IEEE 802.1Q-2018 clause 6.7.2 Frame preemption specifies that each
packet priority can be assigned to a "frame preemption status" value of
either "express" or "preemptible". Express priorities are transmitted by
the local device through the eMAC, and preemptible priorities through
the pMAC (the concepts of eMAC and pMAC come from the 802.3 MAC Merge
layer).
The FP adminStatus is defined per packet priority, but 802.1Q clause
12.30.1.1.1 framePreemptionAdminStatus also says that:
| Priorities that all map to the same traffic class should be
| constrained to use the same value of preemption status.
It is impossible to ignore the cognitive dissonance in the standard
here, because it practically means that the FP adminStatus only takes
distinct values per traffic class, even though it is defined per
priority.
I can see no valid use case which is prevented by having the kernel take
the FP adminStatus as input per traffic class (what we do here).
In addition, this also enforces the above constraint by construction.
User space network managers which wish to expose FP adminStatus per
priority are free to do so; they must only observe the prio_tc_map of
the netdev (which presumably is also under their control, when
constructing the mqprio netlink attributes).
The reason for configuring frame preemption as a property of the Qdisc
layer is that the information about "preemptible TCs" is closest to the
place which handles the num_tc and prio_tc_map of the netdev. If the
UAPI would have been any other layer, it would be unclear what to do
with the FP information when num_tc collapses to 0. A key assumption is
that only mqprio/taprio change the num_tc and prio_tc_map of the netdev.
Not sure if that's a great assumption to make.
Having FP in tc-mqprio can be seen as an implementation of the use case
defined in 802.1Q Annex S.2 "Preemption used in isolation". There will
be a separate implementation of FP in tc-taprio, for the other use
cases.

The taprio qdisc will need to reconstruct a struct tc_mqprio_qopt from
netdev settings once more in a future patch, but this code was already
written twice, once in taprio and once in mqprio.
Refactor the code to a helper in the common mqprio library.

There is a lot of code in taprio which is "borrowed" from mqprio.
It makes sense to put a stop to the "borrowing" and start actually
reusing code.
Because taprio and mqprio are built as part of different kernel modules,
code reuse can only take place either by writing it as static inline
(limiting), putting it in sch_generic.o (not generic enough), or
creating a third auto-selectable kernel module which only holds library
code. I opted for the third variant.
In a previous change, mqprio gained support for reverse TC:TXQ mappings,
something which taprio still denies. Make taprio use the same validation
logic so that it supports this configuration as well.
The taprio code didn't enforce TXQ overlaps in txtime-assist mode and
that looks intentional, even if I've no idea why that might be. Preserve
that, but add a comment.
There isn't any dedicated MAINTAINERS entry for mqprio, so nothing to
update there.
