Previously, the default number of transmit queues was 16. Due to
resource concerns, set to 8 queues instead. Still allow the user
to set more queues (max 16) if they like.
Since the driver is virtualized away from the physical NIC, the purpose
of multiple queues is purely to allow for parallel calls to the
hypervisor. Therefore, there is no noticeable effect on performance by
reducing queue count to 8.

netif_stop_all_queues must be called before calling H_FREE_LOGICAL_LAN.
As a result, we can remove the pool_config field from the ibmveth
adapter structure.
Some device configuration changes call ibmveth_close in order to free
the current resources held by the device. These functions then make
their changes and call ibmveth_open to reallocate and reserve resources
for the device.
Prior to this commit, the flag pool_config was used to tell ibmveth_close
that it should not halt the transmit queue. pool_config was introduced in
commit 860f242eb534 ("[PATCH] ibmveth change buffer pools dynamically")
to avoid interrupting the tx flow when making rx config changes. Since
then, other commits adopted this approach, even if making tx config
changes.
The issue with this approach was that the hypervisor freed all of
the devices control structures after the hcall H_FREE_LOGICAL_LAN
was performed but the transmit queues were never stopped. So the higher
layers in the network stack would continue transmission but any
H_SEND_LOGICAL_LAN hcall would fail with H_PARAMETER until the
hypervisor's structures for the device were allocated with the
H_REGISTER_LOGICAL_LAN hcall in ibmveth_open. This resulted in
no real networking harm but did cause several of these error
messages to be logged: "h_send_logical_lan failed with rc=-4"
So, instead of trying to keep the transmit queues alive during network
configuration changes, just stop the queues, make necessary changes then
restart the queues.

The `ndo_start_xmit` function is protected by a spinlock on the tx queue
being used to transmit the skb. Allow concurrent calls to
`ndo_start_xmit` by using more than one tx queue. This allows for
greater throughput when several jobs are trying to transmit data.
Introduce 16 tx queues (leave single rx queue as is) which each
correspond to one DMA mapped long term buffer.

Rather than DMA mapping and unmapping every outgoing skb, copy the skb
into a buffer that was mapped during the drivers open function. Copying
the skb and its frags have proven to be more time efficient than
mapping and unmapping. As an effect, performance increases by 3-5
Gbits/s.
Allocate and DMA map one continuous 64KB buffer at `ndo_open`. This
buffer is maintained until `ibmveth_close` is called. This buffer is
large enough to hold the largest possible linnear skb. During
`ndo_start_xmit`, copy the skb and all of it's frags into the continuous
buffer. By manually linnearizing all the socket buffers, time is saved
during memcpy as well as more efficient handling in FW.
As a result, we no longer need to worry about the firmware limitation
of handling a max of 6 frags. So, we only need to maintain 1 descriptor
instead of 6 and can hardcode 0 for the other 5 descriptors during
h_send_logical_lan.
Since, DMA allocation/mapping issues can no longer arise in xmit
functions, we can further reduce code size by removing the need for a
bounce buffer on DMA errors.

With the ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings function in core/ethtool.c,
ibmveth, netvsc, and virtio now use the core's helper function.
Funtionality changes that pertain to ibmveth driver include:
1. Changed the initial hardcoded link speed to 1GB.
2. Added support for allowing a user to change the reported link
speed via ethtool.
Functionality changes to the netvsc driver include:
1. When netvsc_get_link_ksettings is called, it will defer to the VF
device if it exists to pull accelerated networking values, otherwise
pull default or user-defined values.
2. Similarly, if netvsc_set_link_ksettings called and a VF device
exists, the real values of speed and duplex are changed.

