[ Upstream commit 484d802d0f2f29c335563fcac2a8facf174a1bbc ]

There is no need for complex checking between the last consumed index
and current consumed index, a simple subtraction will do.

This also eliminates the possibility of a permanent transmit queue stall
under the following conditions:

- one CPU bursts ring-&gt;size worth of traffic (up to 256 buffers), to the
  point where we run out of free descriptors, so we stop the transmit
  queue at the end of bcm_sysport_xmit()

- because of our locking, we have the transmit process disable
  interrupts which means we can be blocking the TX reclamation process

- when TX reclamation finally runs, we will be computing the difference
  between ring-&gt;c_index (last consumed index by SW) and what the HW
  reports through its register

- this register is masked with (ring-&gt;size - 1) = 0xff, which will lead
  to stripping the upper bits of the index (register is 16-bits wide)

- we will be computing last_tx_cn as 0, which means there is no work to
  be done, and we never wake-up the transmit queue, leaving it
  permanently disabled

A practical example is e.g: ring-&gt;c_index aka last_c_index = 12, we
pushed 256 entries, HW consumer index = 268, we mask it with 0xff = 12,
so last_tx_cn == 0, nothing happens.

[ Upstream commit a8168b6cee6e9334dfebb4b9108e8d73794f6088 ]

On some dual port NICs, the 2 ports have to be configured with compatible
link speeds.  Under some conditions, a port's configured speed may no
longer be supported.  The firmware will send a message to the driver
when this happens.

Improve this logic that prints out the warning by only printing it if
we can determine the link speed that is no longer supported.  If the
speed is unknown or it is in autoneg mode, skip the warning message.

<content type='text'>
In bnxt_vf_ndo_prep (which is called by bnxt_get_vf_config ndo), there is a
check for "Invalid VF id". Currently, the check is done against max_vfs.
However, the user doesn't always create max_vfs. So, the check should be
against the created number of VFs. The number of bnxt_vf_info structures
that are allocated in bnxt_alloc_vf_resources routine is the "number of
requested VFs". So, if an "invalid VF id" falls between the requested
number of VFs and the max_vfs, the driver will be dereferencing an invalid
pointer.

<title>bnx2x: Improve reliability in case of nested PCI errors</title>

<id>f7084059a9cb9e56a186e1677b1dcffd76c2cd24</id>
<content type='text'>
While in recovery process of PCI error (called EEH on PowerPC arch),
another PCI transaction could be corrupted causing a situation of
nested PCI errors. Also, this scenario could be reproduced with
error injection mechanisms (for debug purposes).

We observe that in case of nested PCI errors, bnx2x might attempt to
initialize its shmem and cause a kernel crash due to bad addresses
read from MCP. Multiple different stack traces were observed depending
on the point the second PCI error happens.

This patch avoids the crashes by:

 * failing PCI recovery in case of nested errors (since multiple
 PCI errors in a row are not expected to lead to a functional
 adapter anyway), and by,

 * preventing access to adapter FW when MCP is failed (we mark it as
 failed when shmem cannot get initialized properly).

This fixes a hang issue seen when changing the MTU size from 1500 MTU
to 9000 MTU on both 5717 and 5719 chips. In discussion with Broadcom,
they've indicated that these chipsets have the same phy as the 57766
chipset, so the same workarounds apply. This has been tested by IBM
on both Power 8 and Power 9 systems as well as by Broadcom on x86
hardware and has been confirmed to resolve the hang issue.
