[PATCH net-next v2 10/13] net: mana: release EQs left idle by a channel-count reduction

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The shared EQ pool introduced by the previous patch is grow-only, so it
sits at the high-water mark of every channel count the port has ever
used. After "ethtool -L ens1 combined 32" followed by "combined 4" the
port keeps 32 EQs and 32 MSI-X vectors while using four:

  # ethtool -L ens1 combined 4
  # grep -c mana /proc/interrupts
  33

Before the queue-set swap this did not happen: mana_detach() destroyed
every EQ and mana_attach() created exactly num_queues of them, so the
interrupt count tracked the configured channel count.

Add mana_shrink_eqs() and call it from mana_free_qset(), which is the
one place where a queue set has just been torn down and the live count
is already known. Both callers benefit: on success the retiring set is
the old one and the pool shrinks to the new count, and if
mana_publish_qset() failed and rolled back, the new set is discarded and
the pool shrinks back to the restored count.

Shrinking is only safe there. A CQ holds the gdma_queue pointer of its
parent EQ, so an EQ may only be destroyed once the set referencing it is
gone.

mana_free_qset() therefore takes the live port context as well, since
the pool belongs to it rather than to the scratch context.

While here, fix mana_create_eq_debugfs(), which stored the new dentry in
a stack copy of the mana_eq rather than in apc->eqs[i]. Nothing noticed
because mana_destroy_eq() removes the whole "EQs" directory recursively,
but per-EQ removal is needed to shrink without leaving stale nodes
behind, which would then collide when the pool grows again.
