As the firmware flash process takes about 20 seconds and ethtool takes the
rtnl lock during the flash_device callback, release the rtnl lock at the
beginning of the flash process and take it again before leaving the

The IGU CAM contains an assocaition between hardware SBs
and interrupt lines, and it can be dynamically configured
to allow more interrupts in one entity over another, specifically
for Re-distibution of SBs between a PF and its child VFs.
While we don't yet use this functionality, there are other
clients that do and as such its possible the information
passed from management firmware during initialization in
regard to the possible number of SBs doesn't accurately reflect
the current HW configuration.
The following changes are going to apply to the driver init sequence:
a. PF is going to re-configure all entries belonging to itself and
its child VFs in IGU CAM based on the management firmware info
regarding the number of SBs that are supposed to exist there.
b. PF is going to stop using the SB resource [management firmware
provided information] for anything but the initialization.
Instead, it would use the live-time counters it maintains for
the numbers.

These arrays aren't really connected - e.g., protocol driver

in the HW shadow array.

Liwei Song fixes an issue where seqcount/seqlock in ixgbe_get_stats64()
are not initialized in time, so move the initialization into probe routine

Paul cleans up led_[on|off] for X550EM_X, since the firmware configures

with this device.
Emil provides several fixes, starting with enabling RSS on VF to VF
traffic on the same PF. Fixed PHY identification, where the previous
method was unreliable, so use a different register to ensure proper
identification. Cleaned up the logic which could cause us to
skip the link configuration, this skipping over the link configuration
was leaving SFP+ PHY's in an unstable state, so always call
setup_mac_link(). Added RS1 (rate select 1) support for ixgbe. Lastly,
fixed incorrect logic in the setting up of SFP+ link speed.
Mark fixes the thermal sensor event logic, where it was being executed
when there really was no thermal event. So simplify the logic to only
execute when there is a thermal event.
Tony adds additional error checks and reporting when setting a VF MAC
address to ensure that the MAC filter was successfully added. Also

Jake provides several fixes and changes, starting with fixing a race

which requires us to limit the driver to timestamping a single packet at
once. This is done using a state bitlock which enforces that only one
timestamp request is honored at a time, unfortunately this suffers from
a race condition. Fixed a corner case where we failed to cleanup the
bit lock after a failed transmit, and resulted in a state bit being
locked forever. Added a new statistic which tracks when a transmit
timestamp request is skipped/ignored, since the driver can only handle
one transmit timestamp request at a time.

The i40e driver has logic to handle only one Tx timestamp at a time,
using a state bit lock to avoid multiple requests at once.
It may be possible, if incredibly unlikely, that a Tx timestamp event is
requested but never completes. Since we use an interrupt scheme to
determine when the Tx timestamp occurred we would never clear the state
bit in this case.
Add an i40e_ptp_tx_hang() function similar to the already existing
i40e_ptp_rx_hang() function. This function runs in the watchdog routine
and makes sure we eventually recover from this case instead of
permanently disabling Tx timestamps.

There is a corner case where we failed to cleanup the bit lock after
a failed transmit. This can potentially result in a state bit being

Hardware related to the i40e driver has a limitation on Tx PTP packets.
This requires us to limit the driver to timestamping a single packet at
once. This is done using a state bitlock which enforces that only one
timestamp request is honored at a time.
Unfortunately this suffers from a race condition. The bit lock is not
cleared until after skb_tstamp_tx() is called notifying applications of
a new Tx timestamp. Even a well behaved application sending only one
packet at a time and waiting for a response can wake up and send a new
timestamped packet request before the bit lock is cleared. This results
in needlessly dropping some Tx timestamp requests.
We can fix this by unlocking the state bit as soon as we read the
Timestamp register, as this is the first point at which it is safe to
timestamp another packet.
To avoid issues with the skb pointer, we'll use a copy of the pointer
and set the global variable in the driver structure to NULL first. This
ensures that the next timestamp request does not modify our local copy
of the skb pointer.
Now, a well behaved application which has at most one outstanding
timestamp request will not accidentally race with the driver unlock bit.
Obviously an application attempting to timestamp faster than one request
at a time will have some timestamp requests skipped. Unfortunately there
is nothing we can do about that.
