02246a7f96 sfc: Prepare to bind the sfc driver to the VF.
Added efx_nic_type structure for VF.
Mapped a different BAR for VF as it uses BAR 0 for memory.
Added functions sriov_init and sriov_fini.

6d8aaaf6f7 sfc: create VEB vswitch and vport above default firmware setup
Adds functions to allocate and free vswitches and vports; vadaptors
are automatically allocated and freed when TX/RX queues are
initialised and finalised.  This vswitching structure is only created
if the firmware supports it, so a check that full-featured firmware
is running is performed first.

If the MC resets, the vswitching infrastructure will need to be
recreated, so mark the "must_probe_vswitching" flag when an MC reboot
is detected.

Don't try to create a vswitch if vf-count=0

This allocation of vswitches and vports does not currently support
configuring VLAN tags, but that can be added in a future change.

45b2449e3f sfc: record the PF's vport ID in nic_data
The default port ID of EVB_PORT_ID_ASSIGNED is a "magic" number
for the MCFW to select the physical port of the PF.  If other
vswitches and vports are created on top of the default firmware
configuration, the ID of the newly created vport is then required
when passed to MCDI commands.  Currently, this doesn't happen so
the vport_id is never changed, but a subsequent patch will change
this behaviour so that other vswitches and vports are created.

The vport_id recorded in nic_data is only relevant for PFs.
VFs will have their vports created by their parent PF, and in
that case the parent PF will record the vport ID of each VF.
For a VF, nic_data->vport_id is expected to remain at the default
value.

8d9f9dd448 sfc: Record [rt]x_dpcpu_fw_id in EF10 nic_data
The (future) code to add/remove vswitches and vports will be
dependent on the firmware variant.
To simplify the checking of the firmware variant, record
values for rx_dpcpu_fw_id and tx_dpcpu_fw_id in EF10 nic_data.

There was only one place where this was previously used:
efx_mcdi_print_fwver() in ethtool.c.
The MC_CMD_GET_CAPABILITIES can be replaced and the values from
nic_data used instead.

Note that the printing of "?" if the MC command fails or if the
outlength is incorrect no longer apply, because errors are returned
in efx_ef10_init_datapath_caps() in both of these cases.

7fa8d54704 sfc: Own header for nic-specific sriov functions, single instance of netdev_ops and sriov removed from Falcon code
By putting all the efx_{siena,ef10}_sriov_* declarations in
{siena,ef10}_sriov.h, ensure they cannot be called from nic-generic code.
Also fixes up an instance of this, where mcdi.c was calling
efx_siena_sriov_flr.

The single instance of netdev_ops should call general high level
functions that can then call something adapter specific in efx_nic_type.
We should only do adapter specialisation via efx_nic_type.

Removal of sriov functionality from the Falcon code means that tests
are needed for the presence of some callbacks.

Andrew Lunn says:

====================
More Marvell DSA refactring and fixup

This patch setup continues the refactoring and cleanup of the Marvell
DSA drivers.

Patch #1 Centralizes the duplicated parts of port setup and global
setup into the shared mv88e6xxx.

Patch #2 Centralizes looping over the ports setting them up

Patch #3 Uses mnemonics for the remaining register access in the
drivers.

Patch #4 The 6172 is actually a member of the 6352 family. This moves
the probe code into the correct driver.

Patch #5 Adds more members of the 6171 family to the 6171 driver. The
new devices are untested.

Patch #6 The 6185 is a member of the 6131 family. Add it to the probe
code of the 6131 driver.

Patch #7 and Patch #8 Simply the mutex's in mv88e6xxx.c. The SMI bus
is the bottleneck, not the granularity of the mutex's so simply the
code down to a single mutex.

Patch #8 Fixes a false positive lockdep splat, due to nested uses of
MDIO busses.

Patch #9 Fixes another false positive lockdep splat with the transmit
queue because of stacked Ethernet devices.

38e96b35cd net: axienet: Handle 0 packet receive gracefully
The AXI-DMA rx-delay interrupt can sometimes be triggered
when there are 0 outstanding packets received. This is due
to the fact that the receive function will greedily consume
as many packets as possible on interrupt. So if two packets
(with a very particular timing) arrive in succession they
will each cause the rx-delay interrupt, but the first interrupt
will consume both packets.
This means the second interrupt is a 0 packet receive.

This is mostly OK, except that the tail pointer register is
updated unconditionally on receive. Currently the tail pointer
is always set to the current bd-ring descriptor under
the assumption that the hardware has moved onto the next
descriptor. What this means for length 0 recv is the current
descriptor that the hardware is potentially yet to use will
be marked as the tail. This causes the hardware to think
its run out of descriptors deadlocking the whole rx path.

Fixed by updating the tail pointer to the most recent
successfully consumed descriptor.

Mahesh Bandewar says:

====================
Multicast processing in IPvlan

Dan Willems pointed out that autoconf in IPvlan is broken because of the
way broadcast bit gets set. Since broadcast processing is a real performance
drain, the broadcast bit in multicast filter was only set when the interface
was configured with IPv4 address. In autoconf scenario, when there are
no addresses configured; this logic did not work and it wouldn't allow
DHCPv4 to work. The only way was to add protocol specific hacks to avoid
processing unnecessary broadcast burdon.

This jugglery could be avoided if these multicast / broadcast packets are taken
out of fast-path and are processed in a work-queue. This will enable us to add
broadcast bit in all multicast filters without any impact on performance of
the virtual device. This patch series just does that.

f631c44bbe ipvlan: Always set broadcast bit in multicast filter
Earlier tricks of setting broadcast bit only when IPv4 address is added
onto interface are not good enough especially when autoconf comes in play.
Setting them on always is performance drag but now that multicast /
broadcast is not processed in fast-path; enabling broadcast will let
autoconf work correctly without affecting performance characteristics of
the device.

ba35f8588f ipvlan: Defer multicast / broadcast processing to a work-queue
Processing multicast / broadcast in fast path is performance draining
and having more links means more cloning and bringing performance
down further.

Broadcast; in particular, need to be given to all the virtual links.
Earlier tricks of enabling broadcast bit for IPv4 only interfaces are not
really working since it fails autoconf. Which means enabling broadcast
for all the links if protocol specific hacks do not have to be added into
the driver.

This patch defers all (incoming as well as outgoing) multicast traffic to
a work-queue leaving only the unicast traffic in the fast-path. Now if we
need to apply any additional tricks to further reduce the impact of this
(multicast / broadcast) type of traffic, it can be implemented while
processing this work without affecting the fast-path.

76061d99a3 Merge branch 'eth_proto_is_802_3'
Alexander Duyck says:

====================
Add eth_proto_is_802_3 to provide improved means of checking Ethertype

This patch series implements and makes use of eth_proto_is_802_3().  The
idea behind the function is to provide an optimized means of testing to
determine if a given Ethertype value is a length or 802.3 protocol number.
The standard path for this was to use ntohs(proto) and then perform a
comparison.  This adds a slight cost as it usually requires either a 16b
rotate or byte swap which can cost 1 cycle or more depending on the
processor.

I had previously addressed this for eth_type_trans, however in doing so I had
overlooked checking with sparse and had introduced a couple sparse warnings.
The first patch in this series fixes those sparse warnings as well as does
some additional optimization for big endian systems.  In addition it pushes
the code out into a separate function which can then be used in the other
patches to reduce the instruction count/processing time in those functions
as well.
