hv_netvsc: Fix send indirection table offset

Fix send indirection table offset issues related to guest and
host bugs.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If negotiated NVSP version <= NVSP_PROTOCOL_VERSION_6, the offset may
be wrong (too small) due to a host bug. This can cause missing the
end of the send indirection table, and add multiple zero entries from
leading zeros before the data region. This bug adds extra burden on
channel 0.

So fix the offset by computing it from the data structure sizes. This
will ensure netvsc driver runs normally on unfixed hosts, and future
fixed hosts.

To reach the data region, the existing code adds offset in struct
nvsp_5_send_indirect_table on the beginning of this struct. But the
offset should be based on the beginning of its container,
struct nvsp_message. This bug causes the first table entry missing,
and adds an extra zero from the zero pad after the data region.
This can put extra burden on the channel 0.

So, correct the offset usage. Also add a boundary check to ensure
not reading beyond data region.

Both rtl_work_func_t() and rtl8152_close() call napi_disable().
Since the two calls aren't protected by a lock, if the close
function starts executing before the work function, we can get into a
situation where the napi_disable() function is called twice in
succession (first by rtl8152_close(), then by set_carrier()).

In such a situation, the second call would loop indefinitely, since
rtl8152_close() doesn't call napi_enable() to clear the NAPI_STATE_SCHED
bit.

The rtl8152_close() function in turn issues a
cancel_delayed_work_sync(), and so it would wait indefinitely for the
rtl_work_func_t() to complete. Since rtl8152_close() is called by a
process holding rtnl_lock() which is requested by other processes, this
eventually leads to a system deadlock and crash.

Re-order the napi_disable() call to occur after the work function
disabling and urb cancellation calls are issued.

When receiving many or larger packets, e.g. when doing a file download,
it was observed that the read buffer size register reports up to 4 bytes
more than the current define allows in the check.
If this is the case, then no data transfer is initiated to receive the
packets (and thus to empty the buffer) which results in a stall of the
interface.

These 4 bytes are a hardware generated frame length which is prepended
to the actual frame, thus we have to respect it during our check.

On some old Firmwares, connector type value was not supported, and value
read from FW was 0. For those, driver used link mode in order to set
connector type in link_ksetting.

After FW exposed the connector type, driver translated the value to ethtool
definitions. However, as 0 is a valid value, before returning PORT_OTHER,
driver run the check of link mode in order to maintain backward
compatibility.

Cited patch added support to EXT mode.  With both features (connector type
and EXT link modes) ,if connector_type read from FW is 0 and EXT mode is
set, driver mistakenly compare EXT link modes to non-EXT link mode.
Fixed that by skipping this comparison if we are in EXT mode, as connector
type value is valid in this scenario.

The L2 bridgeport code uses the coarse 'conf_mutex' for guarding access
to its configuration state.
This can result in a deadlock when qeth_l2_stop_card() - called under the
conf_mutex - blocks on flush_workqueue() to wait for the completion of
pending bridgeport workers. Such workers would also need to aquire
the conf_mutex, stalling indefinitely.

Introduce a lock that specifically guards the bridgeport configuration,
so that the workers no longer need the conf_mutex.
Wrapping qeth_l2_promisc_to_bridge() in this fine-grained lock then also
fixes a theoretical race against a concurrent qeth_bridge_port_role_store()
operation.

Fix this moving the check on 'nkeys' earlier in tcf_pedit_init(), so that
attempts to install rules having 0 keys are always rejected with -EINVAL.

Modifying the link settings via phylink_ethtool_ksettings_set() and
phylink_ethtool_set_pauseparam() didn't always work as intended for
PHY based setups, as calling phylink_mac_config() would result in the
unresolved configuration being committed to the MAC, rather than the
configuration with the speed and duplex setting.

This would work fine if the update caused the link to renegotiate,
but if no settings have changed, phylib won't trigger a renegotiation
cycle, and the MAC will be left incorrectly configured.

Avoid calling phylink_mac_config() unless we are using an inband mode
in phylink_ethtool_ksettings_set(), and use phy_set_asym_pause() as
introduced in 4.20 to set the PHY settings in
phylink_ethtool_set_pauseparam().

Update the documentation on phylink's create and destroy functions to
explicitly state that the rtnl lock must not be held while calling
these.

During performance testing, I found that one of my r8169 NICs suffered
a major performance loss, a 8168c model.

Running netperf's TCP_STREAM test didn't return the expected
throughput of > 900 Mb/s, but rather only about 22 Mb/s.  Strange
enough, running the TCP_MAERTS and UDP_STREAM tests all returned with
throughput > 900 Mb/s, as did TCP_STREAM with the other r8169 NICs I can
test (either one of 8169s, 8168e, 8168f).

Bisecting turned up commit 93681cd7,
"r8169: enable HW csum and TSO" as the culprit.

I added my 8168c version, RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_22, to the code
special-casing the 8168evl as per the patch below.  This fixed the
performance problem for me.
