++ drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_fwlog.h | 55 +++ drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.c | 21 + drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_type.h | 4 + 9 files changed, 867 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_debugfs.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_fwlog.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_fwlog.hdiff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/Makefile b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/Makefile index 960277d78e09..d43a59e5f8ee 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/Makefile +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/Makefile@@ -34,7 +34,8 @@ ice-y := ice_main.o \ ice_lag.o \ ice_ethtool.o \ ice_repr.o \ - ice_tc_lib.o + ice_tc_lib.o \ + ice_fwlog.o ice-$(CONFIG_PCI_IOV) += \ ice_sriov.o \ ice_virtchnl.o \@@ -49,3 +50,4 @@ ice-$(CONFIG_RFS_ACCEL) += ice_arfs.o ice-$(CONFIG_XDP_SOCKETS) += ice_xsk.o ice-$(CONFIG_ICE_SWITCHDEV) += ice_eswitch.o ice_eswitch_br.o ice-$(CONFIG_GNSS) += ice_gnss.o +ice-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) += ice_debugfs.odiff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h index 5ac0ad12f9f1..e6dd9f6f9eee 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice.h@@ -556,6 +556,8 @@ struct ice_pf { struct ice_vsi_stats **vsi_stats; struct ice_sw *first_sw; /* first switch created by firmware */ u16 eswitch_mode; /* current mode of eswitch */ + struct dentry *ice_debugfs_pf; + struct dentry *ice_debugfs_pf_fwlog; struct ice_vfs vfs; DECLARE_BITMAP(features, ICE_F_MAX); DECLARE_BITMAP(state, ICE_STATE_NBITS);@@ -861,6 +863,22 @@ static inline bool ice_is_adq_active(struct ice_pf *pf) return false; } +#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FSThere is no need in this CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and code should be written without debugfs stubs.I don't understand this comment... If the kernel is configured *without* debugfs, won't the kernel fail to compile due to missing functions if we don't do this?It will work fine, see include/linux/debugfs.h.
Nice, as-is impl of ice_debugfs_fwlog_init() would just fail on first debugfs API call.
