[ Upstream commit a43e8e9ffa0d1de058964edf1a0622cbb7e27cfe ]

Handle the case when GSO SKB linear length is too large.

MANA NIC requires GSO packets to put only the header part to SGE0,
otherwise the TX queue may stop at the HW level.

So, use 2 SGEs for the skb linear part which contains more than the
packet header.

sizeof(struct hop_jumbo_hdr) is not part of tso_bytes, so remove

commit b2b000069a4c307b09548dc2243f31f3ca0eac9c upstream.

For an unknown TX CQE error type (probably from a newer hardware),
still free the SKB, update the queue tail, etc., otherwise the
accounting will be wrong.

Also, TX errors can be triggered by injecting corrupted packets, so
replace the WARN_ONCE to ratelimited error logging.

<title>net: mana: Fix MANA VF unload when hardware is unresponsive</title>

When unloading the MANA driver, mana_dealloc_queues() waits for the MANA
hardware to complete any inflight packets and set the pending send count
to zero. But if the hardware has failed, mana_dealloc_queues()
could wait forever.

Fix this by adding a timeout to the wait. Set the timeout to 120 seconds,
which is a somewhat arbitrary value that is more than long enough for
functional hardware to complete any sends.

To support vlan, use MANA_LONG_PKT_FMT if vlan tag is present in TX
skb. Then extract the vlan tag from the skb struct, and save it to
tx_oob for the NIC to transmit. For vlan tags on the payload, they
are accepted by the NIC too.

For RX, extract the vlan tag from CQE and put it into skb.

With RX coalescing, one CQE entry can be used to indicate multiple packets
on the receive queue. This saves processing time and PCI bandwidth over
the CQ.

The MANA Ethernet driver also uses the v2 version of the protocol. It
doesn't use RX coalescing and its behavior is not changed.

The MANA Ethernet driver also uses the v2 version of the protocol. It
doesn't use RX coalescing and its behavior is not changed.

The apc-&gt;eth_stats.rx_cqes is one per NIC (vport), and it's on the
frequent and parallel code path of all queues. So, r/w into this
single shared variable by many threads on different CPUs creates a
lot caching and memory overhead, hence perf regression. And, it's
not accurate due to the high volume concurrent r/w.

For example, a workload is iperf with 128 threads, and with RPS
enabled. We saw perf regression of 25% with the previous patch
adding the counters. And this patch eliminates the regression.

Since the error path of mana_poll_rx_cq() already has warnings, so
keeping the counter and convert it to a per-queue variable is not
necessary. So, just remove this counter from this high frequency
code path.

Also, remove the tx_cqes counter for the same reason. We have
warnings &amp; other counters for errors on that path, and don't need
to count every normal cqe processing.
