[PATCH net-next 06/12] net: ethtool: Add PSE new port priority support feature
Posted by Kory Maincent 1 month, 3 weeks ago
From: Kory Maincent (Dent Project) <kory.maincent@bootlin.com>

This patch expands the status information provided by ethtool for PSE c33
with current port priority and max port priority. It also adds a call to
pse_ethtool_set_prio() to configure the PSE port priority.

Please extend the documentation with expected system behavior: the
meaning of lowest and highest values, power up and shutdown behaviors,
etc.

We need to introduce a new attribute to effectively manage PSE priorities. With
the addition of the `ETHTOOL_A_C33_PSE_PRIO` attribute for setting priorities,
it's important to know which PSE controller or domain each port belongs to.

Initially, we might consider using a PSE controller index, such as
`ETHTOOL_A_PSE_CONTROLLER_ID`, to identify the specific PSE controller
associated with each port.

However, using just the PSE controller index is too limiting. Here's why:

- Typical PSE controllers handle priorities only within themselves. They
usually can't manage prioritization across different controllers unless they
are part of the same power domain. In systems where multiple PSE controllers
cooperate—either directly or through software mechanisms like the regulator
framework—controllers might share power domains or manage priorities together.
This means priorities are not confined to individual controllers but are
relevant within shared power domains.

- As systems become more complex, with controllers that can work together,
relying solely on a controller index won't accommodate these cooperative
scenarios.

To address these issues, we should use a power domain identifier instead. I
suggest introducing a new attribute called `ETHTOOL_A_PSE_POWER_DOMAIN_ID`.

- It specifies the power domain to which each port belongs, ensuring that
priorities are managed correctly within that domain.

- It accommodates systems where controllers cooperate and share power
resources, allowing for proper coordination of priorities across controllers
within the same power domain.

- It provides flexibility for future developments where controllers might work
together in new ways, preventing limitations that would arise from using a
strict controller index.

However, to provide comprehensive information, it would be beneficial to use
both attributes:

- `ETHTOOL_A_PSE_CONTROLLER_ID` to identify the specific PSE controller
associated with each port.

- `ETHTOOL_A_PSE_POWER_DOMAIN_ID` to specify the power domain to which each
port belongs.

Currently the priority is managed by the PSE controller so the port is the only
information needed. The user interface is ethtool, and I don't see why he would
need such things like controller id or power domain id. Instead, it could be
managed by the PSE core depending on the power domains described in the
devicetree. The user only wants to know if he can allow a specific power budget
on a Ethernet port and configure port priority in case of over power-budget
event.

I don't have hardware with several PSE controllers. Is there already such
hardware existing in the market?
This seems like an interesting idea but I think it would belong in another patch
series.
Still, it is good to talk about it for future development idea.

Budget is important but different topic. If user do not know how much
the budget is, there is nothing usable user can configure. Imagine you
do not know how much money can spend and the only way to find it out is
by baying things.

But, budget is the secondary topic withing context of this patch set.
The primer topic here is the prioritization, so the information user
need to know it the context: do A has higher prio in relation to B? Do A
and B actually in the same domain?

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but in case of pd692x0 based devices,
every manager (for example PD69208M) is own power domain. There are
following limiting factors:
                          PI 1
                   L4    /
		 PD69208M - PI 2
              L3 //      \
 L1      L2     //        PI 3
PSU ============'
                \\        PI 4
                 \\      /
		 PD69208M - PI 5
                         \
			  PI 6

L1 - limits defined by Power Supply Unit
L2 - Limits defined by main supply rail ob PCB
L3 - Limits defined by rail attached to one specific manager
L4 - Limits defined by manager. In case of PD69208M it is Max 0.627A
(for all or per port?)

Assuming PSU provides enough budget to covert Max supported current for
every manager, then the limiting factor is actual manager. It means,
setting prio for PI 4 in relation to PI 1 makes no real sense, because
it is in different power domain.

User will not understand why devices fail to provide enough power by
attaching two device to one domain and not failing by attaching to
different domains. Except we provide this information to the user space.

Yes I agree, but I thought this could be done at the driver level specified in
the power limit ranges for now.
I don't really know the Power Domain API but I don't think it can currently
support what you are expecting for PSE. Maybe through the regulator API, or
something specific to PSE API.
Maybe we should define the power domain PSE concept as it seems something PSE
specific.

Should the rail really have an impact on power limit? I am not a hardware
designer but having limit defined by the rails seems the best way to create
magic smoke.
Don't know how you find this 0.627A value but it seems a bit low. Port current
limit is 1300mA according to the datasheet.

I first though that hardware should support all ports being powered at the same
time. Indeed this might not be the case be and there is a command to configure
the power bank (PD69208M) power limit.

In fact it does for our case as the PD692x0 consider all the ports in the same
power domain. There is no mention of port priority per PD69208M.
We can only get PD69208M events and status.

What you are explaining seems neat on the paper but I don't know the best way
to implement it. It needs more brainstorming.

Is it ok for you if we go further with this patch series and continue talking
about PSE power domain alongside?
It should not be necessary to be supported with port priority as the two PSE
supported controller can behave autonomously on a power domain.
I hope I will have time in the project to add its support when we will have a
more precise idea of how.
