octeontx2-af: Workaround SQM/PSE stalls by disabling sticky
[ Upstream commit
70e9a5760abfb6338d63994d4de6b0778ec795d6 ]
NIX SQ manager sticky mode is known to cause stalls when multiple SQs
share an SMQ and transmit concurrently. Additionally, PSE may deadlock
on transitions between sticky and non-sticky transmissions. There is
also a credit drop issue observed when certain condition clocks are
gated.
work around these hardware errata by:
- Disabling SQM sticky operation:
- Clear TM6 (bit 15)
- Clear TM11 (bit 14)
- Disabling sticky → non-sticky transition path that can deadlock PSE:
- Clear TM5 (bit 23)
- Preventing credit drops by keeping the control-flow clock enabled:
- Set TM9 (bit 21)
These changes are applied via NIX_AF_SQM_DBG_CTL_STATUS. With this
configuration the SQM/PSE maintain forward progress under load without
credit loss, at the cost of disabling sticky optimizations.
