3b60306690 bnx2x: reduced sparse warnings
This patch reduces sparse warnings in the bnx2x code,
mostly by changing functions into static and changing
initialization of structures.

51c1a580b1 bnx2x: revised driver prints
We've revised driver prints, changing the mask of existing prints
to allow better control over the debug messages, added prints to
error scenarios, removed unnecessary prints and corrected some spelling.
Please note that this patch contains lines with over 80 characters,
as string messages were kept in a single line.

c0ea452e42 bnx2x: fix memory leak in bnx2x_init_firmware()
When cycling the interface down and up, bnx2x_init_firmware() knows that
the firmware is already loaded, but nevertheless it allocates certain
arrays anew (init_data, init_ops, init_ops_offsets, iro_arr). The old
arrays are leaked.

Fix the leaks by returning early if the firmware was already loaded.
Because if the firmware is loaded, so are the arrays.

2b88f2de30 net: dcb: getnumtcs()/setnumtcs() should return an int
{g|s}etnumtcs() today returns a u8 that is only used by the DCB code
to verify no error occurred. Today the driver implementations return
negative error codes which end up being non-zero so the logic works
out but triggers some sparse warnings.

To fix the sparse warnings convert the return value to an int.

fe603b4d68 bnx2x: add gro_check
The patch provides workaround for BUG in FW 7.2.16,
which in GRO mode may miscalculate buffer and
place on SGE one frag less than it could.
It may happen only for some MTUs, we mark these MTUs
with gro_check flag during device initialization or
MTU change.

Next FW should include fix for the issue and the
patch could be reverted.

621b4d66b2 use FW 7.2.16
The patch integrates FW 7.2.16 HSI and implements driver
part of GRO flow.

FW 7.2.16 adds the ability to aggregate packets for GRO
(and not just LRO) and also fixes some bugs.

1. Added new aggregation mode: GRO. In this mode packets are aggregated
   such that the original packets can be reconstructed by the OS.
2. 57712 HW bug workaround - initialized all CAM TM registers to 0x32.
3. Adding the FCoE statistics structures to the BNX2X HSI.
4. Wrong configuration of TX HW input buffer size may cause theoretical
   performance effect. Performed configuration fix.
5. FCOE - Arrival of packets beyond task IO size can lead to crash.
   Fix firmware data-in flow.
6. iSCSI - In rare cases of on-chip termination the graceful termination
   timer hangs, and the termination doesn't complete. Firmware fix to MSL
   timer tolerance.
7. iSCSI - Chip hangs when target sends FIN out-of-order or with isles
   open at the initiator side. Firmware implementation corrected to drop
   FIN received out-of-order or with isles still open.
8. iSCSI - Chip hangs when in case of retransmission not aligned to 4-bytes
   from the beginning of iSCSI PDU. Firmware implementation corrected
   to support arbitrary aligned retransmissions.
9. iSCSI - Arrival of target-initiated NOP-IN during intense ISCSI traffic
   might lead to crash. Firmware fix to relevant flow.

3f61cd879c bnx2x: Fix mem leak in bnx2x_tpa_stop() if build_skb() fails.
We allocate memory for 'new_data' with kmalloc(). If we get the memory
we then try to build_skb() and if that should fail (which it can) we
do not enter 'if (likely(skb)) {' and actually use 'new_data' but
instead fall through to the 'drop:' label and end up returning from
the function without ever assigning 'new'data' to anything or freeing
it. That leaks the memory allocated to 'new_data'.

This patch fixes the memory leak by doing a kfree(new_data) in the
case where build_skb() fails (or where allocation of 'new_data' itself
fails, but in taht case it's just a harmless kfree(NULL)).

95c6c6165e bnx2x: Recovery flow bug fixes
1. Sample mcp pulse and mcp sequence in nic load instead of in init_one
as they may change by the time we want to use them.

2. Allow cnic to access device during nic load (by adding a new "LOADING" state
to recovery flow). This prevents the unnecessary cnic timeout which resulted
by cnic attempting to access because nic is loading, but being blocked because
of the Recovery state.

3. Issue 'fake' driver load command to mcp when last driver unloads to prevent
mcp from taking ownership. When recovery is complete unload fake driver to
allow mcp to initialize the hardware before first driver loads.

889b9af34f bnx2x: Track active PFs with bitmap
The recovery register (to which a hardware lock has been added in previous
patch) is used amongst other things to track the active PFs. The old
implementation which used a per path counter is not viable in a virtualized
environment where a pf may increment the counter and then have the kernel
crash around it preventing the counter from ever reaching zero.
In the new implementation the scenario described will result in the PF timing
out against the mcp, which will clear the PF's bit in the bitmask allowing
recovery process to proceed.

f16da43b5d bnx2x: Lock PF-common resources
Use hardware locks to protect resources common to several Physical Functions. In
a virtualized environment the RTNL lock only protects a PF's driver against
the PFs sharing it's VMs with regard to device resources. Other PFs may reside
in other VMs under other OSs, and are not subject to the lock. Such resources
which were previously protected implicitly by the RTNL lock must now be
protected explicitly with dedicated HW locks.

d1e2d9660e bnx2x: Loaded Firmware Version Validation
In a virtualized environment it is possible for a loading driver to discover
that Firmware is already loaded to the device, and that this FW does not match
its own. This can happen for example if different Physical Functions are
Assigned to different VMs in which different driver versions are loaded. The
code in this patch ensures that only drivers with matching FW are loaded over
the device, and that in the case described above where the Firmware version
doesn't match the driver load is aborted.
