Use our existing TSO stats, which count enqueued TSO TXes.
Users may expect them to count completions, as tx-packets and
 tx-bytes do; however, these are the counters we have, and the
 qstats documentation doesn't actually specify.

When we handle a TX completion for an XDP packet, it is not counted
 in the per-TXQ netdev stats.  Record it in new internal counters,
 and include those in the device-wide total in efx_get_base_stats().

<content type='text'>
Just RX and TX packet counts and TX bytes for now.  We do not
 have per-queue RX byte counts, which causes us to fail
 stats.pkt_byte_sum selftest with "Drivers should always report
 basic keys" error.
Per-queue counts are since the last time the queue was inited
 (typically by efx_start_datapath(), on ifup or reconfiguration);
 device-wide total (efx_get_base_stats()) is since driver probe.
 This is not the same lifetime as rtnl_link_stats64, which uses
 firmware stats which count since FW (re)booted; this can cause a
 "Qstats are lower" or "RTNL stats are lower" failure in
 stats.pkt_byte_sum selftest.
Move the increment of rx_queue-&gt;rx_packets to match the semantics
 specified for netdev per-queue stats, i.e. just before handing
 the packet to XDP (if present) or the netstack (through GRO).
 This will affect the existing ethtool -S output which also
 reports these counters.
XDP TX packets are not yet counted into base_stats.

This is a cleanup patch, making code a bit more concise.

1) Use skb_network_offset(skb) in place of
       (skb_network_header(skb) - skb-&gt;data)

2) Use -skb_network_offset(skb) in place of
       (skb-&gt;data - skb_network_header(skb))

3) Use skb_transport_offset(skb) in place of
       (skb_transport_header(skb) - skb-&gt;data)

4) Use skb_inner_transport_offset(skb) in place of
       (skb_inner_transport_header(skb) - skb-&gt;data)

<title>sfc: use budget for TX completions</title>

<content type='text'>
When running workloads heavy unbalanced towards TX (high TX, low RX
traffic), sfc driver can retain the CPU during too long times. Although
in many cases this is not enough to be visible, it can affect
performance and system responsiveness.

A way to reproduce it is to use a debug kernel and run some parallel
netperf TX tests. In some systems, this will lead to this message being
logged:
  kernel:watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#12 stuck for 22s!

The reason is that sfc driver doesn't account any NAPI budget for the TX
completion events work. With high-TX/low-RX traffic, this makes that the
CPU is held for long time for NAPI poll.

Documentations says "drivers can process completions for any number of Tx
packets but should only process up to budget number of Rx packets".
However, many drivers do limit the amount of TX completions that they
process in a single NAPI poll.

In the same way, this patch adds a limit for the TX work in sfc. With
the patch applied, the watchdog warning never appears.

Tested with netperf in different combinations: single process / parallel
processes, TCP / UDP and different sizes of UDP messages. Repeated the
tests before and after the patch, without any noticeable difference in
network or CPU performance.

Test hardware:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 v4 @ 3.50GHz (4 cores, 2 threads/core)
Solarflare Communications XtremeScale X2522-25G Network Adapter

A non-null efv in __ef100_enqueue_skb() indicates that the packet is
 from that representor, should be transmitted with a suitable option
 descriptor (to instruct the switch to deliver it to the representee),
 and should not be accounted to the parent PF's stats or BQL.

<title>net: allow gso_max_size to exceed 65536</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7c4e983c4f3cf94fcd879730c6caa877e0768a4d</id>
<content type='text'>
The code for gso_max_size was added originally to allow for debugging and
workaround of buggy devices that couldn't support TSO with blocks 64K in
size. The original reason for limiting it to 64K was because that was the
existing limits of IPv4 and non-jumbogram IPv6 length fields.

With the addition of Big TCP we can remove this limit and allow the value
to potentially go up to UINT_MAX and instead be limited by the tso_max_size
value.

So in order to support this we need to go through and clean up the
remaining users of the gso_max_size value so that the values will cap at
64K for non-TCPv6 flows. In addition we can clean up the GSO_MAX_SIZE value
so that 64K becomes GSO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE and UINT_MAX will now be the upper
limit for GSO_MAX_SIZE.

v6: (edumazet) fixed a compile error if CONFIG_IPV6=n,
               in a new sk_trim_gso_size() helper.
               netif_set_tso_max_size() caps the requested TSO size
               with GSO_MAX_SIZE.

<title>net: sfc: fix using uninitialized xdp tx_queue</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fb5833d81e4333294add35d3ac7f7f52a7bf107f</id>
<content type='text'>
In some cases, xdp tx_queue can get used before initialization.
1. interface up/down
2. ring buffer size change

When CPU cores are lower than maximum number of channels of sfc driver,
it creates new channels only for XDP.

When an interface is up or ring buffer size is changed, all channels
are initialized.
But xdp channels are always initialized later.
So, the below scenario is possible.
Packets are received to rx queue of normal channels and it is acted
XDP_TX and tx_queue of xdp channels get used.
But these tx_queues are not initialized yet.
If so, TX DMA or queue error occurs.

In order to avoid this problem.
1. initializes xdp tx_queues earlier than other rx_queue in
efx_start_channels().
2. checks whether tx_queue is initialized or not in efx_xdp_tx_buffers().

Splat looks like:
   sfc 0000:08:00.1 enp8s0f1np1: TX queue 10 spurious TX completion id 250
   sfc 0000:08:00.1 enp8s0f1np1: resetting (RECOVER_OR_ALL)
   sfc 0000:08:00.1 enp8s0f1np1: MC command 0x80 inlen 100 failed rc=-22
   (raw=22) arg=789
   sfc 0000:08:00.1 enp8s0f1np1: has been disabled
