The patch stores the return code of the REQUEST_MAP_RSP sub-CRQ command
in the private data structure, where it can be later checked during
device open or a reset.
In the case of a reset, the mapping request to the vNIC Server may fail,
especially in the case of a partition migration. The driver attempts to
handle this by re-allocating the buffer and re-sending the mapping request.
The original error handling implementation was removed. The separate
function handling the REQUEST_MAP response message was also removed,
since it is now simple enough to be handled in the ibmvnic_handle_crq
function.

This reserved area should be eight bytes in length instead of four.
As a result, the return codes in the REQUEST_MAP_RSP descriptors
were not being properly handled.

Handle non-fatal error conditions. The process to do this when
resetting the driver is to just do __ibmvnic_close followed by
__ibmvnic_open.

The ibmvnic driver has multiple handlers for resetting the driver
depending on the reason the reset is needed (failover, lpm,
fatal erors,...). All of the reset handlers do essentially the same
thing, this patch moves this work to a common reset handler.
By doing this we also allow the driver to better handle situations
where we can get a reset while handling a reset.
The updated reset handling works by adding a reset work item to the
list of resets and then scheduling work to perform the reset. This
step is necessary because we can receive a reset in interrupt context
and we want to handle the reset out of interrupt context.

Create a common routine for setting the link state for the vnic adapter.
This update moves the sending of the crq and waiting for the link state
response to a common place. The new routine also adds handling of
resending the crq in cases of getting a partial success response.

This patch addresses a modification in the PAPR+ specification which now
defines a previously reserved value for vNIC capabilities. It indicates
whether the system firmware performs a VLAN header stripping on all VLAN
tagged received frames, in case it does, the behavior expected is for
the ibmvnic driver to be responsible for inserting the VLAN header.

The inflight list used to track memory that is allocated for crq that are
inflight is not needed. The one piece of the inflight list that does need
to be cleaned at module exit is the error buffer list which is already
attached to the adapter struct.
This patch removes the inflight list and moves checking the error buffer
list to ibmvnic_remove.

The ibmvnic_change_mac_addr struct alignment was not matching the defined
format in PAPR+, it had the reserved and return code fields swapped. As a
consequence, the CHANGE_MAC_ADDR_RSP commands were being improperly handled
and executed even when the operation wasn't successfully completed by the
system firmware.
Also changing the endianness of the debug message to make it easier to
parse the CRQ content.

The debugfs support in the ibmvnic driver is not, and never has been,

The work done in the debugfs code for the driver was part of the original

When closing the ibmvnic device we need to release the resources used
in communicating to the virtual I/O server. These need to be
re-negotiated with the server at open time.
This patch moves the releasing of resources a separate routine
and updates the open and close handlers to release all resources at
close and re-negotiate and allocate these resources at open.

Use a counter to track the number of outstanding transmissions sent
that have not received completions. If the counter reaches the maximum
number of queue entries, stop transmissions on that queue. As we receive
more completions from firmware, wake the queue once the counter reaches
an acceptable level.
This patch prevents hardware/firmware TX queue from filling up and
and generating errors. Since incorporating this fix, internal testing
has reported that these firmware errors have stopped.

After sending device capability queries and requests to the vNIC Server,
an interrupt is triggered and the responses are written to the driver's
CRQ response buffer. Since the interrupt can be triggered before all
responses are written and visible to the partition, there is a danger
that the interrupt handler or tasklet can terminate before all responses
are read, resulting in a failure to initialize the device.
To avoid this scenario, when capability commands are sent, we set
a flag that will be checked in the following interrupt tasklet that
will handle the capability responses from the server. Once all
responses have been handled, the flag is disabled; and the tasklet
is allowed to terminate.

An upcoming feature of IBM VNIC protocol is the ability to configure
redundant backing devices for a VNIC client. In case of a failure
on the current backing device, the driver will receive a signal
from the hypervisor indicating that a failover will occur. The driver
will then wait for a message from the backing device before
establishing a new connection.

In some cases, if there is no VNIC server available during the driver
probe, the driver should wait until it receives an initialization
request from the VNIC Server to start the login process. Recent testing
has show that this is incorrectly handled in the current driver.
The proposed solution handles this initialization request by scheduling
a task in the shared workqueue that completes the login process and
registers the net device.

Enables the use of multiple transmit and receive scrqs allowing the ibmvnic
driver to take advantage of multiqueue functionality. To achieve this, the
driver must implement the process of negotiating the maximum number of
queues allowed by the server. Initially, the driver will attempt to login
with the maximum number of tx and rx queues supported by the server. If
the server fails to allocate the requested number of scrqs, it will return
partial success in the login response. In this case, we must reinitiate
the login process from the request capabilities stage and attempt to login
requesting fewer scrqs.

Allow the VNIC driver to provide descriptors containing
L2/L3/L4 headers to firmware. This feature is needed
for greater hardware compatibility and enablement of checksum
and TCP offloading features.
A new function is included for the hypervisor call,
H_SEND_SUBCRQ_INDIRECT, allowing a DMA-mapped array of SCRQ
descriptor elements to be sent to the VNIC server.
These additions will help fully enable checksum offloading as
well as other features as they are included later.

This is a new device driver for a high performance SR-IOV assisted virtual
network for IBM System p and IBM System i systems. The SR-IOV VF will be
attached to the VIOS partition and mapped to the Linux client via the
hypervisor's VNIC protocol that this driver implements.
This driver is able to perform basic tx and rx, new features
and improvements will be added as they are being developed and tested.
