We want to make the function more generic so that it can be used by
other UDP tunnel implementations such as geneve and vxlan. To do that,
add the following arguments:
- source and destination UDP port;
- ifindex of the output interface, needed by vxlan;
- the tos, because in some cases it is not taken from struct
ip_tunnel_info (for example, when it's inherited from the inner
packet);
- the dst cache, because not all tunnel types (e.g. vxlan) want to
use the one from struct ip_tunnel_info.
With these parameters, the function no longer needs the full struct
ip_tunnel_info as argument and we can pass only the relevant part of
it (struct ip_tunnel_key).

At the moment ip_route_output_tunnel() is used only by bareudp.
Ideally, other UDP tunnel implementations should use it, but to do so
the function needs to accept new parameters that are specific for UDP

Simplify logic for rspq_check_napi.
Drop redundant and wrong napi_is_scheduled call as it's not race free

pending or not.
rspq_check_napi main logic is to check if is_new_response is true and
check if a napi is not scheduled. The result of this function is then
used to detect if we are missing some interrupt and act on top of
this... With this knowing, we can rework and simplify the logic and make

Function i40e_read_pba_string() is currently unused but will be used
by subsequent patch to provide board ID via devlink device info.
The function reads PBA block from NVM so it cannot be called during
adapter reset and as we would like to provide PBA ID via devlink
info it is better to read the PBA ID during i40e_probe() and cache
it in i40e_hw structure to avoid a waiting for potential adapter
reset in devlink info callback.
So...
- Remove pba_num and pba_num_size arguments from the function,
allocate resource managed buffer to store PBA ID string and
save resulting pointer to i40e_hw->pba_id field
- Make the function void as the PBA ID can be missing and in this
case (or in case of NVM reading failure) the i40e_hw->pba_id
will be NULL
- Rename the function to i40e_get_pba_string() to align with other
functions like i40e_get_oem_version() i40e_get_port_mac_addr()...
- Call this function on init during i40e_probe()

The function formats NVM version string according adapter's

the reported version is with format:
"<gen>.<snap>.<release>"

Additionally convert NVM/OEM version mask macros to use GENMASK and

When we are trying to timestamp a TX packet, there may be
occasions when the TX timestamp register is still not
updated with the latest timestamp even if the timestamp
packet descriptor is marked as complete.
This usually happens in cases where the system is under
stress or flow control is affecting the transmit side.
We will solve this problem by saving the snapshot of the
timestamp register when we are posting the TX descriptor.
At this time, the register contains previously timestamped
packet's value and valid timestamp of the current packet must
be different than this.
Upon completion of the current descriptor, we will check if
the timestamp register is updated or not before timestamping
the skb. If not updated, we will schedule the ptp worker to
fetch the updated time later and timestamp the skb.
Also now we restrict number of outstanding PTP TX packet
requests to 1.

Data center server CPUs number keeps getting larger with time.
Currently, our driver limits the number of channels to 128.
Maximum channels number is enforced and bounded by hardcoded
defines (en.h/MLX5E_MAX_NUM_CHANNELS) even though the device and machine

Refactor current implementation in order to handle further channels.
The maximum supported channels number will be increased in the followup
patch.
Introduce RQT size calculation/allocation scheme below:
1) Preserve current RQT size of 256 for channels number up to 128 (the
old limit).
2) For greater channels number, RQT size is calculated by multiplying
the channels number by 2 and rounding up the result to the nearest
power of 2. If the calculated RQT size exceeds the maximum supported
size by the NIC, fallback to this maximum RQT size
(1 << log_max_rqt_size).
Since RQT size is no more static, allocate and free the indirection

When the system boots into the crash dump kernel after a panic, the ice
networking device may still have pending transactions that can cause errors
or machine checks when the device is re-enabled. This can prevent the crash
dump kernel from loading the driver or collecting the crash data.
To avoid this issue, perform a function level reset (FLR) on the ice device
via PCIe config space before enabling it on the crash kernel. This will
clear any outstanding transactions and stop all queues and interrupts.
Restore the config space after the FLR, otherwise it was found in testing
that the driver wouldn't load successfully.
The following sequence causes the original issue:
- Load the ice driver with modprobe ice
- Enable SR-IOV with 2 VFs: echo 2 > /sys/class/net/eth0/device/sriov_num_vfs
- Trigger a crash with echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
- Load the ice driver again (or let it load automatically) with modprobe ice
- The system crashes again during pcim_enable_device()

The hardware provides the indexes of the first and the last available
queue and VF. From the indexes, the driver calculates the numbers of
queues and VFs. In theory, a faulty device might say the last index is
smaller than the first index. In that case, the driver's calculation
would underflow, it would attempt to write to non-existent registers
outside of the ioremapped range and crash.
I ran into this not by having a faulty device, but by an operator error.
I accidentally ran a QE test meant for i40e devices on an ice device.
The test used 'echo i40e > /sys/...ice PCI device.../driver_override',
bound the driver to the device and crashed in one of the wr32 calls in
i40e_clear_hw.
Add checks to prevent underflows in the calculations of num_queues and
num_vfs. With this fix, the wrong device probing reports errors and
returns a failure without crashing.
