Subject: [iwl-net PATCH] idpf: change IRQ naming to match netdev and ethtool
 queue numbering

The code uses the vidx for the IRQ name but that doesn't match ethtool
reporting or netdev naming, this makes it hard to tune the device and
associate queues with IRQs. Sequentially requesting irqs starting from
'0' makes the output consistent.

Before:

ethtool -L eth1 tx 1 combined 3

grep . /proc/irq/*/*idpf*/../smp_affinity_list
/proc/irq/67/idpf-Mailbox-0/../smp_affinity_list:0-55,112-167
/proc/irq/68/idpf-eth1-TxRx-1/../smp_affinity_list:0
/proc/irq/70/idpf-eth1-TxRx-3/../smp_affinity_list:1
/proc/irq/71/idpf-eth1-TxRx-4/../smp_affinity_list:2
/proc/irq/72/idpf-eth1-Tx-5/../smp_affinity_list:3

ethtool -S eth1 | grep -v ': 0'
NIC statistics:
     tx_q-0_pkts: 1002
     tx_q-1_pkts: 2679
     tx_q-2_pkts: 1113
     tx_q-3_pkts: 1192 <----- tx_q-3 vs idpf-eth1-Tx-5
     rx_q-0_pkts: 1143
     rx_q-1_pkts: 3172
     rx_q-2_pkts: 1074

After:

ethtool -L eth1 tx 1 combined 3

grep . /proc/irq/*/*idpf*/../smp_affinity_list

/proc/irq/67/idpf-Mailbox-0/../smp_affinity_list:0-55,112-167
/proc/irq/68/idpf-eth1-TxRx-0/../smp_affinity_list:0
/proc/irq/70/idpf-eth1-TxRx-1/../smp_affinity_list:1
/proc/irq/71/idpf-eth1-TxRx-2/../smp_affinity_list:2
/proc/irq/72/idpf-eth1-Tx-3/../smp_affinity_list:3

ethtool -S eth1 | grep -v ': 0'
NIC statistics:
     tx_q-0_pkts: 118
     tx_q-1_pkts: 134
     tx_q-2_pkts: 228
     tx_q-3_pkts: 138 <--- tx_q-3 matches idpf-eth1-Tx-3
     rx_q-0_pkts: 111
     rx_q-1_pkts: 366
     rx_q-2_pkts: 120
