    ice: refactor unwind cleanup in eswitch mode · df830543
    Jacob Keller authored
    The code for supporting eswitch mode and port representors on VFs uses
    an unwind based cleanup flow when handling errors.
    
    These flows are used to cleanup and get everything back to the state
    prior to attempting to switch from legacy to representor mode or back.
    
    The unwind iterations make sense, but complicate a plan to refactor the
    VF array structure. In the future we won't have a clean method of
    reversing an iteration of the VFs.
    
    Instead, we can change the cleanup flow to just iterate over all VF
    structures and clean up appropriately.
    
    First notice that ice_repr_add_for_all_vfs and ice_repr_rem_from_all_vfs
    have an additional step of re-assigning the VC ops. There is no good
    reason to do this outside of ice_repr_add and ice_repr_rem. It can
    simply be done as the last step of these functions.
    
    Second, make sure ice_repr_rem is safe to call on a VF which does not
    have a representor. Check if vf->repr is NULL first and exit early if
    so.
    
    Move ice_repr_rem_from_all_vfs above ice_repr_add_for_all_vfs so that we
    can call it from the cleanup function.
    
    In ice_eswitch.c, replace the unwind iteration with a call to
    ice_eswitch_release_reprs. This will go through all of the VFs and
    revert the VF back to the standard model without the eswitch mode.
    
    To make this safe, ensure this function checks whether or not the
    represent or has been moved. Rely on the metadata destination in
    vf->repr->dst. This must be NULL if the representor has not been moved
    to eswitch mode.
    
    Ensure that we always re-assign this value back to NULL after freeing
    it, and move the ice_eswitch_release_reprs so that it can be called from
    the setup function.
    
    With these changes, eswitch cleanup no longer uses an unwind flow that
    is problematic for the planned VF data structure change.
