makes it easier for the next person to understand and update.
Also, remove the dividing the ITR value by 2 when latency
driven because the ITR values are already so low for 100Gbps

This patch adds a new function ice_pf_dcb_cfg (and related helpers)
which applies the DCB configuration obtained from the firmware. As
part of this, VSIs/netdevs are updated with traffic class information.
This patch requires a bit of a refactor of existing code.
1. For a MIB change event, the associated VSI is closed and brought up
again. The gap between closing and opening the VSI can cause a race
condition. Fix this by grabbing the rtnl_lock prior to closing the
VSI and then only free it after re-opening the VSI during a MIB
change event.
2. ice_sched_query_elem is used in ice_sched.c and with this patch, in
ice_dcb.c as well. However, ice_dcb.c is not built when CONFIG_DCB is
unset. This results in namespace warnings (ice_sched.o: Externally
defined symbols with no external references) when CONFIG_DCB is unset.
To avoid this move ice_sched_query_elem from ice_sched.c to
ice_common.c.

In the case where PTP is running on the hardware clock, but the kernel
system time is not being synced, a device reset can mess up the clock
time.
This occurs because we reset the clock time based on the kernel time
every reset. This causes us to potentially completely reset the PTP
time, and can cause unexpected behavior in programs like ptp4l.
Avoid this by saving the PTP time prior to device reset, and then
restoring using that time after the reset.
Directly restoring the PTP time we saved isn't perfect, because time
should have continued running, but the clock will essentially be stopped
during the reset. This is still better than the current solution of
assuming that the PTP HW clock is synced to the CLOCK_REALTIME.
We can do even better, by saving the ktime and calculating
a differential, using ktime_get(). This is based on CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and
allows us to get a fairly precise measure of the time difference between
saving and restoring the time.
Using this, we can update the saved PTP time, and use that as the value
to write to the hardware clock registers. This, of course is not perfect.
However, it does help ensure that the PTP time is restored as close as
feasible to the time it should have been if the reset had not occurred.
During device initialization, continue using the system time as the
source for the creation of the PTP clock, since this is the best known
current time source at driver load.

This patch introduces DDP (Dynamic Device Personalization) which allows

frames. To load DDP profiles it utilizes ethtool flash feature. The files
with recipes must be located in /var/lib/firmware directory. Afterwards
the recipe can be loaded by invoking:
ethtool -f <if_name> <file_name> 100
ethtool -f <if_name> - 100
See further details of this feature in the i40e documentation, or
visit
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/ethernet/dynamic-device-personalization-brief.html
The driver shall verify DDP profile can be loaded in accordance with
the rules:
* Package with Group ID 0 are exclusive and can only be loaded the first.
* Packages with Group ID 0x01-0xFE can only be loaded simultaneously
with the packages from the same group.
* Packages with Group ID 0xFF are compatible with all other packages.

mmiowb() is now implied by spin_unlock() on architectures that require
it, so there is no reason to call it from driver code. This patch was
generated using coccinelle:
@mmiowb@
@@
- mmiowb();
and invoked as:
$ for d in drivers include/linux/qed sound; do \
spatch --include-headers --sp-file mmiowb.cocci --dir $d --in-place; done
NOTE: mmiowb() has only ever guaranteed ordering in conjunction with
spin_unlock(). However, pairing each mmiowb() removal in this patch with
the corresponding call to spin_unlock() is not at all trivial, so there
is a small chance that this change may regress any drivers incorrectly
relying on mmiowb() to order MMIO writes between CPUs using lock-free
synchronisation. If you've ended up bisecting to this commit, you can
reintroduce the mmiowb() calls using wmb() instead, which should restore
the old behaviour on all architectures other than some esoteric ia64
systems.

Minor comment merge conflict in mlx5.
Staging driver has a fixup due to the skb->xmit_more changes
in 'net-next', but was removed in 'net'.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
There are two reasons for this.
First, the xmit_more flag conceptually doesn't fit into the skb, as
xmit_more is not a property related to the skb.
Its only a hint to the driver that the stack is about to transmit another
packet immediately.
Second, it was only done this way to not have to pass another argument
to ndo_start_xmit().
We can place xmit_more in the softnet data, next to the device recursion.
The recursion counter is already written to on each transmit. The "more"
indicator is placed right next to it.
Drivers can use the netdev_xmit_more() helper instead of skb->xmit_more
to check the "more packets coming" hint.
skb->xmit_more is retained (but always 0) to not cause build breakage.
This change takes care of the simple s/skb->xmit_more/netdev_xmit_more()/
conversions. Remaining drivers are converted in the next patches.
