<content type='text'>
Current codebase contained the usage of two different names for this
driver (i.e., `gvnic` and `gve`), which is quite unfriendly for users
to use, especially when trying to bind or unbind the driver manually.
The corresponding kernel module is registered with the name of `gve`.
It's more reasonable to align the name of the driver with the module.

<title>gve: Set default duplex configuration to full</title>

<id>0503efeadbf6bb8bf24397613a73b67e665eac5f</id>
<content type='text'>
Current duplex mode was unset in the driver, resulting in the default
parameter being set to 0, which corresponds to half duplex. It might
mislead users to have incorrect expectation about the driver's
transmission capabilities.
Set the default duplex configuration to full, as the driver runs in
full duplex mode at this point.

<title>gve: Support IPv6 Big TCP on DQ</title>

<id>a695641c8eaac268ad7e373c7e33c00b88b2bcbf</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for using IPv6 Big TCP on DQ which can handle large TSO/GRO
packets. See https://lwn.net/Articles/895398/. This can improve the
throughput and CPU usage.

Perf test result:
ip -d link show $DEV
gso_max_size 185000 gso_max_segs 65535 tso_max_size 262143 tso_max_segs 65535 gro_max_size 185000

For performance, tested with neper using 9k MTU on hardware that supports 200Gb/s line rate.

In single streams when line rate is not saturated, we expect throughput improvements.
When the networking is performing at line rate, we expect cpu usage improvements.

Tcp_stream (unidirectional stream test, T=thread, F=flow):
skb=180kb, T=1, F=1, no zerocopy: throughput average=64576.88 Mb/s, sender stime=8.3, receiver stime=10.68
skb=64kb,  T=1, F=1, no zerocopy: throughput average=64862.54 Mb/s, sender stime=9.96, receiver stime=12.67
skb=180kb, T=1, F=1, yes zerocopy:  throughput average=146604.97 Mb/s, sender stime=10.61, receiver stime=5.52
skb=64kb,  T=1, F=1, yes zerocopy:  throughput average=131357.78 Mb/s, sender stime=12.11, receiver stime=12.25

skb=180kb, T=20, F=100, no zerocopy:  throughput average=182411.37 Mb/s, sender stime=41.62, receiver stime=79.4
skb=64kb,  T=20, F=100, no zerocopy:  throughput average=182892.02 Mb/s, sender stime=57.39, receiver stime=72.69

Clearing the PBA bit from the driver is race prone and it may lead to

The link speed is never changed for the uptime of a VM, and the current
implementation sends an admin queue command for each call. Admin queue
command invocations have nontrivial overhead (e.g., VM exits), which can
be disruptive to users if triggered frequently. Our telemetry data shows
that there are VMs that make frequent calls to this admin queue command.
Caching the result of the original admin queue command would eliminate
the need to send multiple admin queue commands on subsequent calls to
retrieve link speed.
