This v10 of a series which adds a VFIO selftest driver for the Intel
Gigabit Ethernet controller (IGB), specifically targeting the 82576
device. IGB is fully virtualized in QEMU, making it suitable for running
VFIO selftests without specialized hardware.

v9: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260730-igb_v3_b4-v9-0-9e4d8682437e@google.com/

Version 10 adds an assert in the IGB driver to prevent DMA transfers
smaller than 60 bytes, avoiding out-of-bounds DMA writes caused by
hardware padding on short transfers, and squashes the recovery logic
(previously Patch 5) into the main driver patch to keep the driver
self-contained. Also add some logic from Alex to correct the ordering of
Tx/Rx queue setup.

This series applies on top of linux-next, but the VFIO selftests don't
build without this patch which fixes a compile error for the test
fixture:

Testing
=======
- VFIO selftests builds clean at every commit
- vfio_pci_driver_test passes using IGB driver + QEMU. Use the following
  command to run the tests:

  vng \
  --run arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
  --user root \
  --disable-microvm \
  --memory 32G \
  --cpus 8 \
  --qemu-opts="-M q35,accel=kvm,kernel-irqchip=split" \
  --qemu-opts="-device intel-iommu,intremap=on,caching-mode=on,device-iotlb=on" \
  --qemu-opts="-netdev user,id=net0 -device igb,netdev=net0,addr=09.0" \
  --append "console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=ttyS0 intel_iommu=on iommu=pt" \
  --exec "modprobe vfio-pci && \
          ./tools/testing/selftests/vfio/scripts/setup.sh 0000:00:09.0 && \
          ./tools/testing/selftests/vfio/scripts/run.sh ./tools/testing/selftests/vfio/vfio_pci_driver_test"
--------
Changelog:

v9 -> v10:
- Add assert in IGB driver to prevent DMA transfers < 60 bytes (Ethernet
  minimum payload size) to avoid memory corruption from hardware padding. (Sashiko)
- Squash recovery logic into the main driver patch to make the driver self-contained. 
- Set per-queue enable bits _after_ enabling global queue bits (Alex)

v8 -> v9:
- Enable Pad Short Packets (PSP) in TCTL to support transfers < 60 bytes. (Sashiko)
- Correct misleading comment about interrupt delivery in Patch 1. (Sashiko)

v7 -> v8:
- Rebase onto linux-next branch. (Alex)
- Implement retry limit in vfio_pci_device_reset(). (Alex)
- Carry David's reviewed-by tag onto the patches that haven't been
  touched since v6.

v6 -> v7:
- Allow the driver to be used on any architecture. (Alex) 
- Fix regression in reset logic for the physical device. (Alex)

v5 -> v6:
- Retry on EAGAIN during device reset to handle transient lock contention (Sashiko).

v4 -> v5:
- Reordered igb_remove() to reset the device before disabling MSI-X (Sashiko)
- Refactored hardware reset logic into igb_reset() helper.
- Simplified reset completion check to usleep + assertion instead of retry loop (Sashiko).
- Allow arbitrary test data by enabling Multicast Promiscuous (MPE)
  and Broadcast Accept (BAM) modes (Sashiko).
- Fixed igb_send_msi() to use MSIX_VECTOR_MASK instead of magic number (Sashiko).

v3 -> v4
- Enable MSI-X mode in GPIE (Sashiko)
- Fix hardware initilization order to avoid race conditions (Alex/Sashiko)
- Add memory barrier to prevent speculative reads (Alex/Sashiko)
- Clean up stale references in commit messages and comments (Alex/Sashiko)
- Add a comment to address software/firmware semaphore (Alex/Sashiko)

v2 -> v3
- Poll reset bit and document the required wait time (David/Sashiko)
- Fix the logic for enabling PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY (David/Sashiko)
- Fail the test if autonegotation fails (David/Sashiko)
- Handle endianness conversions (David/Sashiko)
- Use real IGB headers at the start of the series (David)
- Add E1000_TXD_CMD_IFCS to the TX descriptor command word (Sashiko)

v1 -> v2
- Removed the chunking loop in igb_memcpy_start() (David)
- Removed redundant writes to status_error and hdr_addr (David)
- Include official IGB header files (David)
