Subject: [PATCH v4 iwl-net 1/8] ice: respect netif readiness in AF_XDP ZC related ndo's

From: Michal Kubiak <michal.kubiak@...el.com>

Address a scenario in which XSK ZC Tx produces descriptors to XDP Tx
ring when link is either not yet fully initialized or process of
stopping the netdev has already started. To avoid this, add checks
against carrier readiness in ice_xsk_wakeup() and in ice_xmit_zc().
One could argue that bailing out early in ice_xsk_wakeup() would be
sufficient but given the fact that we produce Tx descriptors on behalf
of NAPI that is triggered for Rx traffic, the latter is also needed.

Bringing link up is an asynchronous event executed within
ice_service_task so even though interface has been brought up there is
still a time frame where link is not yet ok.

Without this patch, when AF_XDP ZC Tx is used simultaneously with stack
Tx, Tx timeouts occur after going through link flap (admin brings
interface down then up again). HW seem to be unable to transmit
descriptor to the wire after HW tail register bump which in turn causes
bit __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF to be set forever as
netdev_tx_completed_queue() sees no cleaned bytes on the input.

Fixes: 126cdfe1007a ("ice: xsk: Improve AF_XDP ZC Tx and use batching API")
Fixes: 2d4238f55697 ("ice: Add support for AF_XDP")
