In the RX code path, we current use the bnxt_napi struct pointer to
identify the associated RX/CP rings. Change it to use the struct
bnxt_cp_ring_info pointer instead since there are now up to 2
CP rings per MSIX.

RSS context allocation and RSS indirection table setup are very different
on the new chip. Refactor bnxt_setup_vnic() to call 2 different functions
to set up RSS for the vnic based on chip type. On the new chip, the
number of RSS contexts and the indirection table size depends on the
number of RX rings. Each indirection table entry is also different
on the new chip since ring groups are no longer used.

On the new 57500 chips, we need to allocate one RSS context for every
64 RX rings. In previous chips, only one RSS context per vnic is
required regardless of the number of RX rings. So increase the max
RSS context array count to 8.
Hardware ring groups are not used on the new chips. Note that the
software ring group structure is still maintained in the driver to
keep track of the rings associated with the vnic.

On the new 57500 chips, we allocate/free one CP ring for each RX ring or

as TX events will no longer be stuck behind RX events.

Firmware ring allocation semantics are slightly different for most
ring types on 57500 chips. Allocation/deallocation for NQ rings are
also added for the new chips.
A CP ring handle is also added so that from the NQ interrupt event,
we can locate the CP ring.

On the new 57500 chips, getting the associated CP ring ID associated with
an RX ring or TX ring is different than before. On the legacy chips,
we find the associated ring group and look up the CP ring ID. On the
57500 chips, each RX ring and TX ring has a dedicated CP ring even if
they share the MSIX. Use these helper functions at appropriate places
to get the CP ring ID.

On 57500 chips, the original bnxt_cp_ring_info struct now refers to the
NQ. bp->cp_nr_rings refer to the number of NQs on 57500 chips. There
are now 2 pointers for the CP rings associated with RX and TX rings.
Modify bnxt_alloc_cp_rings() and bnxt_free_cp_rings() accordingly.
With multiple CP rings per NAPI, we need to add a pointer in
bnxt_cp_ring_info struct to point back to the bnxt_napi struct.

The ring reservation functions have to be modified for P5 chips in the
following ways:
- bnxt_cp_ring_info structs map to internal NQs as well as CP rings.
- Ring groups are not used.
- 1 CP ring must be available for each RX or TX ring.
- number of RSS contexts to reserve is multiples of 64 RX rings.
- RFS currently not supported.
Also, RX AGG rings are only used for jumbo frames, so we need to
unconditionally call bnxt_reserve_rings() in __bnxt_open_nic()
to see if we need to reserve AGG rings in case MTU has changed.

Store the maximum MSIX capability in PCIe config. space earlier. When
we call firmware to query capability, we need to compare the PCIe
MSIX max count with the firmware count and use the smaller one as
the MSIX count for 57500 (P5) chips.
The new chips don't use ring groups. But previous chips do and
the existing logic limits the available rings based on resource
calculations including ring groups. Setting the max ring groups to
the max rx rings will work on the new chips without changing the
existing logic.

57500 series is a new chip class (P5) that requires some driver changes
in the next several patches. This adds basic chip ID, doorbells, and
the notification queue (NQ) structures. Each MSIX is associated with an
NQ instead of a CP ring in legacy chips. Each NQ has up to 2 associated
CP rings for RX and TX. The same bnxt_cp_ring_info struct will be used
for the NQ.

This commit makes it possible to use devlink to split the 100G CXP
Netronome into two 40G interfaces. Currently when you ask for 2
interfaces, the math in src/nfp_devlink.c:nfp_devlink_port_split
calculates that you want 5 lanes per port because for some reason
eth_port.port_lanes=10 (shouldn't this be 12 for CXP?). What we really
want when asking for 2 breakout interfaces is 4 lanes per port. This
commit makes that happen by calculating based on 8 lanes if 10 are
present.

In dual-emac mode the cpsw driver sends directed packets, that means
that packets go to the directed port, but an ALE lookup is performed
to determine untagged egress only. It means that on tx side no need
to add port bit for ALE mcast entry mask, and basically ALE entry
for port identification is needed only on rx side.
So, add only host port in dual_emac mode as used directed
transmission, and no need in one more port. For single port boards
and switch mode all ports used, as usual, so no changes for them.
Also it simplifies farther changes.
In other words, mcast entries for dual-emac should behave exactly
like unicast. It also can help avoid leaking packets between ports
with same vlan on h/w level if ports could became members of same vid.
So now, for instance, if mcast address 33:33:00:00:00:01 is added then
entries in ALE table:
vid = 1, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1
vid = 2, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1
Instead of:
vid = 1, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x3
vid = 2, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x5
With the same considerations, set only host port for unregistered
mcast for dual-emac mode in case of IFF_ALLMULTI is set, exactly like
it's done in cpsw_ale_set_allmulti().

veth: XDP stats improvement
ndo_xdp_xmit in veth did not update packet counters as described in [1].
Also, current implementation only updates counters on tx side so rx side
events like XDP_DROP were not collected.
This series implements the missing accounting as well as support for
ethtool per-queue stats in veth.
Patch 1: Update drop counter in ndo_xdp_xmit.
Patch 2: Update packet and byte counters for all XDP path, and drop
counter on XDP_DROP.
Patch 3: Support per-queue ethtool stats for XDP counters.
Note that counters are maintained on per-queue basis for XDP but not
otherwise (per-cpu and atomic as before). This is because 1) tx path in
veth is essentially lockless so we cannot update per-queue stats on tx,
and 2) rx path is net core routine (process_backlog) which cannot update
per-queue based stats when XDP is disabled. On the other hand there are
real rxqs and napi handlers for veth XDP, so update per-queue stats on
rx for XDP packets, and use them to calculate tx counters as well,
contrary to the existing non-XDP counters.