Current largesend and checksum offload feature in ibmveth driver,
- Source VM sends the TCP packets with ip_summed field set as
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and TCP pseudo header checksum is placed in
checksum field
- CHECKSUM_PARTIAL flag in SKB will enable ibmveth driver to mark
"no checksum" and "checksum good" bits in transmit buffer descriptor
before the packet is delivered to pseries PowerVM Hypervisor
- If ibmveth has largesend capability enabled, transmit buffer descriptors
are market accordingly before packet is delivered to Hypervisor
(along with mss value for packets with length > MSS)
- Destination VM's ibmveth driver receives the packet with "checksum good"
bit set and so, SKB's ip_summed field is set with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
- If "largesend" bit was on, mss value is copied from receive descriptor
into SKB's gso_size and other flags are appropriately set for
packets > MSS size
- The packet is now successfully delivered up the stack in destination VM
The offloads described above works fine for TCP communication among VMs in
the same pseries server ( VM A <=> PowerVM Hypervisor <=> VM B )
We are now enabling support for OVS in pseries PowerVM environment. One of
our requirements is to have ibmveth driver configured in "Trunk" mode, when
they are used with OVS. This is because, PowerVM Hypervisor will no more
bridge the packets between VMs, instead the packets are delivered to
IO Server which hosts OVS to bridge them between VMs or to external
networks (flow shown below),
VM A <=> PowerVM Hypervisor <=> IO Server(OVS) <=> PowerVM Hypervisor
<=> VM B
In "IO server" the packet is received by inbound Trunk ibmveth and then
delivered to OVS, which is then bridged to outbound Trunk ibmveth (shown
below),
Inbound Trunk ibmveth <=> OVS <=> Outbound Trunk ibmveth
In this model, we hit the following issues which impacted the VM
communication performance,
- Issue 1: ibmveth doesn't support largesend and checksum offload features
when configured as "Trunk". Driver has explicit checks to prevent
enabling these offloads.
- Issue 2: SYN packet drops seen at destination VM. When the packet
originates, it has CHECKSUM_PARTIAL flag set and as it gets delivered to
IO server's inbound Trunk ibmveth, on validating "checksum good" bits
in ibmveth receive routine, SKB's ip_summed field is set with
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY flag. This packet is then bridged by OVS (or Linux
Bridge) and delivered to outbound Trunk ibmveth. At this point the
outbound ibmveth transmit routine will not set "no checksum" and
"checksum good" bits in transmit buffer descriptor, as it does so only
when the ip_summed field is CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. When this packet gets
delivered to destination VM, TCP layer receives the packet with checksum
value of 0 and with no checksum related flags in ip_summed field. This
leads to packet drops. So, TCP connections never goes through fine.
- Issue 3: First packet of a TCP connection will be dropped, if there is
no OVS flow cached in datapath. OVS while trying to identify the flow,
computes the checksum. The computed checksum will be invalid at the
receiving end, as ibmveth transmit routine zeroes out the pseudo
checksum value in the packet. This leads to packet drop.
- Issue 4: ibmveth driver doesn't have support for SKB's with frag_list.
When Physical NIC has GRO enabled and when OVS bridges these packets,
OVS vport send code will end up calling dev_queue_xmit, which in turn
calls validate_xmit_skb.
In validate_xmit_skb routine, the larger packets will get segmented into
MSS sized segments, if SKB has a frag_list and if the driver to which
they are delivered to doesn't support NETIF_F_FRAGLIST feature.
This patch addresses the above four issues, thereby enabling end to end
largesend and checksum offload support for better performance.
- Fix for Issue 1 : Remove checks which prevent enabling TCP largesend and
checksum offloads.
- Fix for Issue 2 : When ibmveth receives a packet with "checksum good"
bit set and if its configured in Trunk mode, set appropriate SKB fields
using skb_partial_csum_set (ip_summed field is set with
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL)
- Fix for Issue 3: Recompute the pseudo header checksum before sending the
SKB up the stack.
- Fix for Issue 4: Linearize the SKBs with frag_list. Though we end up
allocating buffers and copying data, this fix gives
upto 4X throughput increase.
Note: All these fixes need to be dropped together as fixing just one of
them will lead to other issues immediately (especially for Issues 1,2 & 3).

This patch is based on an earlier one submitted
by Jon Maxwell with the following commit message:
"We recently encountered a bug where a few customers using ibmveth on the
same LPAR hit an issue where a TCP session hung when large receive was
enabled. Closer analysis revealed that the session was stuck because the
one side was advertising a zero window repeatedly.
We narrowed this down to the fact the ibmveth driver did not set gso_size
which is translated by TCP into the MSS later up the stack. The MSS is
used to calculate the TCP window size and as that was abnormally large,
it was calculating a zero window, even although the sockets receive buffer
was completely empty."
We rely on the Virtual I/O Server partition in a pseries
environment to provide the MSS through the TCP header checksum
field. The stipulation is that users should not disable checksum
offloading if rx packet aggregation is enabled through VIOS.
Some firmware offerings provide the MSS in the RX buffer.
This is signalled by a bit in the RX queue descriptor.

The code to load a MAC address into a u64 for passing to the
hypervisor via a register is broken on little endian.
Create a helper function called ibmveth_encode_mac_addr
which does the right thing in both big and little endian.
We were storing the MAC address in a long in struct ibmveth_adapter.
It's never used so remove it - we don't need another place in the
driver where we create endian issues with MAC addresses.
