10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2021-11-17

Radoslaw Tyl says:

The change is a consequence of errors reported by the ixgbevf driver
while starting several virtual guests at the same time on ESX host.
During this, VF was not able to communicate correctly with the PF,
as a result reported "PF still in reset state. Is the PF interface up?"
and then goes to locked state. The only thing left was to reload
the VF driver on the guest OS.

The background of the problem is that the current PFU and VFU
semaphore locking mechanism between sender and receiver may cause
overriding Mailbox memory (VFMBMEM), in such scenario receiver of
the original message will read the invalid, corrupted or one (or more)
message may be lost.

This change is actually as a support for communication with PF ESX
driver and does not contains changes and support for ixgbe driver.
For maintain backward compatibility, previous communication method
has been preserved in the form of LEGACY functions.

In the future there is a plan to add a support for a 1.5 mailbox API
communication also to ixgbe driver.

ag71xx apparently only supports MII port type, which makes it different

Convert the driver to use phylink_generic_validate(), which will allow
all ethtool port linkmodes instead of only MII, giving the driver
consistent behaviour with other drivers.

Improve reliability of the mailbox communication and remove
its potential flaws that may lead to the undefined or faulty behavior.

Recently some users reported issues on ESX with 10G Intel NICs which were
found to be caused by incorrect implementation of the PF-VF mailbox
communication.

Technical investigation highlighted areas to improve in the communication
between PF or VF that wants to send the message (sender) and the other
part which receives the message (receiver):

 - Locking the mailbox when the sender wants to send a message
 - Releasing the mailbox when the communication ends
 - Returning the result of the mailbox message execution

net: make dev_watchdog() less intrusive

dev_watchdog() is used on many NIC to periodically monitor TX queues
to detect hangs.

Problem is : It stops all queues, then check them, then 'unfreeze' them.

Not only this stops feeding the NIC, it also migrates all qdiscs
to be serviced on the cpu calling netif_tx_unlock(), causing
a potential latency artifact.

With many TX queues, this is becoming more visible.

If the used PHYs also support hardware timestamping, all configuration requests
