Previously receiver buffer auto-tuning starts after receiving
one advertised window amount of data. After the initial receiver
buffer was raised by patch a337531b ("tcp: up initial rmem to
128KB and SYN rwin to around 64KB"), the reciver buffer may take
too long to start raising. To address this issue, this patch lowers
the initial bytes expected to receive roughly the expected sender's
initial window.

100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-10-01

This series contains updates to ice driver only.

Anirudh provides several changes to "prep" the driver for upcoming
features.  Specifically, the functions that are used for PF VSI/netdev
setup will also be used in SR-IOV support and to allow the reuse of
these functions, code needs to move.

Dave provides the only other change in the series, updates the driver to
protect the reset patch in its entirety.  This is done by adding the
various bit checks to determine if a reset is scheduled/initiated and
whether it came from the software or firmware.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently, there is no bit, or set of bits, that protect the entirety
of the reset path.

If the reset is originated by the driver, then the relevant
one of the following bits will be set when the reset is scheduled:
__ICE_PFR_REQ
__ICE_CORER_REQ
__ICE_GLOBR_REQ
This bit will not be cleared until after the rebuild has completed.

If the reset is originated by the FW, then the first the driver knows of
it will be the reception of the OICR interrupt.  The __ICE_RESET_OICR_RECV
bit will be set in the interrupt handler.  This will also be the indicator
in a SW originated reset that we have completed the pre-OICR tasks and
have informed the FW that a reset was requested.

To utilize these bits, change the function:
ice_is_reset_recovery_pending()
	to be:
ice_is_reset_in_progress()

The new function will check all of the above bits in the pf->state and
will return a true if one or more of these bits are set.

Increased the amount of channels the representors can open to be the
amount of CPUs. The default amount opened remains one.

Used the standard NIC netdev functions to:
* Set RSS params when building the representors' params.
* Setup an indirect TIR and RQT for the representors upon
  initialization.
* Create a TTC flow table for the representors' indirect TIR (when
  creating the TTC table, mlx5e_set_ttc_basic_params() is not called,
  in order to avoid setting the inner_ttc param, which is not needed).

Added ethtool control to the representors for setting and querying
the amount of open channels. Additionally, included logic in the
representors' ethtool set channels handler which controls a
representor's vport rx rule, so that if there is one open channel
the rx rule steers traffic to the representor's direct TIR, whereas
if there is more than one channel, the rx rule steers traffic to the
new TTC flow table.

Enabled checksum and TSO offloads for the representors, in
order to increase their performance, which is required to
increase the performance of flows that cannot be offloaded.

Checksum offloads contribute to a general acceleration of all
traffic (to around 150%), whereas the TSO offload contributes
to a prominent acceleration of the representor's TX for traffic
flows with larger than MTU sized packets (to around 200%). This
is the usual case for TCP streams, as the PF, which serves as
the uplink representor, and the VF representors employ GRO before
forwarding the packets to the representor.

GRO was enabled implicitly for the representors beforehand, and
is explicitly enabled here to ensure that the representors preserve
the performance boost it provides (of around 200%) when working in
tandem with the TSO offload by the forwardee, which is the standard
case as both the PF and the VF representors employ HW TSO.

The impact of these changes can be seen in the following
measurements taken on a setup of a VM over a VF, connected
to OVS via the VF representor, to an external host:

Before current changes:
                     TCP Throughput [Gb/s]
External host to VM         ~ 10.5
VM to external host         ~ 23.5

With just checksum offloads enabled:
                     TCP Throughput [Gb/s]
External host to VM         ~ 14.9
VM to external host         ~ 28.5

                     TCP Throughput [Gb/s]

The representors' RQ size was not large enough for them to achieve
high enough performance, and therefore needed to be enlarged, while
suffering a minimum hit to its memory usage. To achieve this the
representors RQ size was increased, and its type was changed to be a
striding RQ if it is supported.

