      sfc: Fix DMA unmapping issue with firmware assisted TSO · 2acdb92e
      Alexandre Rames authored
      When using firmware assisted TSO, we use a single DMA mapping for
      the linear area of a TSO skb.
      
      We still have to segment the super-packet and insert a descriptor
      containing the original headers before each segment of payload, so we
      can unmap the linear area only after the last segment is completed.
      The unmapping information for the linear area is therefore associated
      with the last header descriptor.
      
      We calculate the DMA address to unmap from using the map length and
      the invariant that the end of the DMA mapping matches the end of
      the data referenced by the last descriptor.  But this invariant is
      broken when there is TCP payload in the linear area.
      
      Fix this by adding and using an explicit dma_offset field.

      ====================
      This series contains updates to vxlan, net, ixgbe, ixgbevf, and i40e.
      
      Joseph provides a single patch against vxlan which removes the burden
      from the NIC drivers to check if the vxlan driver is enabled in the
      kernel and also makes available the vxlan headrooms to the drivers.
      
      Jacob provides majority of the patches, with patches against net, ixgbe
      and ixgbevf.  His net patch adds might_sleep() call to napi_disable so
      that every use of napi_disable during atomic context will be visible.
      Then Jacob provides a patch to fix qv_lock_napi call in
      ixgbe_napi_disable_all.  The other ixgbe patches cleanup
      ixgbe_check_minimum_link function to correctly show that there are some
      minor loss of encoding, even though we don't calculate it and remove
      unnecessary duplication of PCIe bandwidth display.  Lastly, Jacob
      provides 4 patches against ixgbevf to add ixgbevf_rx_skb in line with
      how ixgbe handles the variations on how packets can be received, adds
      support in order to track how many packets were cleaned during busy poll
      as part of the extended statistics.
      
      Wei Yongjun provides a fix for i40e to return -ENOMEN in the memory
      allocation error handling case instead of returning 0, as done
      elsewhere in this function.
