net/mlx5e: Fix configuration of XPS cpumasks and netdev queues in corner cases
Currently, mlx5e notifies the kernel about the number of queues and sets the default XPS cpumasks when channels are activated. This implementation has several corner cases, in which the kernel may not be updated on time, or XPS cpumasks may be reset when not directly touched by the user. This commit fixes these corner cases to match the following expected behavior: 1. The number of queues always corresponds to the number of channels configured. 2. XPS cpumasks are set to driver's defaults on netdev attach. 3. XPS cpumasks set by user are not reset, unless the number of channels changes. If the number of channels changes, they are reset to driver's defaults. (In general case, when the number of channels increases or decreases, it's not possible to guess how to convert the current XPS cpumasks to work with the new number of channels, so we let the user reconfigure it if they change the number of channels.) XPS cpumasks are no longer stored per channel. Only one temporary cpumask is used. The old stored cpumasks didn't reflect the user's changes and were not used after applying them. A scratchpad area is added to struct mlx5e_priv. As cpumask_var_t requires allocation, and the preactivate hook can't fail, we need to preallocate the temporary cpumask in advance. It's stored in the scratchpad. Fixes: 149e566f ("net/mlx5e: Expand XPS cpumask to cover all online cpus") Signed-off-by:Maxim Mikityanskiy <maximmi@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by:
