H A Dselq.h8bf30be7 Tue Jan 25 04:52:51 CST 2022 Maxim Mikityanskiy <maximmi@nvidia.com> net/mlx5e: Introduce select queue parameters

ndo_select_queue can be called at any time, and there is no way to stop
the kernel from calling it to synchronize with configuration changes
(real_num_tx_queues, num_tc). This commit introduces an internal way in
mlx5e to sync mlx5e_select_queue() with these changes. The configuration
needed by this function is stored in a struct mlx5e_selq_params, which
is modified and accessed in an atomic way using RCU methods. The whole
ndo_select_queue is called under an RCU lock, providing the necessary
guarantees.

The parameters stored in the new struct mlx5e_selq_params should only be
used from inside mlx5e_select_queue. It's the minimal set of parameters
needed for mlx5e_select_queue to do its job efficiently, derived from
parameters stored elsewhere. That means that when the configuration
change, mlx5e_selq_params may need to be updated. In such cases, the
mlx5e_selq_prepare/mlx5e_selq_apply API should be used.

struct mlx5e_selq contains two slots for the params: active and standby.
mlx5e_selq_prepare updates the standby slot, and mlx5e_selq_apply swaps
the slots in a safe atomic way using the RCU API. It integrates well
with the open/activate stages of the configuration change flow.
