[PATCH net-next v5 00/15] ibmveth: Add multi-queue RX support

Hi,

Power11 PHYP adds Virtual Ethernet multi-queue (MQ) RX: multiple
logical-LAN RX queues, per-queue buffer posting, and completion
delivery. Guest Linux did not use that; ibmveth still registered one
RX queue even when PHYP was MQ-capable.

This series adds the ibmveth MQ client for net-next. When PHYP
advertises IBMVETH_ILLAN_RX_MULTI_QUEUE_SUPPORT via H_ILLAN_ATTRIBUTES,
probe enables MQ with a default RX count of min(num_online_cpus(), 8)
(same cap as TX today); ethtool -L can raise RX up to 16. Packets are
received on per-queue NAPI. Older firmware without the bit is unchanged.
Queue selection remains firmware-defined (PHYP hash). Ethtool RSS hash
get/set for that algorithm is deferred to a follow-up series so this
one stays MQ datapath only.

User-visible bits: ethtool -l/-L (channels), ethtool -S and
ndo_get_stats64 (per-queue + aggregate), and a read-only debugfs
buffer_pools dump (v3's multi-line sysfs dump moved to debugfs; the
historical queue-0 poolN/ sysfs ABI is unchanged).

Background:

ibmveth today uses one logical LAN, one set of buffer pools, and one
NAPI context. PHYP MQ mode gives each RX queue its own handle (post via
H_ADD_LOGICAL_LAN_BUFFERS_QUEUE, subordinate register via
H_REG_LOGICAL_LAN_QUEUE); traffic can land on any active queue. The
driver needs per-queue pools, IRQs, and NAPI to match. Legacy firmware
keeps the original hcall path.

Series layout (15 patches):

  1-2   Hypercall wrappers; MQ adapter layout (MAX_RX_QUEUES stays 1)
  3-9   Queue-aware helpers (still SQ runtime): RX, per-queue pools,
        IRQ, TX, PHYP, buffer submit (open/close 3-8); poll harden (9)
  10    Enable MQ datapath at probe/open (subordinate register helpers
        land here with first use)
  11-13 Per-queue RX/TX stats; get_channels MQ counts; debugfs buffer_pools
  14-15 Incremental RX resize (+ resize_rx_channels); wire ethtool
        set_channels

- Helper patches (3-8) reshape ibmveth_open()/close() into
  queue-aware helpers. Patch 9 hardens the SQ poll path with the same
  queue-index helpers; it does not change open/close. Runtime
  behaviour is unchanged through 3-9: num_rx_queues stays 1 and
  multi_queue is false until patch 10.
- Patch 10 is the switch: probe sets multi_queue from firmware, raises
  num_rx_queues, registers subordinates, and replenishes every active
  queue.
- Statistics types land with first use (hcall_stats in 7, rx/tx qstats
  in 11).

Testing:

ppc64le PowerVM LPAR, MQ-capable firmware:
* ethtool -L cycling (16/1/8/11/1/3/16/8/1) with ping - no hangs
* ethtool -L under iperf3; link down/up during traffic
* ifdown/ifup under iperf3 RX+TX (MQ and ethtool -L rx 1)
* Legacy firmware (no MQ bit): open/close/stress on helper path
* Bisect-friendly restack; W=1 clean at tip

Changes in v5:

* Restack mailed v4 (14 patches) to v5 (15):

    v4 1-8  helpers                -> v5 1-8
    (new)   SQ poll harden         -> v5 9   (before MQ enable)
    v4 9    MQ enable              -> v5 10
    v4 10   stats                  -> v5 11
    (new)   get_channels           -> v5 12  (peeled from stats)
    v4 11   debugfs                -> v5 13
    v4 12   resize                 -> v5 14
    v4 13   set_channels           -> v5 15
    v4 14   trailing poll/shutdown -> folded into v5 5/9/10/14
            (mailed "P14" was that trailer, not v5 14)
* Teardown-first resize after aggressive ethtool -L; thin defensive
  poll skip remains; no correlator generation field this series
* opened / rx_irq_setup; set_channels keys on opened (not IFF_UP)
* filter_list_dma=0 on map error; restore default-active 64 KiB pool;
  unwind pools by allocation presence; probe_cleanup clears vio
  drvdata; remove: unregister then cancel_work
* TX quiesce before freeing bounce buffers; guard start_xmit if LTB gone
* MQ H_FUNCTION recovery (reset + SQ fallback); no printk under
  replenish_lock; lock harvest with replenish; resume kicks all queues
* Per-queue update_rx_no_buffer; publish-before-free on resize;
  CMO refresh; IRQ helpers return errno
* Harvest abort (no fake GRO / UAF); poll refuses PHYP re-arm on close;
  wrap-safe skb_put; atomic set_channels; monotonic stats across shrink
* Keep mask -> sync -> napi_disable on teardown; open stays
  request_irq -> napi_enable while PHYP masked; scale-up/recovery keep
  napi_enable before enable_irq
* Pool geometry kept on free; restart_rx_queue after open/scale-down;
  remask after napi_disable; schedule_rx_queue masks only when
  napi_schedule_prep succeeds (STOP + poll no-rearm for storms)

Changes in v4:

Addresses Simon's v3 review and related fixes:
* First-use helpers/includes (irqdomain.h with first dispose); no
  unused statics; dropped orphan open/close pipeline patch
* Open/close unwind (free LAN before RX pools); no double TX teardown
* MQ open: replenish all queues before PHYP unmask; H_FUNCTION on
  subordinate register is a hard open failure
* Resize/set_channels hardenings; stats probe-lifetime + sum-on-read;
  buffer_pools diagnostic on debugfs
* Patch 9: put already-created pool kobjects on probe failure paths
* Patch 14: correlator skip, skb tailroom check, napi_complete_done
  shutdown return < budget
* Bisect-friendly restack (helpers with first use)

Changes in v3:

* Dropped RFC; addressed style / DMA feedback from earlier revisions
* Early MQ enablement iterations (see lore links below)

Comments welcome.
