When choosing channel amounts and ring sizes, the maximums in the
ibmvnic driver are defined by the virtual i/o server management
partition. Even though they are defined as maximums, the client
driver may in fact successfully request resources that exceed
these limits, which are mostly dependent on a user's hardware
With this in mind, provide an ethtool flag that when enabled will
allow the user to request resources limited by driver-defined
maximums instead of limits defined by the management partition.
The driver will try to honor the user's request but may not allowed
by the management partition. In this case, the driver requests
as close as it can get to the desired amount until it succeeds.

When backing device firmware reports an error, it provides an
error ID, which is meant to be queried for more detailed error
information. Currently, however, an error ID is not provided by
the Virtual I/O server and there are not any plans to do so. For
now, it is always unfilled or zero, so request_error_information
will never be called. Remove it.

Introduce a recovery hard reset to handle reset failure as a result of
change of device context following a transport event, such as a
backing device failover or partition migration. These operations reset
the device context to its initial state. If this occurs during a reset,
any initialization commands are likely to fail with an invalid state
error as backing device firmware requests reinitialization.
When this happens, make one more attempt by performing a hard reset,
which frees any resources currently allocated and performs device
initialization. If a transport event occurs during a device reset, a
flag is set which will trigger a new hard reset following the
completionof the current reset event.

Introduce an "active" state for a IBM vNIC Command-Response Queue. A CRQ
is considered active once it has initialized or linked with its partner by
sending an initialization request and getting a successful response back
from the management partition. Until this has happened, do not allow CRQ
commands to be sent other than the initialization request.
This change will avoid a protocol error in case of a device transport
event occurring during a initialization. When the driver receives a
transport event notification indicating that the backing hardware
has changed and needs reinitialization, any further commands other
than the initialization handshake with the VIOS management partition
will result in an invalid state error. Instead of sending a command
that will be returned with an error, print a warning and return an
error that will be handled by the caller.

There is a bug in handling the possible return codes from sending the
login CRQ. The current code treats any non-success return value,
minus failure to send the crq and a timeout waiting for a login response,
as a need to re-send the login CRQ. This can put the drive in an
infinite loop of trying to login when getting return values other
that a partial success such as a return code of aborted. For these
scenarios the login will not ever succeed at this point and the
driver would need to be reset again.
To resolve this loop trying to login is updated to only retry the
login if the driver gets a return code of a partial success. Other
return codes are treated as an error and the driver returns an error
from ibmvnic_login().
To avoid infinite looping in the partial success return cases, the
number of retries is capped at the maximum number of supported
queues. This value was chosen because the driver does a renegotiation
of capabilities which sets the number of queues possible and allows
the driver to attempt a login for possible value for the number
of queues supported.

There is a failover case for a non-redundant pseries VNIC
configuration that was not being handled properly. The current
implementation assumes that the driver will always have a redandant
device to communicate with following a failover notification. There
are cases, however, when a non-redundant configuration can receive
a failover request. If that happens, the driver should wait until
it receives a signal that the device is ready for operation.
The driver is agnostic of its backing hardware configuration,
so this fix necessarily affects all device failover management.
The driver needs to wait until it receives a signal that the device
is ready for resetting. A flag is introduced to track this intermediary
state where the driver is waiting for an active device.

The approach of one counter to rule them all when tracking the number
of active sub-crqs, pools, and napi has problems handling some failover
scenarios. This is due to the split in initializing the sub crqs,

the active counts.
This patch simplifies this by having a counter for tx and rx

Using newer backing devices can cause the required padding at the end of
buffer as well as the number of queues to change after a failover.
Since we currently assume that these values never change, after a
failover to a backing device with different capabilities, we can get
errors from the vnic server, attempt to free long term buffers that are
no longer there, or not free long term buffers that should be freed.
This patch resolves the issue by checking whether any of these values
change, and if so perform the necessary re-allocations.

The patch stores the return code of the REQUEST_MAP_RSP sub-CRQ command
in the private data structure, where it can be later checked during
device open or a reset.
In the case of a reset, the mapping request to the vNIC Server may fail,
especially in the case of a partition migration. The driver attempts to
handle this by re-allocating the buffer and re-sending the mapping request.
The original error handling implementation was removed. The separate
function handling the REQUEST_MAP response message was also removed,
since it is now simple enough to be handled in the ibmvnic_handle_crq
function.

The ibmvnic driver has multiple handlers for resetting the driver
depending on the reason the reset is needed (failover, lpm,
fatal erors,...). All of the reset handlers do essentially the same
thing, this patch moves this work to a common reset handler.
By doing this we also allow the driver to better handle situations
where we can get a reset while handling a reset.
The updated reset handling works by adding a reset work item to the
list of resets and then scheduling work to perform the reset. This
step is necessary because we can receive a reset in interrupt context
and we want to handle the reset out of interrupt context.

After sending device capability queries and requests to the vNIC Server,
an interrupt is triggered and the responses are written to the driver's
CRQ response buffer. Since the interrupt can be triggered before all
responses are written and visible to the partition, there is a danger
that the interrupt handler or tasklet can terminate before all responses
are read, resulting in a failure to initialize the device.
To avoid this scenario, when capability commands are sent, we set
a flag that will be checked in the following interrupt tasklet that
will handle the capability responses from the server. Once all
responses have been handled, the flag is disabled; and the tasklet
is allowed to terminate.