Towards that goal the following changes were made:

* Extracted the sequence for setting the standard netdev's RQ parmas
  into a function

* Replaced the sequence for setting the representor's RQ params with
  the standard sequence

The impact of this change can be seen in the following measurements
taken on a setup of a VM over a VF, connected to OVS via the VF
representor, to an external host:

Before current change:
                     TCP Throughput [Gb/s]

tipc: make connection setup more robust

In this series we make a few improvements to the connection setup and
probing mechanism, culminating in the last commit where we make it
possible for a client socket to make multiple setup attempts in case
it encounters receive buffer overflow at the listener socket.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Default socket receive buffer size for a listener socket is 2Mb. For
each arriving empty SYN, the linux kernel allocates a 768 bytes buffer.
This means that a listener socket can serve maximum 2700 simultaneous
empty connection setup requests before it hits a receive buffer
overflow, and much fewer if the SYN is carrying any significant
amount of data.

When this happens the setup request is rejected, and the client
receives an ECONNREFUSED error.

This commit mitigates this problem by letting the client socket try to
retransmit the SYN message multiple times when it sees it rejected with
the code TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD. Retransmission is done at random intervals
in the range of [100 ms, setup_timeout / 4], as many times as there is
room for within the setup timeout limit.

Previously TCP initial receive buffer is ~87KB by default and
the initial receive window is ~29KB (20 MSS). This patch changes
the two numbers to 128KB and ~64KB (rounding down to the multiples
of MSS) respectively. The patch also simplifies the calculations s.t.
the two numbers are directly controlled by sysctl tcp_rmem[1]:

  1) Initial receiver buffer budget (sk_rcvbuf): while this should
     be configured via sysctl tcp_rmem[1], previously tcp_fixup_rcvbuf()
     always override and set a larger size when a new connection
     establishes.

  2) Initial receive window in SYN: previously it is set to 20
     packets if MSS <= 1460. The number 20 was based on the initial
     congestion window of 10: the receiver needs twice amount to
     avoid being limited by the receive window upon out-of-order
     delivery in the first window burst. But since this only
     applies if the receiving MSS <= 1460, connection using large MTU
     (e.g. to utilize receiver zero-copy) may be limited by the
     receive window.

With this patch TCP memory configuration is more straight-forward and
more properly sized to modern high-speed networks by default. Several
popular stacks have been announcing 64KB rwin in SYNs as well.

We have MAX_FW_API_VER_BRANCH, MAX_FW_API_VER_MAJOR, and
MAX_FW_API_VER_MINOR that we use in ice_controlq.h to test when a
firmware version is newer than expected. This is currently tested by
comparing each field separately. Thus, we compare the branch field
against the MAX_FW_API_VER_BRANCH, and so forth.

This means that currently, if we suppose that the max firmware version
is defined as 0.2.1, i.e.

Then firmware 0.1.3 will fail to load. This is because the minor version
3 is greater than the max minor version 1.

This is not intuitive, because of the notion that increasing the major
firmware version to 2 should mean any firmware version with a major
version is less than 2 should be considered older than 2...

In order to allow both 0.2.1 and 0.1.3 to load, you would have to define
the "max" firmware version as 0.2.3.. It is possible that such
a firmware version doesn't even exist yet!

Fix this by replacing the current logic with an updated check that
behaves as follows:

First, we check the major version. If it is greater than the expected
version, then we prevent driver load. Additionally, a warning message is
logged to indicate to the system administrator that they need to update
their driver. This is now the only case where the driver will refuse to
load.

Second, if the major version is less than the expected version, we log
an information message indicating the NVM should be updated.

Third, if the major version is exact, we'll then check the minor
version. If the minor version is more than two versions less than
expected, we log an information message indicating the NVM should be
updated. If it is more than two versions greater than the expected
version, we log an information message that the driver should be
updated.

To support this, the ice_aq_ver_check function needs its signature
updated to pass the HW structure. Since we now pass this structure,
there is no need to pass the firmware API versions separately.
