i40e: drop is_vf and is_netdev fields in struct i40e_mac_filter
Originally the is_vf and is_netdev fields were added in order to distinguish between VF and netdev filters in a single VSI. However, it can be noted that we use separate VSI for SRIOV VFs and for netdev VSI. Thus, since a single VSI should only ever have one type of filter, we can simply remove the checks and remove the typing. In a similar fashion, we can note that the only remaining way to get multiple filters of a single type is through a debug command that was added to debugfs. This command is useless in practice, and results in causing bugs if we keep counter tracking but lose the is_vf and is_netdev protections as desired above. Since the only time we'd actually have a counter value besides 0 and 1 is through use of this debugfs hook, we can remove this unnecessary command, and the entire counter logic it required. We vastly simplify mac filters by removing (a) the distinction between VF and netdev filters (b) counting logic (c) the ability to add and remove filters bypassing the stack via debugfs Change-ID: Idf916dd2a1159b1188ddbab5bef6b85ea6bf27d9 Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>
