Amir Vadai bc6a4744b8 net/mlx4_en: num cores tx rings for every UP
Change the TX ring scheme such that the number of rings for untagged packets
and for tagged packets (per each of the vlan priorities) is the same, unlike
the current situation where for tagged traffic there's one ring per priority
and for untagged rings as the number of core.

Queue selection is done as follows:

If the mqprio qdisc is operates on the interface, such that the core networking
code invoked the device setup_tc ndo callback, a mapping of skb->priority =>
queue set is forced - for both, tagged and untagged traffic.

Else, the egress map skb->priority =>  User priority is used for tagged traffic, and
all untagged traffic is sent through tx rings of UP 0.

The patch follows the convergence of discussing that issue with John Fastabend
over this thread http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/229877

Amir Vadai 0e98b523c4 net/mlx4_en: Force user priority by QP attribute
Instead of relying on HW to change schedule queue by UP, schedule
queue is fixed for a tx_ring, and UP in WQE is ignored in this aspect.  This
resolves two issues with untagged traffic:
1. untagged traffic has no UP in packet which is needed for QoS. The change
   above allows setting the schedule queue (and by that the UP) of such a stream.
2. BlueFlame uses the same field used by vlan tag. So forcing UP from QPC
   allows using BF for untagged but prioritized traffic.

In old firmware that force UP is not supported, untagged traffic will not subject to
QoS.

Because UP is set by QP, need to always have a tx ring per UP, even if pfcrx
module paramter is false.

Yevgeny Petrilin 93d3e3678f mlx4_en: set number of rx rings used by RSS using ethtool
Value must be a power of 2 due to HW limitation.
Driver supports only 'equal' mode in ethtool and can't be set by using weights.
