[ Upstream commit 18912c4524385dd6532c682cb9d4f6aa39ba8d47 ]
The call to sdma_progress() is called outside the wait lock.
In this case, there is a race condition where sdma_progress() can return
false and the sdma_engine can idle. If that happens, there will be no
more sdma interrupts to cause the wakeup and the vnic_sdma xmit will hang.
Fix by moving the lock to enclose the sdma_progress() call.
Also, delete the tx_retry. The need for this was removed by:
commit bcad29137a97 ("IB/hfi1: Serve the most starved iowait entry first")

Performance analysis shows that the cache callback function
sdma_kmem_cache_ctor contributes to 1/2 of the kmem_cache_allocs
time.
Since all of the fields in the allocated data structure are initialized
in the code path, remove the _ctor function.

When an egress resource(SDMA descriptors, pio credits) is not available,
a sending thread will be put on the resource's wait queue. When the
resource becomes available again, up to a fixed number of sending threads
can be awakened sequentially and removed from the wait queue, depending
on the number of waiting threads and the number of free resources. Since
each awakened sending thread will send as many packets as possible, it
is highly likely that the first sending thread will consume all the
egress resources. Subsequently, it will be put back to the end of the wait
queue. Depending on the timing when the later sending threads wake up,
they may not be able to send any packet and be again put back to the end
of the wait queue sequentially, right behind the first sending thread.
This starvation cycle continues until some sending threads exceed their
retry limit and consequently fail.
This patch fixes the issue by two simple approaches:
(1) Any starved sending thread will be put to the head of the wait queue
while a served sending thread will be put to the tail;
(2) The most starved sending thread will be served first.

HFI1 VNIC SDMA support enables transmission of VNIC packets over SDMA.
Map VNIC queues to SDMA engines and support halting and wakeup of the
VNIC queues.
