      nfp: flower: improve flower resilience
      
      This series contains mostly changes which improve nfp flower
      offload's resilience, but are too large or risky to push into net.
      
      Fred makes the driver waits for flower FW responses uninterruptible,
      and a little longer (~40ms).
      
      Pieter adds support for cards with multiple rule memories.
      
      John reworks the MAC offloads.  He says:
      > When potential tunnel end-point MACs are offloaded, they are assigned an
      > index. This index may be associated with a port number meaning that if a
      > packet matches an offloaded MAC address on the card, then the ingress
      > port for that MAC can also be verified. In the case of shared MACs (e.g.
      > on a linux bond) there may be situations where this index maps to only
      > one of the ports that share the MAC.
      >
      > The idea of 'global' MAC indexes are supported that bypass the check on
      > ingress port on the NFP. The patchset tracks shared MACs and assigns
      > global indexes to these. It also ensures that port based indexes are
      > re-applied if a single port becomes the only user of an offloaded MAC.
      >
      > Other patches in the set aim to tidy code without changing functionality.
      > There is also a delete offload message introduced to ensure that MACs no
      > longer in use in kernel space are removed from the firmware lookup tables.

      nfp: flower: enable MAC address sharing for offloadable devs · 20cce886
      John Hurley authored
      A MAC address is not necessarily a unique identifier for a netdev. Drivers
      such as Linux bonds, for example, can apply the same MAC address to the
      upper layer device and all lower layer devices.
      
      NFP MAC offload for tunnel decap includes port verification for reprs but
      also supports the offload of non-repr MAC addresses by assigning 'global'
      indexes to these. This means that the FW will not verify the incoming port
      of a packet matching this destination MAC.
      
      Modify the MAC offload logic to assign global indexes based on MAC address
      instead of net device (as it currently does). Use this to allow multiple
      devices to share the same MAC. In other words, if a repr shares its MAC
      address with another device then give the offloaded MAC a global index
      rather than associate it with an ingress port. Track this so that changes
      can be reverted as MACs stop being shared.
      
      Implement this by removing the current list based assignment of global
      indexes and replacing it with an rhashtable that maps an offloaded MAC
      address to the number of devices sharing it, distributing global indexes
      based on this.
