ea5509f53c ibmvnic: Correct ibmvnic handling of device open/close
When closing the ibmvnic device we need to release the resources used
in communicating to the virtual I/O server. These need to be
re-negotiated with the server at open time.

This patch moves the releasing of resources a separate routine
and updates the open and close handlers to release all resources at
close and re-negotiate and allocate these resources at open.

bd0b672313 ibmvnic: Move login and queue negotiation into ibmvnic_open
VNIC server expects LINK_STATE_UP to be sent within 30s of the login. If we
exceed the timeout, VNIC server will attempt to fail over. Since time
between probe and open of the device is indeterminate, move login and queue
negotiation into ibmvnic open so we can guarantee that login and sending
LINK_STATE_UP occur within the 30s window.

142c0ac445 ibmvnic: Fix overflowing firmware/hardware TX queue
Use a counter to track the number of outstanding transmissions sent
that have not received completions. If the counter reaches the maximum
number of queue entries, stop transmissions on that queue. As we receive
more completions from firmware, wake the queue once the counter reaches
an acceptable level.

This patch prevents hardware/firmware TX queue from filling up and
and generating errors.  Since incorporating this fix, internal testing
has reported that these firmware errors have stopped.

249168ad07 ibmvnic: Make CRQ interrupt tasklet wait for all capabilities crqs
After sending device capability queries and requests to the vNIC Server,
an interrupt is triggered and the responses are written to the driver's
CRQ response buffer. Since the interrupt can be triggered before all
responses are written and visible to the partition, there is a danger
that the interrupt handler or tasklet can terminate before all responses
are read, resulting in a failure to initialize the device.

To avoid this scenario, when capability commands are sent, we set
a flag that will be checked in the following interrupt tasklet that
will handle the capability responses from the server. Once all
responses have been handled, the flag is disabled; and the tasklet
is allowed to terminate.

f39f0d1e1e ibmvnic: Fix initial MTU settings
In the current driver, the MTU is set to the maximum value
capable for the backing device. This decision turned out to
be a mistake as it led to confusion among users. The expected
initial MTU value used for other IBM vNIC capable operating
systems is 1500, with the maximum value (9000) reserved for
when Jumbo frames are enabled. This patch sets the MTU to
the default value for a net device.

It also corrects a discrepancy between MTU values received from
firmware, which includes the ethernet header length, and net
device MTU values.

Finally, it removes redundant min/max MTU assignments after device
initialization.

d894be57ca ethernet: use net core MTU range checking in more drivers
Somehow, I missed a healthy number of ethernet drivers in the last pass.
Most of these drivers either were in need of an updated max_mtu to make
jumbo frames possible to enable again. In a few cases, also setting a
different min_mtu to match previous lower bounds. There are also a few
drivers that had no upper bounds checking, so they're getting a brand new
ETH_MAX_MTU that is identical to IP_MAX_MTU, but accessible by includes
all ethernet and ethernet-like drivers all have already.

- min_mtu = 0, max_mtu = 9000

mlxsw:
- min_mtu = 0, max_mtu = 65535
- Basically bypassing the core checks, and instead relying on dynamic
  checks in the respective switch drivers' ndo_change_mtu functions

ns83820:
- min_mtu = 0
- remove redundant ns83820_change_mtu, only checked for mtu > 1500

netxen:
- min_mtu = 0, max_mtu = 8000 (P2), max_mtu = 9600 (P3)

qlge:
- min_mtu = 1500, max_mtu = 9000
- driver only supports setting mtu to 1500 or 9000, so the core check only
  rules out < 1500 and > 9000, qlge_change_mtu still needs to check that
  the value is 1500 or 9000

qualcomm/emac:
- min_mtu = 46, max_mtu = 9194

- min_mtu = 64, max_mtu = 9000

with the maximum number of tx and rx queues supported by the server. If
the server fails to allocate the requested number of scrqs, it will return
partial success in the login response. In this case, we must reinitiate
the login process from the request capabilities stage and attempt to login
requesting fewer scrqs.

de89e854bc ibmvnic: Fix ibmvnic_capability struct
The ibmvnic_capability struct was defined incorrectly. The last two
elements of the struct are in the wrong order.  In addition, the number
element should be 64-bit. Byteswapping functions are updated
as well.

032c5e8284 Driver for IBM System i/p VNIC protocol
This is a new device driver for a high performance SR-IOV assisted virtual
network for IBM System p and IBM System i systems.  The SR-IOV VF will be
attached to the VIOS partition and mapped to the Linux client via the
hypervisor's VNIC protocol that this driver implements.

This driver is able to perform basic tx and rx, new features
and improvements will be added as they are being developed and tested.
