ixgbe: stop re-reading flash on every get_drvinfo for e610
ixgbe_get_drvinfo() calls ixgbe_refresh_fw_version() on every ethtool
query for e610 adapters. That ends up in ixgbe_discover_flash_size(),
which bisects the full 16 MB NVM space issuing one ACI command per
step (~20 ms each, ~24 steps total = ~500 ms).
Profiling on an idle E610-XAT2 system with telegraf scraping ethtool
stats every 10 seconds:
kretprobe:ixgbe_get_drvinfo took 527603 us
kretprobe:ixgbe_get_drvinfo took 523978 us
kretprobe:ixgbe_get_drvinfo took 552975 us
kretprobe:ice_get_drvinfo took 3 us
kretprobe:igb_get_drvinfo took 2 us
kretprobe:i40e_get_drvinfo took 5 us
The half-second stall happens under the RTNL lock, causing visible
latency on ip-link and friends.
The FW version can only change after an EMPR reset. All flash data is
already populated at probe time and the cached adapter->eeprom_id is
what get_drvinfo should be returning. The only place that needs to
trigger a re-read is ixgbe_devlink_reload_empr_finish(), right after
the EMPR completes and new firmware is running. Additionally, refresh
the FW version in ixgbe_reinit_locked() so that any PF that undergoes a
reinit after an EMPR (e.g. triggered by another PF's devlink reload)
also picks up the new version in adapter->eeprom_id.
ixgbe_devlink_info_get() keeps its refresh call for explicit
"devlink dev info" queries, which is fine given those are user-initiated.
