Subject: [PATCH net-next V1 00/10] net/mlx4: Add flow-steering support

This patch series from Hadar adds code to manage L2/L3/L4 network 
flow steering rules, a feature which is supported by the ConnectX-3 device.

The series is built as follows:

The first two patches deal with SRIOV resource tracker, whose mechanism 
is changed to use red-black tree instead of radix tree. The reason for 
this change is that the coming steering patches use flow IDs which are 64 
bits in size, where radix tree keys can't be 64bit on 32bit architecture, 
while RB tree can do that.

Patch #3 is little re-design of the Ethernet driver multicast attachments 
flow to be more efficient and robust.

The fourth patch does a re-org of the checks that deal with the current 
"older" steering modes such that we can easily add soon the new steering 
mode and the code remains easy to manage.

Patch #5 adds the firmware commands for the new steering mode, which is 
called "device managed flow steeering".

Patch 6 is the main patch of this series. It adds support for device-managed flow 
steering all across the place. We had to have this patch also to touch the mlx4 
IB driver, since the steering mode is global to the HCA -- so when being enabled, 
multicast attachment calls done by the IB driver into the mlx4 core driver, 
are now routed to the flow steering firmware commands whose API is a bit different, 
something that the IB driver had to be aware to. Following that, the 7th patch 
adds resource tracking for device-managed flow steering rules.

The 8th patch adds promiscuous mode support under device-managed flow steering,
next, the 9th patch adds implementation for the ethtool APIs for attaching 
L2/L3/L4 based flow steering rules, and the last patch adds support for drop 
action through ethtool.

changes from V0:
- fixed coding convention issues raised by Dave (across the place)
- patch 6/10 - Add device managed flow steering firmware API
  - changed both code and commit message: hash function is hard coded instead
    of a module param
- patch 9/10 - Manage flow steering rules with ethtool
  - not_all_zeros_or_all_ones => all_zeros_or_all_ones + enhance macro
  - check masks instead of values in many places
  - return EINVAL when bad arguments and not ENOTSUPP
  - cleanup ETHER_FLOW validation
  - VLAN tag mask specified by the user must be 12 bits only
  - all functions must return error code
  - fixed potential memory leak in an error flow
  - allow to get number of rings when not in device managed flow steering
  - limit get rules to rule_cnt
  - if no rules exists, do not return error - only return empty list
  <--- MANY thanks to Ben Hutchings for the detailed review of the 
  <--- ethtool and to Amir Vadai for helping with the fixes
- patch 10/10 - Add support for drop action through ethtool
  - return EINVAL instead of ENOTSUPP
