Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching
the header with the helpers).
The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used
most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

A NULL dev->dma_parms indicates either a bus that is not DMA capable or
grave bug in the implementation of the bus code.
There isn't much the driver can do in terms of error handling for either
case, so just warn and continue as DMA operations will fail anyway.

The mana_hwc_rx_event_handler() / mana_hwc_handle_resp() calls
complete(&ctx->comp_event) before posting the wqe back. It's
possible that other callers, like mana_create_txq(), start the
next round of mana_hwc_send_request() before the posting of wqe.
And if the HW is fast enough to respond, it can hit no_wqe error
on the HW channel, then the response message is lost. The mana
driver may fail to create queues and open, because of waiting for
the HW response and timed out.
Sample dmesg:
[ 528.610840] mana 39d4:00:02.0: HWC: Request timed out!
[ 528.614452] mana 39d4:00:02.0: Failed to send mana message: -110, 0x0
[ 528.618326] mana 39d4:00:02.0 enP14804s2: Failed to create WQ object: -110
To fix it, move posting of rx wqe before complete(&ctx->comp_event).

After napi_complete_done() is called when NAPI is polling in the current
process context, another NAPI may be scheduled and start running in
softirq on another CPU and may ring the doorbell before the current CPU
does. When combined with unnecessary rings when there is no need to arm
the CQ, it triggers error paths in the hardware.
This patch fixes this by calling napi_complete_done() after doorbell
rings. It limits the number of unnecessary rings when there is
no need to arm. MANA hardware specifies that there must be one doorbell
ring every 8 CQ wraparounds. This driver guarantees one doorbell ring as
soon as the number of consumed CQEs exceeds 4 CQ wraparounds. In practical
workloads, the 4 CQ wraparounds proves to be big enough that it rarely
exceeds this limit before all the napi weight is consumed.
To implement this, add a per-CQ counter cq->work_done_since_doorbell,
and make sure the CQ is armed as soon as passing 4 wraparounds of the CQ.

The MANA driver's RX buffer alloc_size is passed into napi_build_skb() to
create SKB. skb_shinfo(skb) is located at the end of skb, and its alignment
is affected by the alloc_size passed into napi_build_skb(). The size needs
to be aligned properly for better performance and atomic operations.
Otherwise, on ARM64 CPU, for certain MTU settings like 4000, atomic
operations may panic on the skb_shinfo(skb)->dataref due to alignment fault.
To fix this bug, add proper alignment to the alloc_size calculation.

As defined by the MANA Hardware spec, the queue size for DMA is 4KB
minimal, and power of 2. And, the HWC queue size has to be exactly
4KB.
To support page sizes other than 4KB on ARM64, define the minimal
queue size as a macro separately from the PAGE_SIZE, which we always
assumed it to be 4KB before supporting ARM64.
Also, add MANA specific macros and update code related to size
alignment, DMA region calculations, etc.

- Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".
- Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
series "Cover a guard gap corner case".
- Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".
- Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
"support multi-size THP numa balancing".
- Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".
- Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
"selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".
- Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".
- Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
permission page faults in the series
"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"
- GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
it GUP-fast".
- hugetlb fault code cleanups from Vishal Moola in "Hugetlb fault
path to use struct vm_fault".
- selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".
- Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
memory types works as intended.
- David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
follow_pte() fixes".
- David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".
- Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to
folio in KSM".
- Barry Song has added some sysfs stats for monitoring multi-size
THP's in the series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout
counters".
- Some zswap cleanups from Yosry Ahmed in the series "zswap
same-filled and limit checking cleanups".
- Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
documentation".
- Multi-size THPs get more work, this time from Lance Yang. His
series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free"
optimizes the freeing of these things.
- Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".
- Kemeng Shi then sent some maintenance work on top in the series
"Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".
- Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's
test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test.
- SeongJae Park adds some DAMON feature work in the series
"mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity access recheck"
"selftests/damon: add DAMOS quota goal test"
- Also some maintenance work in the series
"mm/damon/paddr: simplify page level access re-check for pageout"
"mm/damon: misc fixes and improvements"
- David Hildenbrand has disabled some known-to-fail selftests ni the
series "selftests: mm: cow: flag vmsplice() hugetlb tests as
XFAIL".
- memcg metadata storage optimizations from Shakeel Butt in "memcg:
reduce memory consumption by memcg stats".
- DAX fixes and maintenance work from Vishal Verma in the series
"dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking""