3) Adds support to initialize/cleanup netdevs that are not created
by mlx5 driver.
4) Change mlx5e netdevice layer to accept the pre-allocated netdevice
queue number.
5) Initialize mlx5e generic structures in one place to be used for all
netdevs types NIC/representors/IPoIB (both mlx5 allocated and

FDDI: DEC FDDIcontroller 700 TURBOchannel adapter support
This is an update to <http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/342737/>. I
believe I have addressed all the requests made in the previous review
round.
There is still one `checkpatch.pl' warning remaining:
WARNING: quoted string split across lines
+ pr_info("%s: ROM rev. %.4s, firmware rev. %.4s, RMC rev. %.4s, "
+ "SMT ver. %u\n", fp->name, rom_rev, fw_rev, rmc_rev, smt_ver);
total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 2458 lines checked
however I think the value of staying within 80 columns is higher than the
value of having the string on a single line. This is because with all the
formatting specifiers there it is not directly greppable based on the
final output produced to the kernel log on one hand, e.g.:
tc2: ROM rev. 1.0, firmware rev. 1.2, RMC rev. A, SMT ver. 1
while it can be easily tracked down by grepping for an obvious substring
such as "RMC rev" on the other.
The issue with MMIO barriers I discussed in the course of the original
review turned out mostly irrelevant to this driver, because as I have
learnt in a recent Alpha/Linux discussion starting here:
<https://marc.info/?i=alpine.LRH.2.02.1808161556450.13597%20()%20file01%20!%20intranet%20!%20prod%20!%20int%20!%20rdu2%20!%20redhat%20!%20com>
our MMIO API mandates the `readX' and `writeX' accessors to be strongly
ordered with respect to each other, even if that is not implicitly
enforced by hardware.
Consequently I have removed all the explicit ordering barriers and
instead submitted a fix for MIPS MMIO implementation, which currently does
not guarantee strong ordering (the MIPS architecture does not define bus
ordering rules except in terms of SYNC barriers), as recorded here:
<https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/project/linux-mips/list/?series=1538>.
Enforcing strong MMIO ordering can be costly however and is often
unnecessary, e.g. when using PIO to access network frame data in onboard
packet memory. I have therefore retained the information that would be
lost by the removal of barriers, by defining accessor wrappers suffixed by
`_o' and `_u', for accesses that have to be ordered and can be unordered
respectively.
If we ever have an API defined for weakly-ordered MMIO accesses, then
these wrappers can be redefined accordingly. Right now they all expand to
the respective `_relaxed' accessors, because, again, enforcing the
ordering WRT DMA transfers can be costly and we don't need it here except
in one place, where I chose to use explicit `dma_rmb' instead.
Similarly I have replaced the completion barriers with a read back from
the respective MMIO location (all adapter MMIO registers can be read with
no side effects incurred), which will serve its purpose on the basis of
MMIO being strongly ordered (although a read from TURBOchannel is going to
be slower than `iob', making the delay incurred unnecessarily longer).
And last but not least, I have split off the SMT Tx network tap support
to a separate change, 2/2 in this series, so that it does not block the
driver proper and can be discussed separately.
I think it has value in that it makes the view of the outgoing network
traffic complete, as if one actually physically tapped into the outgoing
line of the ring, between the station being examined and its downstream
neighbour. Without this part only traffic passed from applications
through the whole protocol stack can be captured and this is only a part
of the view.
With the `dev_queue_xmit_nit' interface now exported it's only
`ptype_all' that remains private, and to define a properly abstracted API
I propose to provide am exported `dev_nit_active' predicate that tells
whether any taps are active. This predicate is then used accordingly.
NB if there is a long-term maintenance concern about the `dev_nit_active'
predicate, then well, corresponding inline code currently present in
`xmit_one' has to be maintained anyway, and if the resulting changes
require `defza' to be updated accordingly, then I am going to handle it;
after some 20 years with Linux it's not that I am going to disappear
anywhere anytime. And once I am dead, which is inevitably going to happen
sooner or later, then the driver can simply be ripped from the kernel.
Though I suspect that at that point no DECstation Linux users may survive
anymore, even though hardware, being as sturdy as it is, likely will.
I have a patch for `tcpdump' to actually decode SMT frames, which I plan
to upstream sometime. Here's a sample of SMT traffic captured through the
`defza' driver in a small network of 4 stations and no concentrators,
printed in the most verbose mode:
