40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-09-29
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.
Jake provides several of the changes starting with the renaming of a
variable to clarify what the value is actually calculating. Found we
were misusing the __I40E_RECOVERY_PENDING bit to determine when we
should actually request a new IRQ in i40e_setup_misc_vector(), which
lead to a design mistake, so to resolve the issue, use a separate
state bit for miscellaneous IRQ setup and fix up the design while we
are at it. Cleaned up the old legacy PM support in the driver since
we support the newer generic PM callbacks. Fixed a failure to
hibernate issue, where on some platforms with a large number of CPUs,
we would allocate many IRQ vectors which we would try to migrate to
CPU0 when hibernating.
Sudheer cleans up a check for unqualified module inside i40e_up_complete()
because the link state information is in flux at time, so log messages
are getting logged with incorrect link state information. Also provided
additional log message cleanups and simplify member variable access in
the printing of the link messages.
Mariusz relaxes the firmware check since Fortville and Fort Park NICs
can and do have different firmware versions, so only warn for older
Fortville firmware. Fixed an errata with a flow director statistic that
was not wrapping as expected, simply reset after reading.
Mitch prevents consternation by lowering the log level to debug on a
message seen regularly on VF reset or unload, which is meaningless under
normal circumstances. Refactor the firmware version checking since
Fortville and Fort Park devices can have different firmware versions.
Alan fixes a ring to vector mapping, where the past implementation
attempted to map each Tx and Rx ring to its own vector, however we use
combined queues so we should be mapping the Tx/Rx rings together on one
vector. Adds the ability for the VF to request a different number of
queues allocated to it.
