net: vrf: performance improvements

Device based features for VRF such as qdisc, netfilter and packet
captures are implemented by switching the dst on skbuffs to its per-VRF
dst. This has the effect of controlling the output function which points
a function in the VRF driver. [1] The skb proceeds down the stack with
dst->dev pointing to the VRF device. Netfilter, qdisc and tc rules and
network taps are evaluated based on this device. Finally, the skb makes
it to the vrf_xmit function which resets the dst based on a FIB lookup.

The feature comes at cost - between 5 and 10% depending on test (TCP vs
UDP, stream vs RR and IPv4 vs IPv6). The main cost is requiring a FIB
lookup in the VRF driver for each packet sent through it. The FIB lookup
is required because the real dst gets dropped so that the skb can
traverse the stack with dst->dev set to the VRF device.

All of that is really driven by the qdisc and not replicating the
processing of __dev_queue_xmit if a qdisc is set up on the device. But,
VRF devices by default do not have a qdisc and really have no need for
multiple Tx queues. This means the performance overhead is inflicted upon
all users for the potential use case of a qdisc being configured.

The overhead can be avoided by checking if the default configuration
applies to a specific VRF device before switching the dst. If a device
does not have a qdisc, the pass through netfilter hooks and packet taps
can be done inline without dropping the dst and thus avoiding the
performance penalty. With this change performance overhead of VRF drops
to neglible (difference with run-over-run variance) to 3% depending on
test type.

netperf performance comparison for 3 cases:
1. L3_MASTER_DEVICE compiled out
2. VRF with this patch set
3. current VRF code

IPv4
----
           no-l3mdev     new-vrf     old-vrf
TCP_RR       28778        28938*       27169
TCP_CRR      10706        10490         9770
UDP_RR       30750        29813        29256

* Although higher in the final run used for submitting this patch set, I
  think what this really represents is a neglible performance overhead for
  VRF with this change (i.e, within the +-1% variance of runs). Most
  notably the FIB lookups in the Tx path are avoided for TCP_RR.

IPv6
----
           no-l3mdev     new-vrf     old-vrf
TCP_RR       29495        29432       27794
TCP_CRR      10520        10338        9870
UDP_RR       26137        27019*      26511

* UDP is consistently better with VRF for two reasons:
  1. Source address selection with L3 domains is considering fewer
     addresses since only addresses on interfaces in the domain are
     considered for the selection. Specifically, perf-top shows
     shows ipv6_get_saddr_eval, ipv6_dev_get_saddr and __ipv6_dev_get_saddr
     running much lower with vrf than without.

  2. The VRF table contains all routes (i.e, there are no separate local
     and main tables per VRF). That means ip6_pol_route_output only has 1
     lookup for VRF where it does 2 without it (1 in the local table and 1
     in the main table).

The VRF driver allows users to implement device based features for an
entire domain. For example, a qdisc or netfilter rules can be attached
to a VRF device or tcpdump can be used to view packets for all devices
in the L3 domain.

The device-based features come with a performance penalty, most
notably in the Tx path. The VRF driver uses the l3mdev_l3_out hook
to switch the dst on an skb to its private dst. This allows the skb
to traverse the xmit stack with the device set to the VRF device
which in turn enables the netfilter and qdisc features. The VRF
driver then performs the FIB lookup again and reinserts the packet.

This patch avoids the redirect for IPv6 packets if a qdisc has not
been attached to a VRF device which is the default config. In this
case the netfilter hooks and network taps are directly traversed in
the l3mdev_l3_out handler. If a qdisc is attached to a VRF device,
then the redirect using the vrf dst is done.

Additional overhead is removed by only checking packet taps if a
socket is open on the device (vrf_dev->ptype_all list is not empty).
Packet sockets bound to any device will still get a copy of the
packet via the real ingress or egress interface.

The end result of this change is a decrease in the overhead of VRF
for the default, baseline case (ie., no netfilter rules, no packet
sockets, no qdisc) from a +3% improvement for UDP which has a lookup
per packet (VRF being better than no l3mdev) to ~2% loss for TCP_CRR
which connects a socket for each request-response.

We are using the smallest padding boundary (8 bytes), which isn't
smaller than the Memory Controller Read/Write Size

We get best performance in 100G when the Packing Boundary is a multiple
of the Maximum Payload Size. Its related to inefficient chopping of DMA
packets by PCIe, that causes more overhead on bus. So driver is helping
by making the starting address alignment to be MPS size.

We will try to determine PCIE MaxPayloadSize capabiltiy  and set
IngPackBoundary based on this value. If cache line size is greater than
MPS or determinig MPS fails, we will use cache line size to determine
IngPackBoundary(as before).

When PF responds to the VF requests it also cleans the HW-channel
indication in firmware to allow further VF messages to arrive,
but the order currently applied is wrong -
The PF is copying by DMAE the response the VF is polling on for
completion, and only afterwards sets the HW-channel to ready state.

This creates a race condition where the VF would be able to send
an additional message to the PF before the channel would get ready
again, causing the firmware to consider the VF as malicious.

Change to support host<->firmware command return value.

1. Added support for firmware commands to return a value:
   - previously, the returned code overlapped with host codes, thus
     commands were only returning 0 (success) or -1 (interpreted as

   - per 'response_manager.h', the error codes are split into two fields
     (major/minor) now, firmware commands are grouped into their own
     'major' group, separate from the host's 'major' group, which allow f/w
     commands to return any 16-bit value
2. The command to set vf mac addr was logging a success message even if
