From: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@...dia.com>

Hi Dave, Hi Jakub,

This series TX updates for mlx5e netdev driver.
For more information please see tag log below.

Please pull and let me know if there is any problem.

Thanks,
Saeed.

  net/mlx5e: Optimize the common case condition in mlx5e_select_queue (2022-02-14 22:30:52 -0800)

mlx5 TX routines improvements

1) From Aya and Tariq, first 3 patches, Use the Max size of the TX descriptor
as advertised by the device and not the fixed value of 16 that the driver
always assumed, this is not a bug fix as all existing devices have Max value
larger than 16, but the series is necessary for future proofing the driver.

2) TX Synchronization improvements from Maxim, last 12 patches

Maxim Mikityanskiy Says:
=======================
mlx5e: Synchronize ndo_select_queue with configuration changes

The kernel can call ndo_select_queue at any time, and there is no direct
way to block it. The implementation of ndo_select_queue in mlx5e expects
the parameters to be consistent and may crash (invalid pointer, division
by zero) if they aren't.

There were attempts to partially fix some of the most frequent crashes,
see commit 846d6da1fcdb ("net/mlx5e: Fix division by 0 in
mlx5e_select_queue") and commit 84c8a87402cf ("net/mlx5e: Fix division
by 0 in mlx5e_select_queue for representors"). However, they don't
address the issue completely.

This series introduces the proper synchronization mechanism between
mlx5e configuration and TX data path:

1. txq2sq updates are synchronized properly with ndo_start_xmit
   (mlx5e_xmit). The TX queue is stopped when it configuration is being
   updated, and memory barriers ensure the changes are visible before
   restarting.

2. The set of parameters needed for mlx5e_select_queue is reduced, and
   synchronization using RCU is implemented. This way, changes are
   atomic, and the state in mlx5e_select_queue is always consistent.

3. A few optimizations are applied to the new implementation of
   mlx5e_select_queue.
