[PATCH v2 0/8] fix multi-process VF hotplug

[longli@linux.microsoft.com]

From: Long Li <longli@microsoft.com>

This series fixes multi-process support for DPDK drivers used on
Azure VMs with Accelerated Networking (AN). When AN is toggled, the
VF device is hot-removed and hot-added, which can crash secondary
processes due to stale fast-path pointers and race conditions.

Patches 1-3 fix the netvsc PMD:
- Prevent secondary from calling unsupported promiscuous ops
- Fix rwlock misuse and race conditions on VF add/remove events
- Add multi-process VF device removal support via IPC

Patches 4-5 fix resource leaks:
- MANA PD resource leak on device close
- netvsc devargs memory leak on hotplug

Patches 6-8 fix a common bug across MANA, MLX5, and MLX4 drivers
where the secondary process START_RXTX/STOP_RXTX IPC handlers
update dev->rx_pkt_burst/tx_pkt_burst but do not update the
process-local rte_eth_fp_ops[] array. Since rte_eth_rx_burst()
uses rte_eth_fp_ops (not dev->rx_pkt_burst), the secondary retains
stale queue data pointers after VF hot-add, causing a segfault.

v2:
- Patch 2: rename __hn_vf_add/__hn_vf_remove to
  hn_vf_add_unlocked/hn_vf_remove_unlocked to avoid C-reserved
  double-underscore prefix (C99 7.1.3)
- Patch 2: add hn_vf_detach() cleanup path when VF configure/start
  fails after hn_vf_attach() succeeds, preventing half-attached
  VF state
- Patch 2: unconditionally clear vf_vsc_switched on VF remove
  regardless of hn_nvs_set_datapath() result, since VF is being
  removed anyway
- Patch 3: add rte_eth_dev_is_valid_port() check before accessing
  rte_eth_devices[] in secondary VF removal handler
- Patch 3: rename netvsc_mp_req_VF to netvsc_mp_req_vf per DPDK
  lowercase naming convention
- Patch 3: use rte_memory_order_acquire/release instead of relaxed
  for secondary_cnt to ensure visibility on ARM
- Patch 3: initialize ret = 0 in netvsc_init_once()
- Patch 4: use local 'err' variable for ibv_dealloc_pd() return
  value to avoid shadowing outer 'ret'
