The RSC feature -- a bit field "internal" was added here with total
size unchanged:
struct rndis_per_packet_info {

u32 type:31;
u32 internal:1;
u32 ppi_offset;
};
On TX path, we put rndis msg into skb head room, which is not zeroed
before passing to us. We do not use the "internal" field in TX path,
but it may impact older hosts which use the entire 32 bits as "type".
To fix the bug, this patch sets the field "internal" to zero.

We also move the CRC forward setting read into

100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-10-01
This series contains updates to ice driver only.
Anirudh provides several changes to "prep" the driver for upcoming
features. Specifically, the functions that are used for PF VSI/netdev
setup will also be used in SR-IOV support and to allow the reuse of
these functions, code needs to move.
Dave provides the only other change in the series, updates the driver to
protect the reset patch in its entirety. This is done by adding the
various bit checks to determine if a reset is scheduled/initiated and
whether it came from the software or firmware.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Currently, there is no bit, or set of bits, that protect the entirety
of the reset path.
If the reset is originated by the driver, then the relevant
one of the following bits will be set when the reset is scheduled:
__ICE_PFR_REQ
__ICE_CORER_REQ
__ICE_GLOBR_REQ
This bit will not be cleared until after the rebuild has completed.
If the reset is originated by the FW, then the first the driver knows of
it will be the reception of the OICR interrupt. The __ICE_RESET_OICR_RECV
bit will be set in the interrupt handler. This will also be the indicator
in a SW originated reset that we have completed the pre-OICR tasks and
have informed the FW that a reset was requested.
To utilize these bits, change the function:
ice_is_reset_recovery_pending()
to be:
ice_is_reset_in_progress()
The new function will check all of the above bits in the pf->state and
will return a true if one or more of these bits are set.

This move is done across multiple patches. Each patch moves a few

previously static in ice_main.c will be made non-static temporarily in
its new location to allow the driver to build cleanly. These adjustments
will be removed in subsequent patches where more code is moved out of

Increased the amount of channels the representors can open to be the
amount of CPUs. The default amount opened remains one.
Used the standard NIC netdev functions to:
* Set RSS params when building the representors' params.
* Setup an indirect TIR and RQT for the representors upon
initialization.
* Create a TTC flow table for the representors' indirect TIR (when
creating the TTC table, mlx5e_set_ttc_basic_params() is not called,
in order to avoid setting the inner_ttc param, which is not needed).
Added ethtool control to the representors for setting and querying
the amount of open channels. Additionally, included logic in the
representors' ethtool set channels handler which controls a
representor's vport rx rule, so that if there is one open channel
the rx rule steers traffic to the representor's direct TIR, whereas
if there is more than one channel, the rx rule steers traffic to the
new TTC flow table.

Enabled checksum and TSO offloads for the representors, in
order to increase their performance, which is required to
increase the performance of flows that cannot be offloaded.
Checksum offloads contribute to a general acceleration of all
traffic (to around 150%), whereas the TSO offload contributes
to a prominent acceleration of the representor's TX for traffic
flows with larger than MTU sized packets (to around 200%). This
is the usual case for TCP streams, as the PF, which serves as
the uplink representor, and the VF representors employ GRO before
forwarding the packets to the representor.
GRO was enabled implicitly for the representors beforehand, and
is explicitly enabled here to ensure that the representors preserve
the performance boost it provides (of around 200%) when working in
tandem with the TSO offload by the forwardee, which is the standard
case as both the PF and the VF representors employ HW TSO.
The impact of these changes can be seen in the following
measurements taken on a setup of a VM over a VF, connected
to OVS via the VF representor, to an external host:
Before current changes:
TCP Throughput [Gb/s]
External host to VM ~ 10.5
VM to external host ~ 23.5
With just checksum offloads enabled:
TCP Throughput [Gb/s]
External host to VM ~ 14.9
VM to external host ~ 28.5
With the TSO offload also enabled:
TCP Throughput [Gb/s]
External host to VM ~ 30.5

The representors' RQ size was not large enough for them to achieve
high enough performance, and therefore needed to be enlarged, while
suffering a minimum hit to its memory usage. To achieve this the
representors RQ size was increased, and its type was changed to be a
striding RQ if it is supported.
Towards that goal the following changes were made:
* Extracted the sequence for setting the standard netdev's RQ parmas
into a function
* Replaced the sequence for setting the representor's RQ params with
the standard sequence
The impact of this change can be seen in the following measurements
taken on a setup of a VM over a VF, connected to OVS via the VF
representor, to an external host:
Before current change:
TCP Throughput [Gb/s]
VM to external host ~ 7.2
With the current change (measured with a striding RQ):
TCP Throughput [Gb/s]
VM to external host ~ 23.5
Each representor now consumes 2 [MB] of memory for its packet
buffers.
