net: hns: fixes two bugs in hns driver

  This patchset fixes two bugs in hns driver.
  - fixes timeout when received pause frame from the connective ports
  - should be set by using ethtool -s when the devices are link down
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

this patch fixes the bug triggered timeout sequence. when the connective
ports cannot accept the packets with higher speed, they will send out the
pause frame to the Soc's mac. At that time, the driver resets the relevant
of the Soc, then it causes the packets cannot be sent out immediately.
this patch fixes the issue.

  before this patch, hns driver only permits user to set the net device
by using ethtool -s when the device is link up. it is obviously not so
good. it needs to be set no matter it is link up or down. so this patch
fixes this issue.

A dhcp server may provide parameters to a client from a pool of IP
addresses and using a shared rootfs, or provide a specific set of
parameters for a specific client, usually using the MAC address to
identify each client individually. The dhcp protocol also specifies
a client-id field which can be used to determine the correct
parameters to supply when no MAC address is available. There is
currently no way to tell the kernel to supply a specific client-id,
only the userspace dhcp clients support this feature, but this can
not be used when the network is needed before userspace is available
such as when the root filesystem is on NFS.

This patch is to be able to do something like "ip=dhcp,client_id_type,
client_id_value", as a kernel parameter to enable the kernel to
identify itself to the server.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-10-16

This series contains updates to e1000, e1000e, igb, igbvf, ixgbe, ixgbevf,
i40e, i40evf and fm10k.

Alex Duyck fixes the polling routine for i40e/i40evf were the NAPI budget
for receive cleanup was being rounded up to 1 but the netpoll call was
expecting no Rx to be processed as the budget passed was 0.  Also cleaned
up IN_NETPOLL flag that was not adding any value due to the receive
cleanup was handled in NAPI.  Added support for netpoll for i40evf as
well.

Jesse updates all of our drivers to use napi_complete_done() instead of
napi_complete(), which allows us to use
/sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout.  Added ethtool support to control
and report the new Interrupt Limit register, since the XL710 hardware
has a different interrupt moderation design that can support a limit of
total interrupts per second per vector.

Shannon cleans up startup log entries to cut down the number by putting
a couple behind debug flags and combining others into single line.  Added
support to enable/disable printing VEB statistics via ethtool.

Jingjing fixes a compile issue by adding const to functions that return
strings that are not going to be modified.

Greg Rose cleans up defines that were not used and were causing customer
confusion.

Greg Bowers adds support for setting a new bit in the Set Local LLDP MIB
admin queue command Type field.

Mitch fixes an issue where vlan_features field was set to the same value
as netdev features field, but before the features were actually being
set up, leaving the vlan_features empty.  Resolve the issue by setting
up the netdev features first, then mask out the VLAN feature bits when
assigning vlan_features.  Fixed VF init timing, where in some instances
the VFs would fail to initialize the first time you loaded the driver.
To correct this, increased the delay time for the init task and wait
longer before giving up.

v2: fix missing space in function header comment in patch 3, based on
    feedback from Sergei Shtylyov.

With 64 VFs, we can easily overwhelm the AQ on the PF if we have too low
a limit on the number of AQ requests. This leads to ARQ overflow errors,
and occasionally VFs that fail to initialize.

Since we really only hit this condition on initial VF driver load, the
requests that we process are lightweight, so this extra work doesn't
cause problems for the PF driver.

On some devices, in some systems, in some configurations, the VFs would
fail to initialize the first time you loaded the driver.

To correct this, increase the delay time for the init task slightly, and
wait longer before giving up.

If we enable VFs and load the VF driver in the same kernel as the PF
driver, we can totally overwhelm the PF driver with AQ requests because
all of the instances try to initialize at the same time.

To help alleviate this, stagger the initial scheduling of the init task
using the PCIe function as a multiplier. We mask off the function to
only three bits so no instance has to wait too long.

With these two changes, initializing 128 VFs on a single device goes
from four minutes to just a few seconds.

The vlan_features field was correctly being set to the same value as the
netdev features field. However, this was being done before the features
were actually being set up, leaving the vlan_features empty.

Also, after a reset, vlan_features will be incorrectly assigned the
previous netdev feature flags, which can contain VLAN feature bits. This
makes the VLAN code angry and will cause a stack dump.

To fix these issues, set up the netdev features first, then mask out the
VLAN feature bits when assigning vlan_features.

When the number of invalid messages from a VF is exceeded, the VF
will be disabled, due to the invalid messages.  This happens if
other VF drivers (like DPDK) send a message through the driver's
mailbox (aka virtchannel) interface, but the message is not
supported by the i40e pf driver, such as CONFIG_PROMISCUOUS_MODE.

This patch changes the num_invalid_msgs in struct i40e_vf to record
the continuous invalid msgs, and it will be reset when a valid msg
is received.

The XL710 hardware has a different interrupt moderation design
that can support a limit of total interrupts per second per
vector, in addition to the "number of interrupts per second"
controls already established in the driver.  This combination
of hardware features allows us to set very low default latency
settings but minimize the total CPU utilization by not
making too many interrupts, should the user desire.

The current driver implementation is still enabling the dynamic
moderation in the driver, and only using the rx/tx-usecs
limit in ethtool to limit the interrupt rate per second, by default.

The new code implemented in this patch
2) adds init/use of the new "Interrupt Limit" register
3) adds ethtool knob to control/report the limits above

Usage is ethtool -C ethx rx-usecs-high <value> Where <value> is number
of microseconds to create a rate of 1/N interrupts per second,
regardless of rx-usecs or tx-usecs values. Since there is a credit based
scheme in the hardware, the rx-usecs and tx-usecs can be configured for
very low latency for short bursts, but once the credit runs out the
refill rate on the credits is limited by rx-usecs-high.

some error messages are expected, but need not be shown to the users.
The driver doesn't know which are ignorable from real errors, so needs

Using napi_complete_done() instead of napi_complete() allows
us to use /sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout

GRO layer can aggregate more packets if the flush is delayed a bit,
without having to set too big coalescing parameters that impact
