    net: hns3: refactor the MAC address configure · ee4bcd3b
    Jian Shen authored
    Currently, the HNS3 driver sync and unsync MAC address in function
    hns3_set_rx_mode(). For PF, it adds and deletes MAC address directly
    in the path of dev_set_rx_mode(). If failed, it won't retry until
    next calling of hns3_set_rx_mode(). On the other hand, if request
    add and remove a same address many times at a short interval, each
    request must be done one by one, can't be merged. For VF, it sends
    mailbox messages to PF to request adding or deleting MAC address in
    the path of function hns3_set_rx_mode(), no matter the address is
    configured success.
    
    This patch refines it by recording the MAC address in function
    hns3_set_rx_mode(), and updating MAC address in the service task.
    If failed, it will retry by the next calling of periodical service
    task. It also uses some state to mark the state of each MAC address
    in the MAC list, which can help merge configure request for a same
    address. With these changes, when global reset or IMP reset occurs,
    we can restore the MAC table with the MAC list.
