This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.
Helin adds new fields to i40e_vsi to store user configured RSS config data
and the code to use it. Also renamed RSS items to clarify functionality
and scope to users. Fixed a confusing kernel message of enabling RSS size
by reporting it together with the hardware maximum RSS size.
Anjali fixes the issue of forcing writeback too often causing us to not
benefit from NAPI.
Jesse adds a prefetch for data early in the transmit path to help immensely
for pktgen and forwarding workloads. Fixed the i40e driver that was
possibly sleeping inside critical section of code.
Carolyn fixes an issue where adminq init failures always provided a message
that NVM was newer than expected, when this is not always the case for
init_adminq failures. Fixed by adding a check for that specific error
condition and a different helpful message otherwise.
Mitch fixes error message by telling the user which VF is being naughty,
rather than making them guess. Updated the queue_vector array from a
statically-sized member of the adapter structure, to a dynamically-allocated
and -sized array. This reduces the size of the adapter structure and allows
us to support any number of queue vectors in the future without changing the
code.
The following are changes since commit 6cc568340148424e657508d82692ef787d6c4b2c:
