mlx4_en_DUMP_ETH_STATS took the *counter mutex* and then
called the FW command, with WRAPPED attribute. As a result, the fw command
is wrapped on the Hypervisor when it calls mlx4_en_DUMP_ETH_STATS.
The FW command wrapper flow on the hypervisor takes the *slave_cmd_mutex*
during processing.

At the same time, a VF could be in the process of coming up, and could
call mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP.  On the hypervisor, the command flow takes the
*slave_cmd_mutex*, then executes mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP_wrapper.
mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP wrapper calls mlx4_get_default_counter_index(),
which takes the *counter mutex*. DEADLOCK.

The fix is that the DUMP_ETH_STATS fw command should be called with
the NATIVE attribute, so that on the hypervisor, this command does not
enter the wrapper flow.

Since the Hypervisor no longer goes through the wrapper code, we also
simply return 0 in mlx4_DUMP_ETH_STATS_wrapper (i.e.the function succeeds,
but the returned data will be all zeroes).
No need to test if it is the Hypervisor going through the wrapper.

In the Hypervisor, there are several FW commands which are invoked
before the comm channel is initialized (in mlx4_multi_func_init).
These include MOD_STAT_CONFIG, QUERY_DEV_CAP, INIT_HCA, and others.

If any of these commands fails, say with a timeout, the Hypervisor
driver enters the internal error reset flow. In this flow, the driver
attempts to notify all slaves via the comm channel that an internal error
has occurred.

Since the comm channel has not yet been initialized (i.e., mapped via
ioremap), this will cause dereferencing a NULL pointer.

To fix this, do not access the comm channel in the internal error flow
if it has not yet been initialized.

Currently there is a race between incoming traffic and
initialization flow. HW is able to receive the packets
after INIT_PORT is done and unicast steering is configured.
Before we set priv->port_up NAPI is not scheduled and
receive queues become full. Therefore we never get
new interrupts about the completions.
This issue could happen if running heavy traffic during
bringing port up.
The resolution is to schedule NAPI once port_up is set.
If receive queues were full this will process all cqes
and release them.

When transmitting on a packet socket with PACKET_VNET_HDR and
PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, validate device support for features requested
in vnet_hdr.

Drop TSO packets sent to devices that do not support TSO or have the
feature disabled. Note that the latter currently do process those
packets correctly, regardless of not advertising the feature.

Because of SKB_GSO_DODGY, it is not sufficient to test device features
with netif_needs_gso. Full validate_xmit_skb is needed.

Switch to software checksum for non-TSO packets that request checksum
offload if that device feature is unsupported or disabled. Note that
similar to the TSO case, device drivers may perform checksum offload
correctly even when not advertising it.

When switching to software checksum, packets hit skb_checksum_help,
which has two BUG_ON checksum not in linear segment. Packet sockets
always allocate at least up to csum_start + csum_off + 2 as linear.

Some of the sample files are causing issues when they are loaded with tc
and cls_bpf, meaning tc bails out while trying to parse the resulting ELF
file as program/map/etc sections are not present, which can be easily
spotted with readelf(1).

Currently, BPF samples are including some of the kernel headers and mid
term we should change them to refrain from this, really. When dynamic
debugging is enabled, we bail out due to undeclared KBUILD_MODNAME, which
is easily overlooked in the build as clang spills this along with other
noisy warnings from various header includes, and llc still generates an
ELF file with mentioned characteristics. For just playing around with BPF
examples, this can be a bit of a hurdle to take.

    - Always Query HCA caps after setting them even on reset flow

    - Change the acl enable prototype to return status, for better error
      resiliency
    - Clear health sick bit when starting health poll after reset flow
    - Fix race between PCI error handlers and health work
    - PCI error recovery health care simulation, in case when the kernel
      PCI error handlers are not triggered for some internal firmware errors

From Noa:
    - Avoid passing dma address 0 to firmware when mapping system pages
      to the firmware

From Paul: Some straight forward flow steering fixes
    - Keep autogroups list ordered
    - Fix autogroups groups num not decreasing
    - Correctly initialize last use of flow counters

From Saeed:
    - Choose the nearest LRO timeout to the wanted one
      instead of blindly choosing "dev_cap.lro_timeout[2]"

Daniel says:

While trying out [1][2], I noticed that tc monitor doesn't show the
correct handle on delete:

$ tc monitor
qdisc clsact ffff: dev eno1 parent ffff:fff1
filter dev eno1 ingress protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x2a [...]
deleted filter dev eno1 ingress protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0xf3be0c80

some context to explain the above:
The user identity of any tc filter is represented by a 32-bit
identifier encoded in tcm->tcm_handle. Example 0x2a in the bpf filter
above. A user wishing to delete, get or even modify a specific filter
uses this handle to reference it.
Every classifier is free to provide its own semantics for the 32 bit handle.
Example: classifiers like u32 use schemes like 800:1:801 to describe
the semantics of their filters represented as hash table, bucket and
node ids etc.
Classifiers also have internal per-filter representation which is different
from this externally visible identity. Most classifiers set this
internal representation to be a pointer address (which allows fast retrieval
of said filters in their implementations). This internal representation
is referenced with the "fh" variable in the kernel control code.

When a user successfuly deletes a specific filter, by specifying the correct
tcm->tcm_handle, an event is generated to user space which indicates
which specific filter was deleted.

Before this patch, the "fh" value was sent to user space as the identity.
As an example what is shown in the sample bpf filter delete event above
is 0xf3be0c80. This is infact a 32-bit truncation of 0xffff8807f3be0c80
which happens to be a 64-bit memory address of the internal filter
representation (address of the corresponding filter's struct cls_bpf_prog);

After this patch the appropriate user identifiable handle as encoded
in the originating request tcm->tcm_handle is generated in the event.
One of the cardinal rules of netlink rules is to be able to take an
event (such as a delete in this case) and reflect it back to the
kernel and successfully delete the filter. This patch achieves that.

Note, this issue has existed since the original TC action
infrastructure code patch back in 2004 as found in:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/commit/
