ibmvnic: clear fop when retrying probe

Clear ->failover_pending flag that may have been set in the previous
pass of registering CRQ. If we don't clear, a subsequent ibmvnic_open()
call would be misled into thinking a failover is pending and assuming
that the reset worker thread would open the adapter. If this pass of
registering the CRQ succeeds (i.e there is no transport event), there
wouldn't be a reset worker thread.

This would leave the adapter unconfigured and require manual intervention
to bring it up during boot.

We currently initialize the ->init_done completion/return code fields

after registering the CRQ the taskslet may already have recorded the
completion and error code. If we initialize here, we might overwrite/
lose that and end up issuing the CRQ_INIT only to timeout later.

If that timeout happens during probe, we will leave the adapter in the
DOWN state rather than retrying to register/init the CRQ.

Initialize the completion before registering the CRQ so we don't lose
the notification.

ibmvnic: don't release napi in __ibmvnic_open()

If __ibmvnic_open() encounters an error such as when setting link state,
it calls release_resources() which frees the napi structures needlessly.
Instead, have __ibmvnic_open() only clean up the work it did so far (i.e.
disable napi and irqs) and leave the rest to the callers.

If caller of __ibmvnic_open() is ibmvnic_open(), it should release the
resources immediately. If the caller is do_reset() or do_hard_reset(),
they will release the resources on the next reset.

ibmvnic_tasklet() continuously spins waiting for responses to all

during initialization of the vnic. However if there is a bug in the
VIOS and we do not receive a response to one or more queries the
tasklet ends up spinning continuously leading to hard lock ups.

If we fail to receive a message from the VIOS it is reasonable to
timeout the login attempt rather than spin indefinitely in the tasklet.

ibmvnic: init ->running_cap_crqs early

We use ->running_cap_crqs to determine when the ibmvnic_tasklet() should
send out the next protocol message type. i.e when we get back responses
to all our QUERY_CAPABILITY CRQs we send out REQUEST_CAPABILITY crqs.
Similiary, when we get responses to all the REQUEST_CAPABILITY crqs, we
send out the QUERY_IP_OFFLOAD CRQ.

We currently increment ->running_cap_crqs as we send out each CRQ and
have the ibmvnic_tasklet() send out the next message type, when this
running_cap_crqs count drops to 0.

This assumes that all the CRQs of the current type were sent out before
the count drops to 0. However it is possible that we send out say 6 CRQs,
get preempted and receive all the 6 responses before we send out the
remaining CRQs. This can result in ->running_cap_crqs count dropping to
zero before all messages of the current type were sent and we end up
sending the next protocol message too early.

Instead initialize the ->running_cap_crqs upfront so the tasklet will
only send the next protocol message after all responses are received.

Use the cap_reqs local variable to also detect any discrepancy (either
now or in future) in the number of capability requests we actually send.

Currently only send_query_cap() is affected by this behavior (of sending
next message early) since it is called from the worker thread (during
reset) and from application thread (during ->ndo_open()) and they can be
preempted. send_request_cap() is only called from the tasklet which
processes CRQ responses sequentially, is not be affected. But to
maintain the existing symmtery with send_query_capability() we update
send_request_capability() also.

ibmvnic: Allow extra failures before disabling

If auto-priority-failover (APF) is enabled and there are at least two
backing devices of different priorities, some resets like fail-over,
change-param etc can cause at least two back to back failovers. (Failover
from high priority backing device to lower priority one and then back
to the higher priority one if that is still functional).

Depending on the timimg of the two failovers it is possible to trigger
a "hard" reset and for the hard reset to fail due to failovers. When this
occurs, the driver assumes that the network is unstable and disables the
VNIC for a 60-second "settling time". This in turn can cause the ethtool
command to fail with "No such device" while the vnic automatically recovers
a little while later.

Given that it's possible to have two back to back failures, allow for extra
failures before disabling the vnic for the settling time.

If we get CRQ_INIT, we set errno to -EIO and first call complete() to
notify the waiter. Then we try to schedule a FAILOVER reset. If this
occurs while adapter is in PROBING state, ibmvnic_reset() changes the
error code to EAGAIN and returns without scheduling the FAILOVER. The
purpose of setting error code to EAGAIN is to ask the waiter to retry.

But due to the earlier complete() call, the waiter may already have seen
the -EIO response and decided not to retry. This can cause intermittent
failures when bringing up ibmvnic adapters during boot, specially in
in kexec/kdump kernels.

Defer the complete() call until after scheduling the reset.

Also streamline the error code to EAGAIN. Don't see why we need EIO
sometimes. All 3 callers of ibmvnic_reset_init() can handle EAGAIN.

If adapter's resetting bit is on, discard the packet but don't stop the
transmit queue - instead leave that to the reset code. With this change,
it is possible that we may get several calls to ibmvnic_xmit() that simply
discard packets and return.

But if we stop the queue here, we might end up doing so just after
__ibmvnic_open() started the queues (during a hard/soft reset) and before
the ->resetting bit was cleared. If that happens, there will be no one to
restart queue and transmissions will be blocked indefinitely.

This can cause a TIMEOUT reset and with auto priority failover enabled,
an unnecessary FAILOVER reset to less favored backing device and then a
FAILOVER back to the most favored backing device. If we hit the window
repeatedly, we can get stuck in a loop of TIMEOUT, FAILOVER, FAILOVER
resets leaving the adapter unusable for extended periods of time.

ibmvnic: Reuse tx pools when possible

Rather than releasing the tx pools on every close and reallocating
them on open, reuse the tx pools unless the pool parameters (number
of pools, size of each pool or size of each buffer in a pool) have
changed.

If the pool parameters changed, then release the old pools (if
any) and allocate new ones.

Specifically release tx pools, if:
- adapter is removed,
- pool parameters change during reset,
- we encounter an error when opening the adapter in response
to a user request (in ibmvnic_open()).

and don't release them:
- in __ibmvnic_close() or
- on errors in __ibmvnic_open()

in the hope that we can reuse them during this or next reset.

With these changes reset_tx_pools() can be dropped because its
optimization is now included in init_tx_pools() itself.

cleanup_tx_pools() releases all the skbs associated with the pool and
is called from ibmvnic_cleanup(), which is called on every reset. Since
we want to reuse skbs across resets, move cleanup_tx_pools() out of
ibmvnic_cleanup() and call it only when user closes the adapter.

Add two new adapter fields, ->prev_mtu, ->prev_tx_pool_size to track the
previous values and use them to decide whether to reuse or realloc the
pools.

If the pool parameters changed, then release the old pools (if any)
and allocate new ones.

Specifically release rx pools, if:
- adapter is removed,
- pool parameters change during reset,
- we encounter an error when opening the adapter in response
to a user request (in ibmvnic_open()).

and don't release them:
- in __ibmvnic_close() or
- on errors in __ibmvnic_open()

in the hope that we can reuse them on the next reset.

With these, reset_rx_pools() can be dropped because its optimzation is
now included in init_rx_pools() itself.

cleanup_rx_pools() releases all the skbs associated with the pool and
is called from ibmvnic_cleanup(), which is called on every reset. Since
we want to reuse skbs across resets, move cleanup_rx_pools() out of
ibmvnic_cleanup() and call it only when user closes the adapter.

Add two new adapter fields, ->prev_rx_buf_sz, ->prev_rx_pool_size to
keep track of the previous values and use them to decide whether to
reuse or realloc the pools.
