Geetha sowjanya cec2ceb35c octeontx2-af: Workaround SQM/PSE stalls by disabling sticky
[ Upstream commit 70e9a5760a ]

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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
