This series contains updates to ixgbe only. Emil fixes an issue where the semaphore bits could be stuck after a reset or a crash, by adding the clearing of software resource bits in the software/firmware synchronization register. Added error checks when we attempt to identify and initialize the PHY to prevent a crash. Fixed a few issues in the logic of ixgbe_clean_test_rings() which was exposed by a previous commit that was causing a crash in ethtool diagnostics.
Bhumika Goyal fixes a couple of instances which were overlooked when we made ixgbe_mac_operations constant. Shannon Nelson fixes an issue to restore normal operations after the last MACVLAN offload is removed, otherwise we get stuck in a single queue operations. The infamous Jesper Dangaard Brouer adds a counter which counts the number of times the recycle fails and the real page allocator is invoked. Alex updates the adaptive ITR algorithm to better support the needs of the network. This attempt to make it so that our ITR algorithm will try to prevent either starving a socket buffer for memory in the case of transmit, or overrunning an receive socket buffer on receive. We should function better with new features like XDP which can handle small packets at high rates without needing to lock us into NAPI polling mode.
