mainlining shenanigans
d1ec975f9f
Fix a bug in which the receiving of packets can stop in the zero-copy
driver. Ice HW ignores 3 lower bits from QRX_TAIL register, which means
that tail is bumped only on intervals of 8. Currently with XSK RX
batching in place, ice_alloc_rx_bufs_zc() clears the status_error0 only
of the last descriptor that has been allocated/taken from the XSK buffer
pool. status_error0 includes DD bit that is looked upon by the
ice_clean_rx_irq_zc() to tell if a descriptor can be processed.
The bug can be triggered when driver updates the ntu but not the
QRX_TAIL, so HW wouldn't have a chance to write to the ready
descriptors. Later on driver moves the ntc to the mentioned set of
descriptors and interprets them as a ready to be processed, since
corresponding DD bits were not cleared nor any writeback has happened
that would clear it. This can then lead to ntc == ntu case which means
that ring is empty and no further packet processing.
Fix the XSK traffic hang that can be observed when l2fwd scenario from
xdpsock is used by making sure that status_error0 is cleared for each
descriptor that is fed to HW and therefore we are sure that driver will
not processed non-valid DD bits. This will also prevent the driver from
processing the descriptors that were allocated in favor of the
previously processed ones, but writeback didn't happen yet.

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 Restructured Text 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.
